Run terminal metabolic calculations with this MCP Server

Claude Code brings rapid metabolic modeling to your command line. By connecting the Metabolic Energy Estimator MCP Server, you can quickly run `calculate_tdee` to get precise Mifflin-St Jeor baselines without opening a browser or writing a script. You can pipe these outputs directly to other terminal utilities. It makes it easy to generate JSON payloads of BMR values and feed them into your backend databases or deployment scripts.

Query activities and calculate burn from the shell

Finding MET values from the CLI is incredibly fast. Your agent uses `search_activity_catalog` to scan the local catalog, then passes the ID to `estimate_calories_burned` to calculate energy expenditure based on weight and duration. This setup lets you build quick shell scripts to log daily physical activities. You can automate your personal logs by piping raw terminal inputs directly into the metabolic engine.

Generate weight loss projection schedules via CLI

Projecting weight timelines shouldn't require complex spreadsheet setups. Claude Code uses `calculate_weight_loss_projection` to output precise target dates based on daily caloric deficits. It handles the math of the 7,700-calorie deficit rule instantly. You can generate text-based timeline tables directly in your terminal. This allows you to quickly check how changes in daily deficits impact long-term weight goals without leaving your shell session.

Setup guide

Common questions about Metabolic Energy Estimator MCP in Claude Code

Run the add command with the transport flag pointing to the server URL in your terminal. Use the list command to confirm it is active.

Yes, Claude Code allows you to capture the output of tools like TDEE calculations and write them to files or pipe them to terminal utilities like jq.

No, the server operates entirely locally. It uses a built-in catalog of 80+ activities and deterministic equations to run all calculations.

If you provide an invalid activity ID or missing metrics, the server returns clear, deterministic error messages. Claude Code reads these errors and prompts you for the missing variables.

Your physical metrics are processed within secure, ephemeral V8 isolates managed by Vinkius. No biometric data or activity profiles are ever written to persistent remote storage.
