FDA MCP — US Food and Drug Administration public API (free, no auth)

VerifiedStreamable HTTPWeb executableWeb Search & Scraping

Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP endpoint exposing the US Food and Drug Administration public API, letting an assistant query FDA data through a hosted Pipeworx gateway.

What you can do
Query US Food and Drug Administration public data through the hosted gateway, either by calling its tools directly or by asking a plain-English question that the gateway routes to the right tool and arguments. The README's tool table is empty, so the specific tools are not documented here. The same endpoint can also be reached through the full Pipeworx gateway, which bundles many other data sources.
When to use it
Use it when an assistant needs FDA-related public information and you prefer a hosted endpoint over running a local server. It is not worth adding if you need documented tool names or offline access, since the tool list is not published.
Requirements
A remote MCP client that supports streamable HTTP, pointed at the gateway URL. No authentication, API key, environment variable or header is declared, and no local runtime or package is needed.
Before you install
The server is a third-party gateway that relays requests to the FDA API, so queries pass through Pipeworx infrastructure. The README lists no tools, so what the assistant can actually call is unverified. Connecting to the full gateway exposes many other data sources at once.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open fda in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.pipeworx-io%2Ffda/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fda": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/fda/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.

Tools

ToolDescription

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "fda": {      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/fda/mcp"    }  }}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "pipeworx": {      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"    }  }}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Fda data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
