FDA Dashboard: Inspections + Citations

8 min read

RegDataLab 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.
