Recall Kitchen tools (20, 4 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • add_inventory_productFree

  • add_watch_patternFree

    Add a recall watch pattern for this API key. Same websearch syntax as search_product_recalls (AND, OR, -exclude, quoted phrases). Requires an API key.

  • check_tracked_productsFree

    Check this API key's watch patterns and inventory against current indexed recalls (including historical notices). Does not create notifications. Generic patterns such as food or hazard only match in titles. Requires an API key.

  • create_api_keywrite actionFree

    Create an additional API key for this account. Requires an existing API key. Unverified accounts may have only one key; verified accounts may have three. Usage is counted per account, not per key.

    Get a recall by id, including extracted lots, UPCs, model numbers, locations, contact info, and product photo URLs

  • give_feedbackFree

    Report a bug, missing capability, bad search result, or confusing schema to the Recall Kitchen team. Use this instead of silently working around a problem. message is required and should include the MCP tool names you called, the actions you took, the query or identifiers, and any recall_id. Do not send API keys, photos, or PII. Optional category: bad_result, tool_error, missing_capability, confusing_schema, docs, other. Optional severity: blocked, workaround, annoyance. No API key or x402 required. Does not count against search quotas.

    List this API key's tracked inventory products. Requires an API key.

  • list_recall_notificationsFree

    List recall notifications for this API key. unread defaults to true (unread only); pass false for all. Empty for new accounts until a new matching recall is published; not a backfill of check_tracked_products. message is a short plain-text summary. Requires an API key.

  • list_watch_patternsFree

    List this API key's recall watch patterns. Requires an API key.

  • lookup_productFree

    Look up a product by UPC/EAN. Returns found=false when unknown. Does not search recalls.

  • revoke_api_keyFree

    Revoke an API key by key_id from list_api_keys. Requires an API key. Revoking the current key will fail subsequent calls.

  • search_product_recallsFree

    Search product recalls by query. Query uses websearch syntax: unquoted words are AND, OR is or, -term excludes, quoted phrases match as a unit (example: Generac Generator -Portable). Optional filters: source (cpsc, fdafoodsafety, FDAMedWatch, usda, nhtsa, canada, costco, target, walmart, openfda), since/until (YYYY-MM-DD), location (country, region, or place, ANDed with the query), offset, limit. Descriptions are truncated and extracted products are capped; use get_product_recall for the full text.

  • search_product_recalls_by_upcFree

    Search recalls by UPC/EAN or a barcode image URL/data URI/MCP image content. Matches extracted recall UPCs first. Returns found=false when the UPC is unknown.

  • search_product_recalls_from_imageFree

    Identify products in a public HTTPS image URL, data:image/...;base64 URI, or MCP image content part. Local files are not supported. Each product includes match (upc, model, text, category) and confidence. Category matches omit recalls unless include_category_matches=true. Requires an API key or x402; not included in the free anonymous per-IP quota.

  • search_recalls_by_identifierFree

    Search recalls by extracted UPC, lot code, model number, product name, or VIN. VIN is decoded locally to year and make and matched against NHTSA campaigns (not a live NHTSA VIN API). Multiple identifiers are AND-matched on the same product.

  • signupwrite actionFree

    Create a Recall Kitchen account and API key from an email. No API key or x402 payment required. Requires accept_terms true (Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and API Terms at https://recallkitchen.com/terms and https://recallkitchen.com/api-terms). The key is returned once. Unverified accounts have lower rate limits (60 tool calls/hour, 400/day, one key) and can add a few watch patterns. Sign in at https://app.recallkitchen.com with the same email to verify, raise limits, and add inventory. Does not re-issue a key if the email already has an account.

What the publisher says

From the Recall Kitchen repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

rk-mcp

Go client and examples for Recall Kitchen MCP.

Recall Kitchen searches U.S. CPSC, FDA food, FDA MedWatch, USDA, and NHTSA vehicle recalls.

Hosted MCP

Public streamable HTTP: https://app.recallkitchen.com/mcp. Client config: .mcp.json. Docs: recallkitchen.com/docs.

  • Free with API key — mint a key via MCP signup or Integrations. Send X-API-Key: rk... (required for Grok) or Authorization: Bearer rk... (Claude/Cursor). Env placeholder: RECALLKITCHENAPI_KEY.
  • Anonymous x402 — USDC on Base at $0.025/call, no signup.
  • Account tools (watches, inventory, notifications) need a key.
  • Rate limits — about 60 tool calls/hour unverified vs about 600/hour after verified sign-in at app.recallkitchen.com.

Local: http://localhost:8080/mcp. Server card: https://app.recallkitchen.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.

Tool reference: recallkitchen.com/docs/#mcp. Implementation notes: docs/mcp.md.

Auth

Two ways to call tools:

  1. API key (recommended) — free, higher limits. Create a key in the app under Integrations. Send X-API-Key: rk... (required for Grok) or Authorization: Bearer rk... (Claude Code, Cursor).
  2. x402 — anonymous USDC on Base (~$0.025 / call). Set X402EVMPRIVATE_KEY. Watch, inventory, and notification tools still need an API key.

Grok's HTTP MCP client treats Authorization: Bearer as OAuth. Use X-API-Key for Grok.

# ~/.grok/config.toml
[mcp_servers.recall-kitchen]
url = "https://app.recallkitchen.com/mcp"
enabled = true

[mcp_servers.recall-kitchen.headers]
X-API-Key = "rk_..."
export RK_API_KEY=rk_...

Tools

Public (API key or x402)

Search results truncate descriptions and cap extracted products at 5. Call getproductrecall for the full notice.

location is ANDed with the query. CA matches California / "northern california". United States matches U.S. notices, not Canada/Ontario.

Account (API key required)

listwatchpatterns, addwatchpattern, removewatchpattern, listinventory, addinventoryproduct, removeinventoryproduct, checktrackedproducts, listrecall_notifications.

Watch patterns use the same syntax as the search box: words are AND, OR is or, -term excludes, "quoted phrase" is a phrase.

Prompts: checkproduct, checkupc, scanimage, checkvin. Resources: recall://docs/tools, recall://docs/sources.

Go client

cc, err := rkmcp.NewClient(rkmcp.Config{
    ServerURL: "https://app.recallkitchen.com/mcp",
    APIKey:    os.Getenv("RK_API_KEY"),
})
recalls, err := cc.SearchProductRecalls(ctx, "contamination", 3)
detail, err := cc.GetProductRecall(ctx, recalls[0].ID)
hits, err := cc.SearchRecallsByIdentifier(ctx, rkmcp.IdentifierOptions{LotCode: "I31C"})
