Searches U.S. product recalls from CPSC, FDA, NHTSA and FSIS by keyword, brand, model or UPC, with paid detail and bulk UPC checks.
What you can do
Search recalls across four federal agencies by keyword, brand, model or source, sorted by recall date, and list the covered agencies with indexed counts and latest dates. Read known data-quality caveats and coverage notes, and get pricing tiers and per-call credit costs. With an API key, fetch a full unified record for one recall (hazard, remedy, manufacturer, distributor, official URL, dates) and cross-check up to 500 UPCs in one call.
When to use it
Useful when checking whether a product, brand or UPC has been recalled, or when citing U.S. recall data in research or compliance work. The free tools are enough for exploratory searches; the paid tools suit bulk UPC screening and full record retrieval.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local runtime. Free tools need no key. The paid tools check_upcs and get_recall_detail require an api_key, obtained from the provider's site.
Before you install
check_upcs and get_recall_detail are paid: credits are charged per call (10 credits per UPC checked, 2 credits per detail record), so bulk checks can spend money. The api_key is a credential and should be kept private. Recall data comes from third-party federal sources and the server itself notes known ingestion gaps and date caveats.
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/us.recalert%2Fmcp/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.
Free. Search U.S. product recalls from CPSC, FDA, NHTSA and FSIS by keyword, brand, model or source. Sorted by the real recall date. No api_key required. This is the free hook - use get_recall_detail or check_upcs for the unified/paid data.
