Pack: ftc-enforcement · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/ftc_search_cases for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search FTC (Federal Trade Commission) enforcement cases and proceedings by company name, individual name, case/matter number, or keyword, with optional date range, merger-vs-non-merger filter, and case-status filter. Covers both competition (antitrust/merger) and consumer-protection enforcement — complaints, consent orders, settlements, and federal-court actions. Returns each matching case’s title, FTC slug (pass to ftc_case_detail for documents), type of action, case status, and last-updated date. Example: ftc_search_cases({ query: “Kroger”, category: “merger” }).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	no	Company name, individual name, case/matter number, or keyword. Omit to browse all cases (combine with category/status/dates).
`category`	string	no	Restrict to merger enforcement, non-merger (conduct) enforcement, or both (“any”, the default).
`status`	string	no	Restrict to cases in this status. Omit for any status.
`start_date`	string	no	Earliest “last updated” date to include, YYYY-MM-DD.
`end_date`	string	no	Latest “last updated” date to include, YYYY-MM-DD.
