# AgingResearch.News MCP server

<img src="https://agingresearch.news/logo.png" alt="AgingResearch.News" width="96" height="96">

Every new aging paper, read the minute it lands and judged on what its own work shows. Ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client about a drug, a gene, an aging clock or a trial, and get answers that cite the papers.

## Add it

Paste this address into your client as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP):

```text
https://agingresearch.news/api/mcp
```

Lookups work without an account, up to a daily number. Sign in with a free AgingResearch.News account to follow topics and ask your own questions.

Steps for each client: [agingresearch.news/connect](https://agingresearch.news/s/f7623w) · Every tool and its arguments: [developer docs](https://agingresearch.news/s/yq2dkg)

**Claude Code**

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http agingresearch-news https://agingresearch.news/api/mcp
```

**VS Code** (`.vscode/mcp.json`)

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "agingresearch-news": { "type": "http", "url": "https://agingresearch.news/api/mcp" }
  }
}
```

**Cursor** (`~/.cursor/mcp.json`)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agingresearch-news": { "url": "https://agingresearch.news/api/mcp" }
  }
}
```

## Ask it

- "What human evidence is there for rapamycin in aging? Keep animal and human studies apart and list the findings against."
- "Find this month's papers on cellular senescence in pulmonary fibrosis, with a link to each paper."
- "Which senolytic drugs are in clinical trials, and which trials have posted results?"
- "Who funds work on epigenetic clocks, and how much?"

Then say "Follow cellular senescence for me", and its new papers reach your For you feed and a daily email.

## What it covers

- Papers from PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv and Europe PMC, each with its study type (human trial, human observational, animal, cells, in silico, review) and whether it is a preprint.
- Plain-language stories on the papers worth reading.
- Drugs, supplements, genes, biological processes, diseases and biomarkers, with their findings, contrary findings and replication across labs.
- Clinical trials, research grants (NIH, the EU, UKRI and Wellcome), conferences and their abstracts, drug and therapy programs in development, and the field's news.
