## MCP tools (7)

### `vet_adverse_events` (~327 tokens)

Search FDA (openFDA Center for Veterinary Medicine) reports of side effects/adverse events in animals given a veterinary drug or parasite preventive — dogs, cats, horses, cattle. Answers "what side effects has Bravecto caused in dogs", "adverse events for fluralaner in cats", "has anyone reported seizures after ivermectin in dogs". Pass a brand/product name via "drug" OR a chemical active ingredient via "active_ingredient" (either works — the tool resolves brand names against the ingredient field, since that is where product names are actually recorded upstream). Reports are spontaneous submissions, not a validated causal or incidence study.

Input parameters:

- `active_ingredient` (string): Chemical active ingredient, e.g. "fluralaner", "ivermectin", "moxidectin". Use this OR "drug".
- `breed` (string): Optional: filter to a breed, e.g. "German Shepherd", "Labrador".
- `drug` (string): Brand/product name, e.g. "Bravecto", "Frontline", "Heartgard".
- `limit` (number): Max reports to return (1-50, default 10).
- `reaction` (string): Optional: filter to a specific reaction/symptom, e.g. "vomiting", "seizure", "lethargy".
- `since` (string): Optional: only reports received on/after this date, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `species` (string, required): Animal species: Dog, Cat, Horse, Cattle, Swine, etc. Case-insensitive.

### `vet_adverse_event_summary` (~182 tokens)

Count FDA (openFDA Center for Veterinary Medicine) animal adverse-event reports for a drug/species pair, broken down by reaction (top 20), outcome (recovered/died/euthanized/ongoing), and by year. Answers "how many adverse events for Bravecto in dogs", "what are the most common side effects of fluralaner", "has fluralaner caused deaths in dogs". Pass a brand/product name via "drug" OR a chemical active ingredient via "active_ingredient".

Input parameters:

- `active_ingredient` (string): Chemical active ingredient, e.g. "fluralaner". Use this OR "drug".
- `drug` (string): Brand/product name, e.g. "Bravecto".
- `species` (string, required): Animal species: Dog, Cat, Horse, Cattle, Swine, etc.

### `vet_product_recalls` (~259 tokens)

Search FDA Enforcement Report recalls for a pet food, animal food, or veterinary drug product or manufacturer. Answers "has Blue Buffalo dog food been recalled", "dog food recalls", "veterinary drug recalls". Source: openFDA food/enforcement.json and drug/enforcement.json — there is no dedicated animal-food recall feed, and coverage of pet-food recalls specifically is uneven (some well-known FDA-confirmed pet-food recalls are not in this dataset at all). A zero-result answer means no FDA Enforcement Report record was found under this name, not that the product was never recalled — check fda.gov/animal-veterinary/safety-health/recalls-withdrawals for the fuller picture the tool states this in its response.

Input parameters:

- `kind` (string): Which FDA enforcement dataset to search: "food" (pet/animal food, default) or "drug" (veterinary drugs).
- `limit` (number): Max recalls to return (1-50, default 10).
- `lot` (string): Optional: filter to recalls whose lot/code info mentions this lot number.
- `product` (string, required): Product name, brand, or manufacturer, e.g. "dog food", "Blue Buffalo", "Bravecto".

### `animal_drug_search` (~532 tokens)

Search FDA-APPROVED animal drugs — the FDA Green Book (Animal Drugs @ FDA), the official list of approved new animal drug applications. Answers "what FDA-approved drugs contain carprofen", "what drugs are approved for dogs", "what is approved for osteoarthritis in dogs", "what animal drugs does Zoetis market", "which animal drugs have been withdrawn". This is APPROVAL status, not adverse events (see vet_adverse_events) and not recalls (see vet_product_recalls). Pass free text via "query", OR one or more of the structured filters — see the note on "query" for why they do not combine.

