**Precision food chemistry, global nutrition databases (USDA, Open Food Facts, IFCT), and recipe formulation for AI agents.**

`food-mcp` equips LLMs and autonomous agents with exact molecular nutrition data: essential amino acid profiles (WHO/FAO 2007), Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) Leucine threshold verification, electrolyte and mineral synergy ($Na:K$ and $Ca:Mg$ ratios), Iron bioavailability dynamics, Glycemic Load (GL) calculation, and NOVA ultra-processed food detection.

## Quickstart

Run directly without manual installation using `uvx` (recommended) or `npx`:

```bash
# Python / uvx (zero install)
uvx food-mcp

# Or use the CLI alias
uvx --from food-mcp food-chemistry-mcp

# Node / npx (zero install thin bridge)
npx food-mcp
```

### MCP Client Configuration

Add `food-mcp` to your MCP client config (`claude_desktop_config.json`, `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, or Antigravity):

#### Using `uvx` (Recommended)
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "food-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "food-mcp", "food-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

#### Using `npx`
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "food-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "food-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```
