About NotCo MCP Server
Connect your AI agent directly to Giuseppe, NotCo’s proprietary Food Tech AI platform. Accelerate your B2B food research and development by commanding Giuseppe through natural language.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and NotCo tool infrastructure. Connect 14 tools through Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution. deployable to any Node.js host in one command.
What you can do
- AI Formulation Generation — Command Giuseppe to analyze the molecular structure of an animal product and generate a plant-based blueprint using combinations from a database of over 300,000 plants
- Ingredient Search — Browse and retrieve the molecular, sensory, and functional profiles of thousands of plant extracts and proteins
- Flavor & Texture Matching — Use AI computational models to find plant compounds that replicate specific volatile molecules, aromas, and mouthfeels
- Nutritional Label Prediction — Run predictive algorithms on custom plant mixtures to estimate the final nutritional values of a recipe before entering the lab
- Cost Estimation — Predict the theoretical mass-production cost of an AI-generated formula based on global commodity pricing
The NotCo MCP Server exposes 14 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Mastra AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
