Search food macros in Windsurf

Cascade uses `search_fatsecret_foods` to pull real-time macro data for any ingredient. You just type a food name, and the agent finds the exact match in the database. Stop guessing your daily intake. The agent returns calories, protein, and fat counts so you can log your meals accurately without leaving the editor.

Get precise serving details

The `get_fatsecret_food_details` tool retrieves specific nutritional breakdowns for various portion sizes. Cascade fetches these values so you see the data for 1 cup, 100g, or custom amounts. This gives your Windsurf session instant access to verified food data. It removes the need to manually browse external sites for basic nutrition facts.

Automate diet logging workflows

Cascade can chain these tools to build a custom diet tracking dashboard. It queries the data, formats the output, and updates your project files automatically. This MCP Server provides the raw input for your scripts. You define the goal, and the agent executes the sequence to gather the necessary nutritional statistics.
