Wraps the USDA FoodData Central API with five tools for searching foods, fetching full nutrient profiles, batch lookups, side-by-side comparisons, and a static nutrient reference table. Search spans SR Legacy whole foods and branded products, including UPC lookup. The get_food tool returns full profiles with optional portion scaling in grams, ounces, pounds, or servings. Batch operations report partial failures instead of aborting when some IDs are missing. Compare_foods returns a markdown pivot table with values scaled to a common basis. Built on the author's mcp-ts-core framework with unified error handling and both stdio and streamable HTTP transports. Requires a free FoodData Central API key.
