What can Japan Food DB do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_nutrition, search_food. 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 →

How do I connect Japan Food DB?

Does Japan Food DB need an API key?

No. Japan Food DB completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Japan Food DB?

It answers our handshake in 274 ms on average, which is faster than 54% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
