Mit Dining

hongnoul/mit-dining-mcp

Scrapes real-time menu data from MIT's six Bon Appétit dining halls by parsing embedded JSON from their website. Exposes four tools: get today's menus across all halls, query a specific hall with optional date, pull a seven-day lookahead, or filter by dietary restrictions like vegan, halal, or gluten-free. The repo includes working examples for a Discord bot with slash commands, an iOS Shortcut for Siri integration, and a Google Calendar sync script. Menus cache for an hour to avoid hammering the source. Runs on Node, Bun, or Deno. Reach for this if you're building meal planning tools for MIT students or need to surface dining options in chat interfaces.
