Our take

A mature biomedical literature server for PubMed, Europe PMC, PMC full text, Unpaywall fallback, MeSH lookup, citation formatting, and related-article discovery. It has unusually careful response contracts, provenance handling, rate-limit awareness, tests, and both hosted and self-hosted transports. The only real caveat is operational: higher NCBI limits and some full-text paths work better when you provide contact/API-key configuration.
