Openfda Mcp Server

Overview

Openfda Mcp Server lets you query FDA data on drugs, food, devices, and recalls via the openFDA API. Any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call its tools directly—the model decides when to use them during a conversation or agent run. It supports both STDIO and Streamable HTTP transport modes.

Run it two ways: connect to the hosted endpoint at https://openfda.caseyjhand.com/mcp with no setup, or install locally via npx -y @cyanheads/openfda-mcp-server on your machine. You'll need to set the MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE environment variable and provide an API Key. Version v0.7.4 is available now under the Apache-2.0 license, with source code at cyanheads/openfda-mcp-server on GitHub.

Openfda Mcp Server is listed in the Memory category and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others. If you maintain this server for cyanheads, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep details up to date.
