Summary
USDA nutrition data, with no account and no data download.
The hosted service means a food lookup works as soon as the bridge file is in place; if you would rather not depend on it, the same bridge can be aimed at a copy you run yourself. Two tools, one job: find the food, read its numbers.
What it is
A server over USDA FoodData Central, the US government's food composition database, with two tools: search it, then pull the nutrition detail for one entry.
What you get
- Search across USDA FoodData Central's food records
- Full nutrition detail for a chosen food
- Type-safe responses, defined as Pydantic schemas
- Three ways to run it: the hosted service, a local server, or your own deployment
- One bridge file that can be aimed at whichever of the three you want
Requirements
Python with mcp and httpx, plus mcp_bridge.py — the minimal setup downloads that single file rather than cloning the repository. Pointing it at your own server is a single launch argument.
Setup effort
One command — wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zen-apps/mcp-nutrition-tools/main/src/mcp_bridge.py
