clinicaltrialsgov-mcp-server

Match patient demographics and conditions to eligible recruiting clinical trials. Provide age, sex, conditions, and location to find studies with matching eligibility criteria, contact information, and recruiting locations. Results are re-ranked so studies whose own condition matches a requested condition surface above tangential matches from ClinicalTrials.gov's fuzzy condition search. Each candidate returns only the sites matching the requested location (capped by locationLimit), not the study's full registered site list — a large trial can register hundreds of sites worldwide. When none of a candidate's matched sites is recruiting, its nearest recruiting site is added, so an enrollable site is never hidden behind a closer closed one. Fetch a study's complete record with clinicaltrials_get_study_record.

Resolve valid field names from the ClinicalTrials.gov data model — the canonical PascalCase identifiers (OverallStatus, EnrollmentCount, LeadSponsorName) accepted by the `fields`, `advancedFilter`, and `sort` parameters of other tools, and as input to clinicaltrials_get_field_values. Select a mode: `"search"` — keyword search returning ranked matches (pass `query`, e.g. "enrollment", "sponsor", "adverse events"); `"drill"` — drill into a specific section by dot-notation path (pass `path`, e.g. "protocolSection.designModule"); `"overview"` — top-level summary of all sections (no additional args).

Discover valid values for ClinicalTrials.gov fields with study counts per value. Use to explore available filter options before building a search — e.g., valid OverallStatus, Phase, InterventionType, StudyType, or LeadSponsorClass values.

Get total clinical trial study count from ClinicalTrials.gov matching a query, without fetching study data. Fast and lightweight. Use for quick statistics or to build breakdowns by calling multiple times with different filters (e.g., count by phase, count by status, count recruiting vs completed for a condition).

Fetch a single clinical trial study by NCT ID from ClinicalTrials.gov. Returns the full study record including protocol details, eligibility criteria, outcomes, arms, interventions, contacts, and locations. Optional locationLimit / outcomeLimit / referenceLimit / nearLocation parameters trim locations, outcomes, and references — original totals are preserved in `filtersApplied` only when a cap actually trims the set.

Fetch clinical trial results data from ClinicalTrials.gov for completed studies — outcome measures with statistics, adverse events, participant flow, baseline characteristics, and results metadata (limitations & caveats, certain-agreement disclosure restrictions, results point of contact). Only available for studies where hasResults is true. Use clinicaltrials_search_studies first to find studies with results. A results-rich record can exceed 500KB per study in full mode — bound it with summary=true, narrower sections, or the outcomeLimit / adverseEventLimit caps, whose trims are reported per study in filtersApplied.

Search for clinical trial studies from ClinicalTrials.gov. Supports full-text and field-specific queries, status/phase/geographic filters, pagination, sorting, and field selection. Returns a compact per-study index by default; pass the fields parameter to get specific leaves at full fidelity — full study records are ~70KB each.
