Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API Key or registration?
No. ClinicalTrials.gov is a fully public service maintained by the US National Library of Medicine. All data is accessible without any authentication.
What types of studies can I search for?
The database covers interventional trials (testing drugs, devices, procedures), observational studies, and expanded access programs. You can search across all phases, from early Phase 1 research to post-market Phase 4 surveillance.
Is the trial recruiting status updated in real time?
The data reflects what is currently published on the ClinicalTrials.gov database. Sponsors typically update the registry directly, so you will see the latest status logged in their system.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
