`fda_search`

Pack: fda-regulations · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/fda-regulations/mcp

Keyword search across FDA regulations — US Food & Drug Administration rules in 21 CFR. Answers “what FDA regulations cover X”, “the FDA regulation / rule about X”, “find the FDA requirement for X”. Great for topics: good manufacturing practice (GMP / cGMP), quality system regulation, medical device labeling, drug labeling, nutrition facts / food labeling, new drug applications, dietary supplements, cosmetics, biologics, controlled substances, current good manufacturing practice for drugs and devices. Returns matching FDA regulations with citation (21 CFR), heading, excerpt, and source URL. This searches FDA REGULATIONS (regulatory text); for FDA DATA (drug labels, adverse events, recalls) use the openfda tools. Example: fda_search({ query: “medical device labeling” }); fda_search({ query: “good manufacturing practice”, limit: 15 }). Keyless.
