FDA Dashboard: Inspections + Citations

RegDataLab Team8 min read

FDA Data MCP includes dashboard feed tools for inspections and citations. This post covers how to query them and how to link results—strictly using MCP behavior.

Tools covered

  • fda_inspections
  • fda_citations

Search inspections

mcporter call fda-data.fda_inspections company_name='Pfizer' --output json

Search citations

mcporter call fda-data.fda_citations fei_number='3002807852' --output json

Linking pattern

  • Use fei_number as the join key when present in both outputs.
  • Store tool name + parameters with results for provenance.

Fact-check checklist

  • Do not define inspection classifications unless MCP provides definitions.
  • Only mention fields visible in the MCP response schema.
