PlainRecords MCP

This MCP server allows AI assistants to query U.S. government recall data from the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA, and USDA. It supports searching for recalls by product, brand, or hazard, checking vehicle recalls and owner complaints, finding drug shortages, and identifying tap water violations by ZIP code. The data is sourced directly from public government records and updated daily.
