Medidata Connector
Anthropic-listed connector wrapping Medidata’s hosted MCP server, giving Claude two clinical-operations capabilities: querying Medidata platform documentation and predicting high-performing clinical-trial sites during protocol planning.
| Type | Claude.ai Connector / Claude Code Plugin (wraps a remote HTTP MCP server) |
| Supplier | Medidata Solutions (Dassault Systèmes) |
| Availability | GA in the anthropics/life-sciences marketplace |
| Pricing | Connector install is free; Predictive Site Ranking requires a Medidata Intelligent Trials subscription, Platform Help requires an iMedidata account |
| Capabilities | Read-only — documentation Q&A and site-ranking predictions |
How to install
- Claude Code — plugin marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/life-sciences /plugin install medidata@life-sciences - Claude Code — direct MCP add:
claude mcp add --transport http medidata https://mcp.imedidata.com/mcp - Claude.ai / Claude Desktop — add a custom connector pointing at
https://mcp.imedidata.com/mcp(Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector). Claude Desktop has no native HTTP transport, so register it via anmcp-remoteproxy:claude mcp add medidata -- npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.imedidata.com/mcp
Authenticate with your iMedidata credentials when prompted. The HTTP endpoint is a long-lived hosted service — you do not run a local process.
What it does
Two services exposed over a single hosted MCP server:
- Platform Help — queries Medidata’s Knowledge Hub documentation and FAQs for products such as Rave EDC, Data Connect, and Clinical Data Studio, so Claude can answer how-to questions about the platform and combine that with internal policies.
- Predictive Site Ranking — for Intelligent Trials customers, ranks clinical-trial sites by predicted enrollment performance during protocol/study planning, using aggregated historical operational, population/country, and standardized site data. Inputs include planned phase, indication, and study criteria; outputs include top-predicted sites, sites in the top performance percentiles, site addresses, and sites in countries of interest.
Primary use cases: Clinical-trial site-selection strategy, protocol planning, Medidata platform documentation Q&A.
Notes
HTTP transport at https://mcp.imedidata.com/mcp. Platform Help is gated behind an iMedidata login (public viewers see limited content); Predictive Site Ranking is restricted to Medidata Intelligent Trials customers. Announced as part of Anthropic’s Claude for Healthcare / Life Sciences expansion alongside new CMS and ClinicalTrials.gov connectors. Verify your institution’s Medidata entitlement before relying on the site-ranking tools.
