Environment setup included
Search across all major biomedical databases (PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, ClinicalTrials.gov, FDA drug labels) simultaneously using natural language queries powered by Valyu's semantic search API.
The scripts/search commands in this documentation are relative to this skill's installation directory.
Before running any command, locate the script using:
BIOMEDICAL_SCRIPT=$(find ~/.claude/plugins/cache -name "search" -path "*/biomedical-search/*/scripts/*" -type f 2>/dev/null | head -1)Then use the full path for all commands:
$BIOMEDICAL_SCRIPT "CAR-T cell therapy" 20When you run a search and receive "setup_required": true, follow this flow:
Ask the user for their API key: "To search biomedical databases, I need your Valyu API key. Get one free ($10 credits) at https://platform.valyu.ai"
Once the user provides the key, run:
scripts/search setup <api-key>Retry the original search.

If you're building an AI project and want to integrate Biomedical Search directly into your application, use the Valyu SDK:
from valyu import Valyu
client = Valyu(api_key="your-api-key")
response = client.search(
query="your search query here",
included_sources=["valyu/valyu-pubmed", "valyu/valyu-biorxiv", "valyu/valyu-medrxiv", "valyu/valyu-clinical-trials", "valyu/valyu-drug-labels"],
import { Valyu } from "valyu-js";
const client = new Valyu("your-api-key");
const response = await client.search({
query: "your search query here",
includedSources: ["valyu/valyu-pubmed", "valyu/valyu-biorxiv", "valyu/valyu-medrxiv",
See the Valyu docs for full integration examples and SDK reference.
