A Medical Research Agent Built with BioMCP and Haystack

Hacker News

I created a simple app to explore how Agents & MCP can help with medical research. It connects to ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed/PubTator, and MyVariant.info using the BioMCP Server( https://github.com/genomoncology/biomcp ), and uses Haystack( https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack ) as the MCP Client. The idea is to let users ask natural-language questions like: - Are there new studies on treating acne? - What trials exist for migraine prevention? - Show me trials for managing hay fever symptoms - What are some ongoing trails for never-smokers with lung cancer? If you’re curious, here are the links: - MedOryx App: https://med-oryx.streamlit.app - MedOryx GitHub: https://github.com/oryx1729/med-oryx Would love any feedback or thoughts.
