Best for
  • Clinical researchers
  • Healthcare professionals
  • Patient navigators
  • AI agents needing access to clinical trial data
  • Biomedical researchers
  • Clinicians
  • AI agents that need efficient access to biomedical literature and data analysis
Not for
  • Not an official source for clinical trials; it's a wrapper for ClinicalTrials.gov
  • Does not provide medical advice
  • Not suitable for use with data sources other than ClinicalTrials.gov API
  • Users needing to write to upstream databases (read-only)
  • Users requiring direct access to closed datasets (e.g., COSMIC is not directly integrated)
  • Users expecting all advanced features without API keys
Required permissions
  • No API keys required; uses the public API
  • May require network access to reach the hosted instance or install packages
  • If self-hosting, may require permissions to execute and run on your system
  • Requires internet access to query public biomedical APIs
  • Optional API keys (NCBI, Semantic Scholar, OpenFDA, etc.) to improve rate limits or unlock features
  • Local read/write access for skills, cache, and local study data (e.g., `~/.local/share/biomcp`)
Risks and side effects
  • Reliance on the ClinicalTrials.gov API, which may change or become unavailable
  • Data fetched from the API may be incomplete or outdated
  • Fuzzy matching in search may return irrelevant trials
  • Public hosted instance may be rate-limited or have privacy concerns
  • Upstream API rate limits may affect performance
  • Some data sources (e.g., KEGG) have licensing terms that restrict non-academic use
  • Features requiring API keys (e.g., OncoKB) may be incomplete without them
  • Local binary installations need regular updates for compatibility
