The Model Context Protocol may fundamentally change how AI tools access academic content. Rather than AI powered search engines building massive centralised indexes, MCP allows AI models to connect directly to publisher content in a real-time federated search model. This post demostrates the use of Wiley AI Gateway and PubMed connectors when connected to Claude, showing how Claude can now pilot test search strategies for evidence synthesis using Pubmed.
What a thorough investigation! Lots of provocative questions.
