Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose Clinicaltrialsgov MCP Server when
You need dedicated capabilities in the Biology, Medicine and Bioinformatics domain.
You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
You want tools like clinicaltrials_search_studies, clinicaltrials_get_study_record, clinicaltrials_get_study_count.
clinicaltrials_search_studiesSearch studies with full-text and field-specific queries, status/phase/geographic filters, pagination, sorting, and field selection
clinicaltrials_get_study_recordFetch a single study by NCT ID — full protocol record with optional location/outcome/reference caps
clinicaltrials_get_study_countFast total study count for a query, without fetching data
clinicaltrials_get_field_valuesDiscover valid values for API fields, with per-value study counts
clinicaltrials_get_field_definitionsResolve valid field names — keyword search, path drill-down, or top-level overview
clinicaltrials_find_eligibleMatch patient demographics and conditions to candidate recruiting trials, without checking inclusion/exclusion criteria
Dicomweb MCP Server tools 9
find-studiesSearches DICOM studies on the configured DICOMweb server. Results are sorted by study date, newest first.
find-seriesSearches DICOM series within a single study. Results are sorted by series date, newest first.
find-instancesSearches DICOM instances within a single series. Results are sorted by Instance Number ascending.
find-encapsulated-pdf-reportsFinds all Encapsulated PDF instances in a study by looking for DOC-modality series and filtering by the Encapsulated PDF SOP Class UID (`1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.104.1`).
get-encapsulated-pdf-report-textRetrieves an Encapsulated PDF DICOM instance and extracts its text content.
find-structured-reportsFinds all Structured Report (SR) instances in a study by looking for SR-modality series and filtering by known SR SOP Class UIDs.
get-structured-report-textRetrieves a Structured Report instance and converts it to human-readable text.
get-instance-metadataRetrieves and formats all DICOM attributes of a single instance as human-readable text. Does not retrieve pixel data.
render-instance-frameRenders a specific frame from a DICOM instance and returns it as an inline image (JPEG or PNG).
Ready-to-paste client configs
Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
Clinicaltrialsgov MCP Server is categorized under Biology, Medicine and Bioinformatics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Dicomweb MCP Server belongs to Biology, Medicine and Bioinformatics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Clinicaltrialsgov MCP Server for biology, medicine and bioinformatics work and Dicomweb MCP Server for biology, medicine and bioinformatics.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Clinicaltrialsgov MCP Server has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Dicomweb MCP Server is listed as free. Auth: other. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add clinicaltrialsgov-mcp-server and pantelisgeorgiadis-dicomweb-mcp-server as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
