Sourcelane

Product Recall & Safety Alert Aggregator

News & Research

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

Normalize official US CPSC consumer-product and FDA food/drug recall notices.

Read full description

Aggregates US product recall and food safety alerts from official government feeds (CPSC and FDA) and normalizes each notice into a unified, structured record. The connector combines official recall/enforcement sources into a consistent schema and produces one record per recall that captures the official source and recall identifier, the product title and descriptive reason, the recalling firm or manufacturer, the individual products named in the notice, the hazard description and recommended consumer remedy, the recall date and country, and a link back to the official notice. It supports filtered retrieval by product, brand, or manufacturer and by date window, and can run deterministic sample mode for testing; intended for building searchable, normalized recall histories and focused alert queries across both agencies.

  1. 1Click Add to Claude — claude.ai opens with Sourcelane filled in
  2. 2Click Continue to confirm — it then works in Claude desktop and mobile too
Manual setup (config files, REST, Python) +

Claude Code

Adds the Sourcelane MCP server with your key as a header.

terminal
claude mcp add --transport http sourcelane https://api.usesourcelane.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer sl_live_your_agent_key"

Claude Desktop (config file)

Alternative to the connector URL: add to claude_desktop_config.json, then restart Claude.

claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sourcelane": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
