Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 201 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name recipe-nutrition-calculator-mcp.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 4 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 167 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 198 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    2 of 2 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Pass
    Stable tool list

    No tool was removed and no required parameter was added in the last 30 days.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Not measured
    Website matches publisher

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

Capabilities

Tools 4

calculate_recipe_nutrition

Parses ingredient lines ("2 cups flour", "1 stick butter" as 8 tbsp, "3 large eggs", "1 lb ground beef"), converts cups, spoons and counted items to grams with USDA household measure weights for that specific food, and sums USDA FoodData Central nutrients. Returns per-line grams and matches, recipe totals, per-serving values, and the per-serving values rounded by the FDA Nutrition Facts rules (21 CFR 101.9) with percent Daily Value. Lines it cannot match are listed, never guessed.

Discovered
lookup_ingredient_nutrition

Returns USDA FoodData Central nutrient values per 100 g (calories, protein, total fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, fiber, total sugars, sodium) for a common recipe ingredient, with its FDC id, the USDA household measures (1 cup, 1 tbsp, 1 large, 1 clove) in grams, and optionally the nutrients for an amount such as 1.5 cup or 3 large. 406 ingredients from SR Legacy and Foundation Foods, embedded, no API key. Use it instead of estimating nutrition from memory.

Discovered
round_nutrition_label

Applies the FDA Nutrition Facts rounding rules from 21 CFR 101.9(c) to unrounded per-serving values: calories (under 5 = 0, nearest 5 up to 50, nearest 10 above), fat and saturated fat (nearest 0.5 g under 5 g), sodium (nearest 5 mg up to 140 mg, nearest 10 above), carbohydrate, fiber, sugars, added sugars and protein (nearest gram, "less than 1g" rules). Adds percent Daily Value from the 2,000-calorie DRVs (fat 78 g, saturated fat 20 g, sodium 2,300 mg, carbohydrate 275 g, fiber 28 g, added sugars 50 g). Rules copied from the eCFR text.

Discovered
scale_recipe_nutrition

Scales ingredient lines by a factor or from original to target servings (parses mixed numbers and fraction characters), then recomputes total and per-serving nutrition with USDA FoodData Central values and FDA label rounding for the scaled recipe.
