Overview

What is ClinicalTrials MCP Server?

The ClinicalTrials MCP Server bridges AI assistants with ClinicalTrials.gov’s clinical trial repository through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows AI models to search for clinical trials and access their metadata programmatically. Designed for researchers, developers, and health-science professionals who need efficient, code-driven access to trial data.

For development, clone the repo and run uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt. Start the server with python clinical_trials_server.py. Then use the provided MCP tools (e.g., search_clinical_trials_and_save_studies_to_csv) in your AI assistant or application.
