Connects Claude to the US Food and Drug Administration's public API without requiring authentication. The server runs through Pipeworx's gateway infrastructure, which aggregates 250+ data sources into MCP endpoints. You get access to FDA databases covering drug approvals, recalls, adverse events, and food enforcement reports. The ask_pipeworx feature lets you query in natural language instead of calling specific tools directly. Useful when you need regulatory data for healthcare applications, compliance research, or tracking pharmaceutical product information. Free tier available, and you can either use the dedicated FDA endpoint or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for broader data access across all their supported APIs.
FDA MCP — US Food and Drug Administration public API (free, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"fda": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/fda/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Fda data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
