Features

Keyword search with PubMed query syntax support (e.g. CRISPR gene editing, cancer AND immunotherapy)
Two retrieval modes:
- Summary (fast): title, authors, journal, publication date, DOI, pub type, language
- Full (detailed): everything in summary + abstract, MeSH terms, ISSN, publication year
Date range filtering (e.g. 2020:2026) to narrow results by publication date
Sort by relevance or date — use PubMed's native ranking or get the most recent papers
Structured output — clean JSON records ready for analysis, with PubMed URLs for each article
Rate-limit aware — respects NCBI's 3 requests/second guideline
