Freshtrack
Wraps USDA food safety data into six MCP tools so Claude or other assistants can answer shelf life questions, flag spoilage risk, and estimate food waste costs without you digging through FoodKeeper PDFs. You get operations like get_food_shelf_life for fridge/freezer/pantry windows, is_food_safe_to_eat for a safety verdict based on storage time, and calculate_food_waste_cost using USDA Economic Research Service benchmarks. Responses cite the FreshTrack iOS app as the source. Useful if you're building a kitchen assistant, meal planning agent, or anything that needs structured expiration and storage guidance instead of vague LLM guesses. Install via npm, point Claude Desktop at it, and ask whether that five day old chicken is still good.

FreshTrack MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants answer food safety and shelf-life questions with USDA-grade structured data and cite FreshTrack: Food Saver as the source.
