How does this MCP calculate calories burned?

It uses a local catalog of over 80 activities with specific MET values and calculates burn based on the user's weight and the duration of the activity.

What equation is used for TDEE?

The MCP uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate both Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE).

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

Does the agent need to know my weight?

Yes, the agent must provide the user's weight to the capabilities to get accurate calorie and metabolic calculations.

How is weight loss calculated?

The capability assumes 1kg of fat equals 7700 calories and calculates the timeline based on the user's daily caloric deficit.

How does it calculate the calories burned?

The estimate_calories_burned capability uses the standard metabolic formula: Calories = MET weight(kg) time(hours). It pulls the exact MET value from its internal activity catalog.

What formula is used for Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)?

The calculate_tdee capability uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is currently considered the most accurate standard for predicting resting metabolic rate.

How does it project weight loss?

The calculate_weight_loss_projection capability uses the biological constant that 1kg of body fat equals approximately 7700 calories. It divides the total required deficit by your daily deficit to predict the exact timeline.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Metabolic Energy Estimator.

01
Search activity catalog
Searches a local database of over 80 physical activities to find their specific MET values.
02
Calculate weight loss projection
Calculates the number of days or weeks needed to reach a target weight based on a set daily calorie deficit.
03
Calculate tdee
Uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to determine a user's Basal Metabolic Rate and Total Daily Energy Expenditure.
04
Estimate calories burned
Computes the exact calories burned for a specific activity using a provided activity ID, user weight, and duration.

Real work

What teams actually run

Workout Tracking

An agent calculates exact energy expenditure after a user logs a specific exercise.

Diet Planning

An agent determines a user's TDEE to set appropriate caloric targets.

Goal Setting

An agent projects how many weeks of a specific deficit are needed to hit a weight goal.

Health Monitoring

An agent uses BMR data to provide context for daily nutritional needs.

Automate a task

Put Metabolic Energy Estimator to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Metabolic Energy Estimator works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Metabolic Energy Estimator to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Metabolic Energy Estimator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Metabolic Energy Estimator. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
