Score 27

Search PubMed and fetch article metadata directly through NCBI E-utilities (esearch, efetch, esummary) with curl, reporting PMIDs. Use whenever a curator needs literature for a gene, process, or claim, wants a PMID for a citation, or asks to look something up in PubMed. Do not use a PubMed MCP for this. pubmed-eutils is published by geneontology on GitHub.
