# io.github.cyanheads/clinicaltrialsgov-mcp-server

Search ClinicalTrials.gov — find studies, retrieve results, match patients to eligible trials.

The current version, v2.9.2, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-08-21. It is distributed as clinicaltrialsgov-mcp-server on npm and as a hosted remote over streamable-http, filed under Search by this index, and declares 8 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; [the index's current counts](/stats) put this record in context.

## Using io.github.cyanheads/clinicaltrialsgov-mcp-server in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed?

MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and **HOLDs the call** when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use **Install this server** for that).

Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less

```
uv tool install mcpindex-gate && mcpindex-config-wire
```

Semantic screen found no manipulation pattern in the description. Conformance probe not yet run.

- - Semantic screen only - the deterministic conformance probe has not run on this server
- - Confidence is reported but not yet calibrated (v1)
- - Screen reads the tool description, not the live behavior
- - advisory
- - registry description only no input schema
- - screen model 8b
- - Still current: the description we screened is unchanged, re-checked against the registry
- - The registry listing (version, packages, links) changed after this screen ran - the description we assessed did not

Semantic screen: an LLM judge reads the tool description for hidden instructions (status PARTIAL). A pass means the description is not lying, not that the tool is safe: a high-capability tool with an honest description still warrants caution. The deterministic conformance probe has not been run on this server yet, so the screen here is semantic-only. Posture: advisory. Confidences are reported but not yet calibrated (calibrated=false at v1). Full verdict history is not shown on this page.

## That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-08-21).

Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins io.github.cyanheads/clinicaltrialsgov-mcp-server’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

People vet a server before wiring it in. One line on your project site or docs answers that with an independent record: screening verdict, registry provenance, contract drift history. It stays current as new screens and drift events land.
