statpearls_disease_infoLABSCO SUMMARY
A named medical source instead of recall.
When a clinical question comes up, the answer is a peer-reviewed StatPearls article fetched at that moment — which is a different thing from a model summarising what it remembers.
What it is
A server that searches StatPearls — the peer-reviewed medical reference hosted on NCBI Bookshelf — for a disease or condition and returns the article as Markdown instead of HTML. It ships as a self-contained binary per platform.
What you get
- statpearls_disease_info searches for a disease or condition and returns its StatPearls article
- HTML is converted to well-formed Markdown, so the text arrives readable rather than wrapped in page markup
- Length and table-of-contents options on the call, for when you want the section rather than the whole chapter
- The content is peer-reviewed StatPearls material, so the answer has a source you can name
Requirements
Download the binary for your OS from the releases page and point your client's command at it — nothing else to install. Also available through Smithery, or from source with Bun. No account and no key.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y @smithery/cli install @jpoles1/statpearls-mcp --client claude
USE CASES
Getting a reliable overview of a condition
The article comes back as Markdown, ready to read rather than to clean up.
Grounding a clinical answer in something citable
The answer arrives with a named peer-reviewed source behind it.
Reading just the part you need
Length and contents options keep a long chapter from arriving whole when you wanted one section.
