What is the Cpsc MCP server?

Connect Cpsc to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. US consumer product recalls from the CPSC — hazards, remedies, and affected products. The cpsc mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

  • Declarative tool definitions — single file per tool, framework handles registration and validation
  • Unified error handling — handlers throw, framework catches, classifies, and formats
  • Pluggable auth: none, jwt, oauth
  • Swappable storage backends: in-memory, filesystem, Supabase, Cloudflare KV/R2/D1
  • Structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing
  • STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports

Installation

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • cpsc_search_recalls — Search consumer product recalls by title, product name, brand, retailer, importer, distributor, hazard, remedy, or description keyword, with optional
  • cpsc_get_recall — Full detail for a single recall by recall number — hazards, remedy, products, injuries, images, and the official CPSC page
  • cpsc_get_recent — Fetch the most recent recalls ordered newest-first, scoped to a configurable date window
  • Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server
  • Installation — The Installation tool exposed by this server

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE, MCP_LOG_LEVEL, MCP_HTTP_HOST, MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH, MCP_PUBLIC_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

  • Bun v1.3.0 or higher (or Node.js v24+). - No API key required — the CPSC public recalls API is freely accessible.

Worth knowing first

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

Plenty of knowledge and memory servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Cpsc's toolset — cpsc_search_recalls, cpsc_get_recall, cpsc_get_recent and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by cyanheads; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Cpsc to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 5 tools (cpsc_search_recalls, cpsc_get_recall, cpsc_get_recent, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Cpsc directly.
