Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to memoryapi.org, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that lets an assistant search USDA FoodData Central and compare the nutrition of foods.

What you can do: Search foods by name and get their nutrition macros from USDA FoodData Central. Retrieve a full nutrition profile, including macros, vitamins and minerals, for a specific food by its USDA FDC ID. Compare several foods side by side and see which win on protein and calorie density.
When to use it: Useful when you want nutrition facts while planning meals, checking macros, or comparing foods, without looking them up by hand.
Requirements: A remote endpoint at food.memoryapi.org over streamable HTTP; no package, account, API key or environment variable is declared.

Before you install

Nutrition data comes from USDA FoodData Central and is passed through the remote service, so queries go to a third party. It is reference data only, not medical or dietary advice.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Food & Nutrition in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/org.memoryapi%2Ffood/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
