# ClinicalTrials.gov MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > ClinicalTrials.gov MCP. It lets your agent search the world's largest registry of clinical research studies to find studies on diseases, drugs, and experimental therapies. This tool connects your AI client directly to the National Institutes of Health database, allowing you to pull study protocols, find active recruitment, and filter research by sponsor or keyword instantly. ## Overview - **Category:** the-unthinkable - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_qkEuaZT8V3t0CQhQiqk6XNySz3HezsthJwvuV29r/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** clinical-trials, medical-research, public-health, data-registry, experimental-therapies, biomedical-data ## Description You need to know what's happening in clinical research without digging through thousands of pages on a government website. This Connector lets your agent do the heavy lifting for you. You can ask it to find specific trials based on a drug name, a medical condition, or a specific sponsor, and it'll pull back the data from the National Institutes of Health. It's built for people who need accuracy from the gold standard of clinical trial transparency. Instead of manually filtering through recruitment statuses or trial phases, you just tell your agent what you're looking for. Whether you're a researcher tracking a specific compound, a biotech analyst monitoring the market, or a patient advocate looking for active enrollment, this tool brings the data to you in a readable format. It's one of the many specialized connectors you can find in the Vinkius catalog to bridge the gap between your AI client and real-world medical research. You get the ability to quickly pivot between different conditions or drugs to see how far a therapy has progressed without ever leaving your workspace. You can pull full study protocols to check eligibility criteria or enrollment targets, making it a high-speed way to navigate the complexities of the NIH database. ## Tools ### find_recruiting_trials Find clinical trials that are actively recruiting participants for a specific medical condition. This helps patients and providers identify immediate enrollment opportunities. ### get_trial_details Retrieve full details of a specific clinical trial by its NCT identifier. This allows you to see exact eligibility criteria and sponsor information. ### search_clinical_trials Search the ClinicalTrials.gov database for studies by keyword, condition, drug name, or sponsor. You can also filter by recruitment status and trial phase. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Are there any trials for Alzheimer's? ``` **Response:** ``` I found several actively recruiting Alzheimer's trials. For example, NCT07011745 is a Phase 3 randomized trial with 352 targeted participants, testing a new therapeutic approach. There are also Phase 2 studies exploring disease-modifying therapies. Want me to pull the full details on any of these? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Show me Phase 3 trials related to breast cancer treatment. ``` **Response:** ``` Here are the Phase 3 breast cancer trials I found. The results include large-scale multi-center studies testing new combination therapies and immunotherapy approaches. Each listing shows the sponsor, enrollment target, and current recruitment status so you can see which ones are still open for participation. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Get me the full details for trial NCT04280705. ``` **Response:** ``` Here is the complete profile for NCT04280705. The study summary, eligibility criteria, interventions being tested, and enrollment timeline are all included. The trial is sponsored by a major research institution and has multiple collaborating partners. ``` ## Capabilities ### Find active enrollment opportunities Identify clinical trials currently recruiting new participants for specific medical conditions. ### Pull full study protocols Retrieve complete study details including eligibility criteria and enrollment targets. ### Filter research by sponsor or keyword Narrow down results by specific drugs, sponsors, or general research keywords. ### Identify trial phases Quickly see which phase of testing a specific therapy has reached. ### Track eligibility criteria Get exact details on who can participate in a specific registered study. ## Use Cases ### Finding trials for Alzheimer's A patient advocate asks for trials for Alzheimer's. The agent uses `find_recruiting_trials` to list active studies and summaries. ### Competitive drug analysis A researcher wants to see the pipeline for a specific drug. The agent uses `search_clinical_trials` to find all relevant studies. ### NCT ID verification An analyst needs to verify the details of a specific study. The agent uses `get_trial_details` to pull the full protocol for a specific NCT ID. ### Recruitment status checks A healthcare provider needs to see if a trial is still enrolling. The agent uses `find_recruiting_trials` to filter for active status. ## Benefits - Stop manual searching: Use `search_clinical_trials` to find specific drugs or sponsors in seconds. - Get precise data: Use `get_trial_details` to see exact eligibility criteria and enrollment targets. - Find active leads: Use `find_recruiting_trials` to identify trials currently enrolling patients. - Analyze phases: Quickly filter studies by phase to see how far a therapy has progressed. - Stay updated: Pull the latest data from the National Library of Medicine without opening new tabs. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get direct access to the NIH's clinical research database without leaving your chat interface. 1. Connect your AI client to the ClinicalTrials.gov MCP through the Vinkius catalog. 2. Ask a natural language question about a specific medical condition, drug, or sponsor. 3. Receive a list of relevant trials with specific details like NCT IDs and recruitment status. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Is ClinicalTrials.gov MCP for public data?** Yes, this Connector connects to the public registry maintained by the National Institutes of Health.
