Use it through the gateway
Nothing to set up. Connect the Smart Gateway once; when your assistant searches for something PubMed does, the first call connects PubMed to your account and runs it. You can also connect it with one click from the dashboard.
A third-party server: Anthropic (hosted)'s terms apply, and its tool descriptions are text in front of your assistant. Connect only servers you trust.
