Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 874 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name cpsc-recalls-mcp-server.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 3 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 874 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 874 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    19 of 19 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Not measured
    Website matches publisher

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Pass
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner matches the namespace login.

  • Pass

cpsc_get_recall

Fetch the full record for one CPSC recall by recall number: hazard description, remedy instructions, every product variant, UPCs, incident and injury reports, images, and the official CPSC recall page URL. Get a recall number from cpsc_search_recalls or cpsc_get_recent. CPSC jurisdiction: consumer products, including child-resistant packaging for drugs and supplements, ATVs and snowmobiles, bicycle tires, and gun safes and locks; food and drugs (FDA), on-road vehicles and their tires (NHTSA), boats (USCG), pesticides (EPA), and firearms (ATF) belong to other agencies.

Discovered
cpsc_get_recent

Fetch the most recent CPSC consumer product recalls, newest-first, from a window of the last N days (default 30, up to 365). Use for "what's been recalled lately?" or a product safety feed; to find recalls by product, brand, hazard, or an older date range, use cpsc_search_recalls. Page past limit with offset: narrowing days cannot page, because the window is anchored to today and shrinking it drops the oldest recalls rather than advancing past the newest. A page returns fewer than limit recalls when it reaches the 64,000-byte response size budget; has_more and the notice give the offset to continue from. Pass a recall_number to cpsc_get_recall for the full record. CPSC jurisdiction: consumer products, including child-resistant packaging for drugs and supplements, ATVs and snowmobiles, bicycle tires, and gun safes and locks; food and drugs (FDA), on-road vehicles and their tires (NHTSA), boats (USCG), pesticides (EPA), and firearms (ATF) belong to other agencies.

cpsc_search_recalls

Search consumer product recalls from the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) — toys, electronics, furniture, appliances, children's products, tools, and clothing. Give at least one text filter or date bound; to browse the latest recalls without one, use cpsc_get_recent. Filters combine with AND, and a text filter matches records whose field contains every one of its words, in any order — each word as a case-insensitive substring with no stemming, so "fire" also matches fireworks and "battery" misses batteries; search a stem instead ("batter" finds battery and batteries). Start with title_search when you have a product in hand — CPSC titles carry the brand, product, and hazard phrasing. For hazard types ("fire", "choking", "burn"), use hazard_search, which matches hazard descriptions, product names, and remedy instructions. When manufacturer finds nothing, try importer, retailer, or distributor: many recalls name one of those as the responsible company. Page past limit with offset — total_found counts every match and has_more says whether more remain; a page returns fewer than limit recalls when it reaches the 64,000-byte response size budget. Pass a recall_number to cpsc_get_recall for the full record, including the complete description, all images, and incident reports.
