Peptlas MCP server: is this peptide legal?
Ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client whether a peptide is legal, and it answers from Peptlas, the peptide legal status atlas. You get the status in the United States (FDA), Australia (TGA), the UK (MHRA), the EU (EMA), Canada (Health Canada), Brazil (ANVISA) and sport (WADA), with the primary source and the date it was last verified.

- Code: MIT.
- Not advice: the statuses describe the law, not safety, efficacy or dosing. Nothing here is legal or medical advice, and Peptlas recommends no products or sellers.
