Documentation Overview

Nutrition MCP

A remote MCP server for personal nutrition tracking — log meals with calories, macros, fiber, total sugar and caffeine, log water and body weight, review nutrition history, and import an existing food diary from another app, all through conversation. Alcohol tracking is opt-in and off by default.

Quick Start

Already hosted and ready to use — just connect it to your MCP client:

Code

https://nutrition-mcp.com/mcp

On Claude.ai: Customize → Connectors → + → Add custom connector → paste the URL → Connect

On first connect you'll be asked to register with an email and password. Your data persists across reconnections.

Switching from another tracker? See the nutrition-app alternatives — how it compares to MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, Lose It!, MacroFactor, Yazio, and Lifesum. Bring your history with you: say "import my meals" and an importer opens in the chat, where you pick the CSV you exported from your old app, map its columns, and check what will be added before anything is saved. Exports from MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, Lose It! and MacroFactor are recognised automatically; any other CSV works by mapping its columns yourself. In clients that can't show in-chat panels, paste the export instead and the AI imports it for you. If your export has an alcohol column and you want it kept, turn alcohol tracking on before importing — the importer skips that column while tracking is off, and re-importing the same file later won't backfill it.

Self-hosting

1. Supabase setup

Create a Supabase project.
Enable Email Auth (Authentication → Providers → Email) and disable email confirmation.
Apply the schema. The full schema lives in supabase/migrations/. With the Supabase CLI:
bash
```
supabase link --project-ref <your-project-ref>
supabase db push
```
This creates every table, index, RLS policy, and foreign key the app needs. No local Postgres is involved — migrations run against your hosted project.
Copy the service role key from Project Settings → API and use it as SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY.

2. Environment variables

Variable	Description
`SUPABASE_URL`	Your Supabase project URL
`SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY`	Supabase service role key (bypasses RLS)
`OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`	Random string for OAuth client identification
`OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET`	Random string for OAuth client authentication
`GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID`	(optional) Google OAuth client ID for "Sign in with Google"
`GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET`	(optional) Google OAuth client secret
`OFF_USER_AGENT`	Open Food Facts User-Agent for barcode lookups, in the form `AppName (email)`
`PORT`	Server port (default: `8080`)

Making it yours: The public site includes the maintainer's personal bits — Google Analytics, Patreon/GitHub/contact links, and the nutrition-mcp.com domain. Run bun run depersonalize to strip them all in one pass (analytics + CSP, the Support/Contact sections, social links, and the domain → a your-domain.com placeholder). Use bun run depersonalize --dry to preview without writing. Afterwards, swap in your own public/og.png, favicon.ico, and apple-touch-icon.png, and replace the domain placeholder with your real domain.

Generate OAuth credentials:

bash

openssl rand -hex 16   # use as OAUTH_CLIENT_ID
openssl rand -hex 32   # use as OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET

3. Google sign-in (optional)

Email/password works out of the box. To also offer "Continue with Google", follow docs/google-auth-setup.md to create a Google OAuth client, enable the Google provider in Supabase, and set GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID / GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET.

Development

bash

bun install
cp .env.example .env   # fill in your credentials
bun run dev             # starts with hot reload on http://localhost:8080

Connect to Claude.ai

Open Claude.ai and click Customize
Click Connectors, then the + button
Click Add custom connector
Fill in:
- Name: Nutrition Tracker
- Remote MCP Server URL: https://nutrition-mcp.com/mcp
Click Connect — sign in or register when prompted
After signing in, Claude can use your nutrition tools. If you reconnect later, sign in with the same email and password to keep your data.