Input parameters:

- `active_ingredient` (string): Chemical active ingredient, e.g. "Carprofen", "Meloxicam", "Fluralaner".
- `application_number` (string): NADA/ANADA application number, e.g. "141053".
- `brand_name` (string): Proprietary/brand name, e.g. "Rimadyl", "Metacam".
- `dose_form` (string): Dose form, e.g. "Caplet", "Injectable Solution", "Chewable Tablet".
- `indication` (string): What the drug is approved to treat, e.g. "osteoarthritis", "postoperative pain", "heartworm".
- `limit` (number): Rows per page (1-100, default 20).
- `page` (number): Page number, 1-based (default 1).
- `query` (string): Free-text search across the Green Book, e.g. "carprofen", "Rimadyl", "flea". Upstream ignores free text whenever a structured filter is also sent, so when you combine them this tool resolves "query"…
- `route` (string): Route of administration, e.g. "Oral", "Intravenous", "Topical".
- `species` (string): Species the drug is approved for, e.g. "Dogs", "Cats", "Horses", "Cattle". Upstream uses plurals.
- `sponsor` (string): Sponsor/manufacturer, e.g. "Zoetis", "Boehringer Ingelheim", "Merck".
- `status` (string): Approval status: "Approved", "Voluntary Withdrawn", "Granted", "Revoked" (or the raw code A/W/G/R).

### `animal_drug_detail` (~160 tokens)

Full FDA Green Book detail for one approved animal drug application, by application_id (from animal_drug_search). Returns the sponsor, every marketed product under the application with its species, dose form, route, strength and approved dosage/indications, plus the FOI approval summaries — FDA's own plain-English statement of what each original approval and supplement was FOR, with a PDF link. Answers "what was Rimadyl approved for", "what does application 141053 cover", "show me the approval history of this animal drug".

Input parameters:

- `application_id` (number, required): Green Book applicationId, e.g. 1024 (Rimadyl Caplets). Get it from animal_drug_search — this is NOT the NADA application number.

### `animal_drug_monthly_updates` (~120 tokens)

List the FDA Green Book monthly update publications — the monthly PDF index of what changed in the approved-animal-drug list (new approvals, withdrawals, sponsor/labelling changes). Answers "what animal drug approvals changed recently", "give me the latest Green Book update". Returns year, month and a direct PDF URL per issue.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Max issues to return, newest first (1-120, default 12).
- `year` (number): Optional: only this publication year, e.g. 2026.

### `pet_services_near` (~176 tokens)

Find veterinary clinics, emergency vets, dog parks, pet stores, or animal shelters near a place, via OpenStreetMap. Answers "emergency vet near Austin TX", "dog parks near me", "pet stores in Denver", "animal shelters near Chicago". Pass a place name (city, address, or landmark) — it is geocoded automatically.

Input parameters:

- `kind` (string): One of: vet, emergency_vet, dog_park, pet_store, shelter. Default vet.
- `limit` (number): Max results (1-50, default 20).
- `place` (string, required): Place name to search near, e.g. "Austin TX", "Portland OR", "downtown Denver".
- `radius_km` (number): Search radius in kilometres (1-50, default 10).

## Common questions

### What is the Veterinary Fda MCP server?

Veterinary Fda is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/veterinary-fda. Veterinary FDA MCP, openFDA Animal & Veterinary adverse events, pet/animal food & drug recalls… This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-veterinary-fda).

### Is the Veterinary Fda MCP server safe to use?

Veterinary Fda scores 79 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Veterinary Fda MCP server expose?

Veterinary Fda exposes 7 tools: vet_adverse_events, vet_adverse_event_summary, vet_product_recalls, animal_drug_search, animal_drug_detail, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,756 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Veterinary Fda MCP server still maintained?

Veterinary Fda is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Veterinary Fda MCP server under?

Veterinary Fda declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Veterinary Fda MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 15 checks on Veterinary Fda, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 11 more. One item could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about Veterinary Fda: Stability. One category scores 0 for that reason, because we only credit what we can confirm. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
