No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/fdic_failures for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search FDIC bank failures by date range. Returns bank name, location, CERT ID, failure date, acquiring institution, and fund type, reconciled against FDIC’s published Failed Bank List with a data_as_of date and a warning field when FDIC’s own search index is lagging.
