This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add plan-to-eat -- npx -y plan-to-eat-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PLAN_TO_EAT_USERNAME (Plan to Eat login email), PLAN_TO_EAT_PASSWORD (Plan to Eat password), PLAN_TO_EAT_SESSION_FILE (Where the cookie session is cached. Set to "" to disable caching.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Plan To Eat — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Plan To Eat?
Plan To Eat runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package plan-to-eat-mcp was installed 91 times last week.
How do I connect Plan To Eat?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls plan-to-eat-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Plan To Eat?
The npm package plan-to-eat-mcp was installed 91 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Plan To Eat open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
