Nothing serious here today

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

Connect this server

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 mfp-mcp -- uvx mfp-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mfp-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mfp-mcp"
      ]
    }

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: MFP_COOKIE (MyFitnessPal session cookie (optional; 'mfp-mcp auth' is the guided alternative)), MFP_USERNAME (MyFitnessPal username; only needed if MFP's profile lookup fails for your account).

MyFitnessPal — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MyFitnessPal?
MyFitnessPal 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 pypi package mfp-mcp was installed 458 times last week.
How do I connect MyFitnessPal?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls mfp-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MyFitnessPal?
The pypi package mfp-mcp was installed 458 times in the last week. Week over week that is -66%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MyFitnessPal open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 28 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
