Available tools 6

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

calculate

calculate_nutrition_label

Calculate a US FDA Nutrition Facts label from a formula: FDA rounding (21 CFR 101.9), % Daily Values, RACC-based serving size, servings per container, single vs dual-column format, plus ingredient, allergen and net-quantity statements and nutrient-content claim checks. Ingredient quantities are batch amounts; nutrients are per 100 g of each ingredient. Missing nutrients are treated as 0 and reported back, so the label is only as good as its inputs: it must be verified before printing.

gras

search_gras_notices

Search the FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) Notice inventory by substance, intended use or notifier. Returns GRN number, substance, intended use, basis, notifier, filing/closure dates and FDA's response letter (e.g. 'FDA has no questions'). Useful for checking whether a food ingredient has a GRAS notice before formulating for the US market. A missing notice does not mean an ingredient is not GRAS (self-affirmed GRAS exists), and a notice covers only its stated uses.

label

search_label_ingredients

Search the SKS nutrition ingredient library (largely USDA-based) for an ingredient's nutrients per 100 g, label declaration name and allergens. Each result says where its data comes from and which nutrients are missing.

racc

list_racc_categories

List FDA Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed (RACC, 21 CFR 101.12) product categories used for Nutrition Facts serving sizes. Returns each category's id, group, name, reference amount and household measure hint. Optional filter words, e.g. 'cookie', 'carbonated beverage' or 'sauce'.

retailer

check_retailer_ingredients

Screen food ingredients against the public private-label ingredient rules of 7 US retailers: Trader Joe's (TJ), Whole Foods Market (WFM), Kroger Simple Truth (ST), Walmart (WMT), Sam's Club (SAM), Aldi (ALDI) and Sprouts (SPR). Covers about 54 ingredients and classes (synthetic colors, high-intensity sweeteners, preservatives, emulsifiers, fats, flavors). Statuses: BANNED, BANNED_BY_PRINCIPLE, ALLOWED_NAMED, CONDITIONAL, NOT_LISTED (not the same as approved), UNVERIFIED, CONFIRM_WITH_BUYER. Public lists are not full specifications: always confirm with the buyer.

sweetener

sweetener_sugar_replacement

Calculate how much of a sweetener matches the sweetness of a given amount of sugar (sucrose), the calories saved, and the bulk (grams of solids) lost that must be replaced with fiber, polyol or another bulking agent. Also returns the sweetener's relative sweetness, kcal/g, glycemic index, heat/acid stability and regulatory notes from the SKS Sweetener Atlas.

SKS Nutrition AI — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can SKS Nutrition AI do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: calculate_nutrition_label, check_retailer_ingredients, list_racc_categories, search_gras_notices, search_label_ingredients, sweetener_sugar_replacement. 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 SKS Nutrition AI 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 234 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect SKS Nutrition AI?

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 SKS Nutrition AI need an API key?

No. SKS Nutrition AI completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is SKS Nutrition AI?

It answers our handshake in 234 ms on average, which is faster than 61% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
