Recall Kitchen missed 3 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 19

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

product

get_product_recall

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

search_product_recalls

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_upc

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_image

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.

inventory

add_inventory_product

Add a product to this API key's inventory. Requires a verified account (sign in at https://app.recallkitchen.com with the signup email). Unverified signup keys cannot add inventory.

list_inventory

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

remove_inventory_product

Remove a product from this API key's inventory by id. Requires an API key.

watch

add_watch_pattern

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.

list_watch_patterns

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

remove_watch_pattern

Remove a recall watch pattern for this API key. Requires an API key.

api

create_api_key

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.

list_api_keys

List this account's API keys (id, name, prefix, created). Secrets are not shown. Requires an API key.

lookup

lookup_product

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

mark

mark_notification_read

Mark a recall notification as read (default) or unread. Requires an API key.

recall

list_recall_notifications

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.

recalls

search_recalls_by_identifier

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.

revoke

revoke_api_key

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

signup

signup

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.

tracked

check_tracked_products

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.

Recall Kitchen — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Recall Kitchen do?

It exposes 19 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add_inventory_product, add_watch_pattern, check_tracked_products, create_api_key, get_product_recall, list_api_keys and 13 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Recall Kitchen mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around product, inventory and watch. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Recall Kitchen working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 463 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Recall Kitchen?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Recall Kitchen need an API key?

No. Recall Kitchen completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 19 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Recall Kitchen?

It answers our handshake in 463 ms on average, which is faster than 34% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Recall Kitchen open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Go, 2 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
