Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Harvard ClinicalTrials tools. Connect 16 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Harvard ClinicalTrials in AutoGen
The Harvard ClinicalTrials MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 16 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in AutoGen only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
Harvard ClinicalTrials for AutoGen
Every tool call from AutoGen to the Harvard ClinicalTrials MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No. ClinicalTrials.gov is completely free and public. No authentication required.
What are clinical trial phases?
Phase 1 tests safety in small groups; Phase 2 evaluates efficacy; Phase 3 confirms effectiveness in large populations; Phase 4 monitors post-approval. Each phase provides progressively stronger evidence.
Can patients find trials to enroll in?
Yes. Use the recruiting filter to find trials currently accepting participants. You can filter by condition, location, and eligibility criteria to find accessible trials.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Harvard ClinicalTrials tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
