Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Nutrition every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

claim
check_claim
For a RAW or minimally-processed whole food, or an unfortified single-ingredient flour, report which nutrition claims ("source of iron", "high in vitamin C", "high fibre") the published data supports under GB/EU rules (15%/30% of NRV per 100 g, Reg. 1924/2006) and US rules (10-19%/20% of DV per RACC, 21 CFR 101.54), and flags where that answer depends on which national food-composition table was used, since the 30 tables reconciled here disagree on the same food by a median of 1.96x. Applies to claims wherever they appear, including websites and advertising (Reg. 1924/2006 Art. 1(2)), not only packaging. NOT valid for cooked or manufactured products — their composition depends on recipe and processing. Screening only: under Art. 5(1)(b)(i) the nutrient must be in THE FINAL PRODUCT, so a supported claim still needs an analysis of the producer's own produce. Results list the tables that do and do not support each claim; the tool does not select a qualifying table.
foods
search_foods
Find the Heathy slug for a food or Ayurvedic herb by name, including regional and non-English aliases (Hindi, Sanskrit, botanical names). Resolves a plain-English or local name to the slug that lookup_food and herb_monograph accept. Returns ranked candidates rather than guessing a single answer.
health
health_topic
What to eat for a health goal — the nutrients involved, why each one, and which raw recipes carry them — the "what should I eat for X" question. Accepts a goal ("gut health", "bone-health") or a named condition ("PCOS", "ADHD", "anaemia"): condition names resolve even though topic titles are physiological. Topics often looked up alongside a diagnosis include a note on what the evidence does and does not support, with its own evidence rating; for ADHD and autism the note states that diet is not a treatment, per NICE. Omit the argument to list every topic.
herb
herb_monograph
Get a sourced monograph for an Ayurvedic herb, with traditional use and modern research kept strictly separate and never blended: `traditional` records what the tradition claims, `modern` records what research shows with an evidence tier (1 = strongest). Each response includes attribution, disclaimer, source_url and a `safety` block with cautions, pregnancy guidance and drug interactions. Accepts English, Sanskrit, Hindi or botanical names ("turmeric", "haldi", "Curcuma longa").
lookup
lookup_food
Get the full per-100 g nutrient profile of a whole plant food, reconciled across up to 30 national food-composition tables (USDA, UK CoFID, IFCT India, Ciqual, BLS, Fineli, and more). Unlike a single-source table, every value reports how many sources contributed, which ones, and the per-source spread — so the number can be cited rather than asserted. Covers Indian foods from IFCT 2017 (ICMR–NIN, India). Accepts a slug ("bitter-gourd") or a plain or regional name ("karela", "chickoo").
nutrient
nutrient_ranking
Ranks whole plant foods by the amount of one nutrient per 100 g of edible portion, optionally within one food category. Each row of `results` gives the value per 100 g, the number of sources behind it and, where heathy.org holds a typical serving for the food, that serving and the amount in it; the order is per 100 g. Foods eaten a few grams at a time (dried herbs, spices, tea leaves, and dried seaweed, mushrooms and vegetables) are not ranked in `results`. They are reported beside it in `also_higher.small_amounts`: a count of those holding more per 100 g than the last row, and the first five. They are ranked in `results` when include_small_amounts is true, and when the category filter selects mostly such foods ("spice", "tea", "seaweed"). With min_sources above 1, foods measured by fewer sources are reported in `also_higher.fewer_sources` in the same way. A nutrient that reads 0 on every food returns an explanation in `all_zero` and no ranking.
recipe
get_recipe
Get one Heathy recipe in full: ingredients with their food slugs and gram weights, method, per-serving nutrition, allergens and carbon footprint. All recipes are original, strictly raw / no-cook and vegan. The nutrition is computed from the ingredient food rows rather than entered by hand, so each figure traces back to the national datasets lookup_food cites. Accepts a slug or the recipe name; use search_recipes to find one.
recipes
search_recipes
Find raw / no-cook vegan recipes on Heathy by free text, health goal, category, ingredient, time or allergen. Every recipe is original and its per-serving nutrition is computed from the same food rows lookup_food returns, so figures are checkable rather than asserted. Returns ranked summaries — call get_recipe with a slug for ingredients, method and full nutrition. health_topic covers what the evidence supports for a goal or a named condition.

Nutrition — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Nutrition do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_claim, get_recipe, health_topic, herb_monograph, lookup_food, nutrient_ranking and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Nutrition working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 585 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Nutrition?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Nutrition need an API key?
No. Nutrition completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Nutrition?
It answers our handshake in 585 ms on average, which is faster than 19% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Nutrition open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Dockerfile and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.heathy.org, which runs on its operator's own terms.
