Household Agent

English | 🌐 中文

AI-powered household management — let AI handle the small daily decisions so you don't have to.

Track groceries, predict restocking needs, plan meals from what's in your fridge, and monitor baby supplies — all through Claude Code (MCP), CLI, or a local web dashboard.

Quick Start

npm install
npm start          # Web dashboard at http://localhost:3333

Related MCP server: grocy-mcp

Usage

Claude Code (MCP)

Add to your Claude Code MCP config (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "household": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/household/skills/mcp-server.js"]
    }
  }
}

Then just talk naturally:

• "What groceries do we have?" → inventory_list

• "What do we need to buy this week?" → shopping_list

• "How many days of baby formula left?" → baby_supply_status

• "Log 3 diapers used" → baby_log_event

• "What can I cook with what's in the fridge?" → meal_suggestions

OpenClaw

Import the skills/ folder via OpenClaw Skill Manager, or add MCP config:

command: node
args: [/path/to/household/skills/mcp-server.js]

Skill metadata is defined in skills/SKILL.md.

CLI

node skills/inventory.js add <barcode or name>     # Add item (auto-lookup via Open Food Facts)
node skills/inventory.js consume <ID or name> [qty] # Record consumption
node skills/inventory.js list [location]            # View inventory
node skills/inventory.js expiring [days]            # Expiring items (default 7 days)
node skills/inventory.js status                     # Dashboard summary

Web Dashboard

http://localhost:3333 — tabs for inventory, restock, cooking, calendar, baby tracking, and settings.

Three entry points — MCP server, web server, and CLI — share a common data layer (lib/), operating on the same JSON files.

MCP Tools

Key Features

• Consumption prediction — tracks usage patterns to predict when items run out

• Smart restock — auto-generates shopping lists based on consumption velocity

• Recipe gap matching — finds dishes you can almost make (missing just 1 ingredient)

• Baby tracking — feeding, diaper, sleep logging with supply predictions

• Barcode scanning — auto-lookup via Open Food Facts API

• Image recognition — identify items via Claude Vision (web dashboard)

Baby Tracker Import

Import baby life records from Baby Tracker app (.btcp format):

node skills/import-btcp.js <file.btcp> [--dry-run] [--tz=8]

Or upload via web dashboard at Settings → Import.

Data Storage

All data is local JSON files — no cloud, no database server, no account required. Atomic writes (write-tmp-then-rename) prevent corruption.
