Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Openfda MCP Server holds up.
gate scanned 14 tools on Sep 18, 2026 for prompt injection and risky tool definitions — nothing to flag.
Operated by Openfda MCP Server (caseyjhand.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If Openfda MCP Server adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose Openfda MCP Server in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Openfda MCP Server's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.
