cyanheads/clinicaltrialsgov-mcp-server

cyanheads/clinicaltrialsgov-mcp-server is an Apache-2.0-licensed, TypeScript MCP server that exposes 7 tools for searching ClinicalTrials.gov, retrieving study records, getting field counts and definitions, and matching patients to eligible trials, with a public hosted endpoint and Docker / npm installs, so clinical researchers, bioinformatics builders, and AI agent teams can wire real-world clini

Why it matters

Useful for clinical researchers, bioinformatics builders, and AI agent teams who need structured clinical-trial search and patient matching behind MCP, because the server ships 7 typed tools (search, get record, count, field values, field definitions, …) with a public hosted endpoint and STDIO / Streamable HTTP transports on Apache-2.0, which means a clinical-research agent can be wired into Claud

Who should use it

Clinical researchers and bioinformaticians who need a typed MCP surface for searching ClinicalTrials.gov and matching patients to eligible trialsAI agent teams who want a hosted clinical-trial tool (search + patient matching) wired into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible clientHealth-tech builders who need a Docker / npm-installable MCP server with a public hosted endpoint and STDIO / Streamable HTTP transports

Who should skip it

Skip if the source link, docs, or setup requirements do not match your workflow.

Risk explanation

It returns data from ClinicalTrials.gov that may be PHI-adjacent when paired with patient context, so confirm the data-handling boundary, do not send identifiable patient data through the public hosted endpoint, and review the upstream ClinicalTrials.gov terms of use before wiring it into a clinical workflow.
