Windsurf FDA Data MCP fda_search_recall_text

How to: Windsurf FDA Data MCP fda_search_recall_text

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http tool:fda_search_recall_text

Add FDA Data MCP to Windsurf

01
Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fda-data": {
      "serverUrl": "https://www.regdatalab.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

02
Save the file and restart Windsurf.
03
Ask for something fda_search_recall_text does. Windsurf lists the server's tools on connect and calls fda_search_recall_text itself — you do not invoke it by name.
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that FDA Data MCP's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Global only — Windsurf has no per-project MCP config. Refresh Cascade after saving. Windsurf docs

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
