Instant Recall Checks in Chat

The `search_recalls` tool lets you query the official CPSC database. Ask Claude about a product, and it pulls recall information directly into your conversation. You don't have to switch to a browser and dig through government websites anymore. This is for quick checks on things you own or are thinking about buying. Since Claude Desktop can access this MCP Server, you get the answers formatted cleanly, right where you're working. It's just a faster way to get the data you need.

Build Safety Reports with Claude Desktop

Use `search_recalls` to gather data for a report. You can ask Claude to find all recalls for a specific manufacturer or hazard type. The agent will run the searches and compile the results for you. Because you're in Claude, you can then ask it to format that data into a table, a summary, or even a draft email. It turns a research task into a simple conversation.

Simple Setup, Public Data

The `search_recalls` tool connects to a public CPSC API. That means there's no authentication to deal with. It just works. In Claude Web, you just paste the MCP Server URL into the Custom Connectors settings. For the desktop app, a quick config file edit connects you. Either way, you're set up in under a minute.
