🔍 Enable AI assistants to search and access ClinicalTrials.gov data through a simple MCP interface.
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. ClinicalTrials MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. 🔍 Enable AI assistants to search and access ClinicalTrials.gov data through a simple MCP interface.
@smithery/cli on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
The server publishes 10 tools. What each one is for:

The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. ClinicalTrials's toolset — Claude, Cursor, Windsurf and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by JackKuo666; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
