What the code does

We read the source, 4 d ago · rules 995398eba69f

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs an external command run_with_deps.py:11
    subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "install", "requests", "fastmcp"])

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Lineex Pubmed MCP Smithery — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Lineex Pubmed MCP Smithery working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 624 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Lineex Pubmed MCP Smithery still maintained?
No commits for 13 months. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
The registry lists Lineex Pubmed MCP Smithery as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Lineex Pubmed MCP Smithery?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Lineex Pubmed MCP Smithery need an API key?
No. Lineex Pubmed MCP Smithery completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is Lineex Pubmed MCP Smithery open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python and 1 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
