Seed Oil Tracker MCP Server

A free, hosted MCP server that gives AI assistants live access to the largest restaurant seed oil database: 500+ US chains, 40,000+ menu items, each with an estimated PUFA (polyunsaturated fat) value built from published nutrition data and disclosed cooking oils.

Ask your assistant things like:

  • Does Chick-fil-A use seed oils?

  • What oil does Chipotle cook with?

  • What is the cleanest thing to order at Five Guys?

  • Which chains have the lowest seed oil overall?

Connect

No key, no account, read only.

Endpoint (streamable HTTP):

https://seedoiltracker.com/mcp

Claude (claude.ai): Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, then paste the endpoint URL.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http seed-oil-tracker https://seedoiltracker.com/mcp

Any other MCP client: streamable HTTP transport, no auth.

Setup guide: https://seedoiltracker.com/mcp-setup

Related MCP server: eatwise-mcp

Run locally (stdio)

Prefer a local process, or your client only speaks stdio? This repo ships a zero-dependency stdio server (server.py, Python 3.8+, standard library only). It answers the MCP handshake locally and forwards tool calls to the hosted endpoint.

python server.py

Claude Desktop config example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seed-oil-tracker": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Or with Docker:

docker build -t seed-oil-tracker-mcp .
docker run -i seed-oil-tracker-mcp

Tools

Tool

What it does

get_chain

One chain's seed oil letter grade, the oil it fries in, the cleanest menu items to order, and the highest to avoid. Fuzzy name matching.

search_chains

Find covered chains by full or partial name.

get_rankings

Chains ranked cleanest first or worst first by average seed oil per menu item.

Data

Same dataset that powers the Seed Oil Tracker iOS app and seedoiltracker.com. Also available as a no-key JSON API and ChatGPT Action (https://seedoiltracker.com/ai-tool) and as an open dataset in CSV and JSON, licensed CC BY 4.0 (https://seedoiltracker.com/open-data).

About

Built by Seed Oil Tracker (https://seedoiltracker.com). The hosted server is the primary way to connect; this repository documents it and ships the local stdio bridge. Questions and issues welcome here.

Available Tools

3 tools
get_chainA chain's seed-oil grade, frying oil, and cleanest ordersA

Look up one US restaurant chain: its seed-oil letter grade, the oil it cooks with, the lowest-seed-oil menu items to order, and the highest to avoid. Fuzzy name matching ('chickfila' finds Chick-fil-A).

Inputs: name (required).

get_rankingsCleanest or worst chains, rankedA

Ranked list of chains by average seed oil per menu item. order=best (cleanest first) or worst.

Inputs: limit, order.

search_chainsFind matching chain namesA

Search the 500+ covered US chains by (partial) name; returns matches with grades.

Inputs: query (required).

    TDQS

    A4.3/5.0

    Scored across 3 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: single chain lookup, ranking list, and name search. No overlap in functionality.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (get_chain, get_rankings, search_chains).

    Tool Count5/5

    Three tools is well-scoped for a focused domain of tracking seed oils in chains, providing lookup, rankings, and search without redundancy.

    Completeness4/5

    Core operations are covered: individual lookup, ranked comparisons, and search. A potential minor gap is lack of a tool to list all chains, but search with partial name covers most use cases.

      Enables a chat assistant to log what you ate — text, voice notes, recipe portions, or label/plate photos — by resolving foods against the Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel, Open Food Facts, or Tandoor recipe nutrition and storing copy-on-write nutrient entries in a local SQLite log. It serves these tools over stateless streamable HTTP MCP, grouping entries into meals and summarizing days, weeks, and training/body-weight data when an OpenGym endpoint is configured.
