How does this MCP calculate protein needs?

It uses specialized physiological formulas that factor in your weight, age, activity level, and health status.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

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

What is the leucine trigger?

The leucine trigger is the specific amount of protein required in a single sitting to maximize muscle protein synthesis.

Does it help with meal planning?

Yes, the capability can break down your total daily protein target into specific portions for each meal.

Is this for weight loss or muscle gain?

The capability focuses on muscle protein synthesis and metabolic health, making it useful for both muscle gain and maintaining metabolic function.

How does the capability handle plant-based diets?

The calculate_daily_requirement capability applies a quality adjustment factor for plant-based users to ensure they meet the necessary amino acid thresholds.

What is the leucine threshold?

It is the minimum amount of leucine required in a single meal to trigger muscle protein synthesis. You can find this using calculate_leucine_trigger.

Can I plan my meals with this server?

Yes, use get_meal_distribution to divide your total daily protein target into specific amounts for each meal.

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.

Real work

What teams actually run

Muscle Hypertrophy Planning

Your agent calculates the leucine trigger to ensure every meal supports muscle growth.

Plant-Based Optimization

The MCP identifies higher protein amounts needed to hit amino acid thresholds in plant diets.

Daily Macro Management

Your agent sets a daily protein baseline based on your weight and activity.

Training Periodization

The capability provides timing advice to coordinate protein intake with your workouts.

One connector, every AI

Protein Intake Optimizer 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 Protein Intake Optimizer 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 Protein Intake Optimizer, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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