### Description (declared)

# clinicaltrials-mcp

**Conversational access to 400,000+ clinical trials — for pharma analysts, CRO teams, and health-tech builders.**

A Python MCP server that connects Cursor, Claude Desktop, and any MCP-compatible client directly to ClinicalTrials.gov. Ask questions in plain English. Get clean, structured answers in seconds — no API keys, no setup, no parsing raw JSON.

## The Problem

Today's workflow for a pharma analyst:

1. Go to clinicaltrials.gov
2. Struggle with the filter UI
3. Export raw JSON
4. Parse it manually or write a one-off script
5. Copy into Excel or Word
6. Repeat 40 times for a competitive analysis
7. **Total time: 2–3 days**

With clinicaltrials-mcp in Cursor or Claude Desktop:

1. Ask a question in plain English
2. Get a structured, synthesised answer in seconds
3. Follow up, drill down, compare — conversationally
4. **Total time: 20 minutes**

## Install & Setup

### Step 1 — Install

```bash
pip install clinicaltrials-mcp
```

No API key. No account. No configuration required.

### Step 2 — Add to your MCP client

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clinicaltrials": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["clinicaltrials-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

`uvx` runs the package without requiring it on your `$PATH`. If you don't have `uv`: `pip install uv`.

Restart your MCP client. The 5 tools appear automatically.

### Running from source (contributors / developers)

```bash
git clone https://github.com/agents100x/clinicaltrials-mcp

uv sync
```

```json

    "clinicaltrials": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/clinicaltrials-mcp",
