Cpsc Recalls Mcp Server

cyanheads/cpsc-recalls-mcp-server

Connects Claude to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's public recalls API with three focused tools: keyword search across products, brands, and retailers with optional date filters; full recall detail by recall number including hazards, remedies, and UPC codes; and a configurable recent recalls feed. Built on the mcp-ts-core framework with both stdio and streamable HTTP transports. Useful when you need to check if a consumer product has been recalled, surface safety issues for specific brands or importers, or monitor new CPSC actions. Jurisdiction is consumer products only, so food, vehicles, boats, and drugs are out of scope. No API key required since the CPSC endpoint is public.
