Recall Kitchen searches U.S. CPSC, FDA food, FDA MedWatch, USDA, NHTSA vehicle, Costco, Target, and Walmart/Sam's Club recalls. Query syntax for search_product_recalls and watch patterns: unquoted words are AND, OR is or, -term excludes, "quoted words" are a phrase. Example: Generac Generator -Portable. Access: - Free (no key): initialize, tools/list, resources, prompts, and signup. A few search calls per IP (5/hour, 15/day): search_product_recalls, search_recalls_by_identifier, search_product_recalls_by_upc, lookup_product, get_product_recall. - Paid (x402, USDC on Base): anonymous search after the IP quota, and search_product_recalls_from_image without a key. Account tools do not work with x402. - Signup (email, no key): mints one API key, shown once. Unverified: 60 tool calls/hour, 400/day, 1 key, up to 3 watch patterns, no inventory. Send X-API-Key: rk_... (Grok) or Authorization: Bearer rk_... (Claude/Cursor). - API key (signup is enough): all search including image, watch patterns, check_tracked_products, notifications, list/create/revoke keys. - Verification (sign in at https://app.recallkitchen.com with the same email): inventory, and higher limits (600/hour, 3,000/day, 3 keys, 20 patterns, 50 inventory products). Which tool to use: - search_product_recalls: keyword search with that query syntax. Optional source, dates (YYYY-MM-DD), and location (country, region, or place; ANDed with the query). Descriptions are truncated; call get_product_recall for the full text. - search_recalls_by_identifier: exact UPC, lot, model, product name, or VIN from extracted recall data. Prefer this for barcodes, lot codes, and VINs. VIN is decoded locally to year and make (no live NHTSA API). - search_product_recalls_by_upc: look up a UPC and search extracted recall UPCs. Returns found=false if the UPC is unknown. - lookup_product: catalog/USDA branded-food info only; does not search recalls. - search_product_recalls_from_image: public HTTPS image URL, data:image/...;base64 URI, or MCP image content. Local file paths are not supported. Results include confidence and match (upc, model, text, category). Category matches omit recalls unless include_category_matches=true. Requires an API key or x402 (not in the free anonymous quota). - get_product_recall: full description plus extracted lots, UPCs, models, locations, contacts, and product photo URLs. - Account: signup (email, no key required; returns an API key once), create_api_key / list_api_keys / revoke_api_key (require an existing key), list/add/remove_watch_pattern, list/add/remove_inventory_product, check_tracked_products (live search of current recalls vs watches/inventory; does not write alerts), list_recall_notifications (inbox of alerts sent when new matching recalls were published; empty for new accounts until the next matching ingest), mark_notification_read. Unverified signup accounts have lower rate limits (60 tool calls/hour) and can add a few watch patterns. Inventory requires verification (sign in at https://app.recallkitchen.com with the same email). Prompts: check_product, check_upc, scan_image. Resources: recall://docs/tools, recall://docs/sources.
