What is the 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.
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
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your NotCo API Key (partner access required)
3. Start exploring formulations from Claude, Cursor, or your preferred MCP client
Who is this for?
- Food Scientists & R&D Teams — instantly query molecular matches without switching contexts
- Product Formulators — test theoretical plant-based recipes in a virtual environment before lab prototyping
- Strategic Food Partners — monitor project progress and evaluate AI-generated prototypes rapidly

NotCo in Mastra AI
NotCo and 3,400+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect NotCo to Mastra AI through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for NotCo in Mastra AI
The NotCo MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 14 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Mastra AI only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
NotCo for Mastra AI
Every tool call from Mastra AI to the NotCo MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this to generate a formula for a new plant-based meat?
Yes! Use the create_formulation tool to instruct Giuseppe to model a specific animal product (e.g., 'Target: Pulled Pork'). You can pass constraints like 'no soy' or 'must contain pea protein'. Giuseppe will return a mathematically generated formula combining plant extracts that mimic the target's molecular profile.
How does Giuseppe match specific flavors?
The search_flavor_matches tool analyzes NotCo's proprietary database. Instead of searching for 'beef flavor', Giuseppe searches for the specific volatile molecular compounds that create the beef flavor, and then finds combinations of seemingly unrelated plants (like pineapple and cabbage) that, when combined mathematically, replicate that exact molecular behavior.
Can I predict the cost of a new formulation before making it?
Absolutely. Once Giuseppe generates a formulation, you can pass its ID to the estimate_cost tool. The API cross-references the required plant ingredients with global B2B commodity pricing databases to give you an estimated per-kilogram cost for mass production.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
