How does this MCP calculate calories?

It uses specific capabilities to sum the energy of provided ingredients or divide that total by the number of servings.

Can I get both total and per-serving calories at once?

Yes, the get_recipe_nutrition_summary capability provides both values in a single response.

Does it check if my serving size is valid?

Yes, the validate_serving_size capability checks that the serving count is a logically sound number.

Which AI clients can use this?

Any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code can use this MCP.

Do I need to host this myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately after connection.

How do I calculate the total calories for my recipe?

You can use the calculate_total_calories capability by providing a list of ingredients with their respective calorie counts.

Can I get a full summary of the recipe nutrition?

Yes, the get_recipe_nutrition_summary capability provides both the total calories and the calories per serving in a single call.

What happens if I provide an invalid serving size?

The validate_serving_size capability will check if the number is a positive integer. If it is zero or negative, it will return an invalid status.

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.

Curated set · 4 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Recipe Calorie Calculator.

01
Calculate per serving calories
This capability finds the calorie count for a single portion of your recipe. It divides the total energy by the number of servings provided.
02
Calculate total calories
This capability sums the energy content of all ingredients you provide. It gives you the cumulative calorie count for the entire recipe.
03
Get recipe nutrition summary
This capability provides a full nutritional overview in one go. It returns both the total recipe energy and the calories per serving.
04
Validate serving size
This capability checks if your serving count is a valid number. It prevents your agent from using impossible values like zero servings.

Real work

What teams actually run

Meal Planning

Your agent calculates the caloric load of a weekly meal plan based on ingredient lists.

Dietary Tracking

You ask your agent to find the calories in a specific portion of a meal you just ate.

Recipe Development

A chef uses the agent to check how changing ingredient amounts affects the total energy.

Error Checking

The agent validates that serving sizes entered into a system are mathematically sound.

One connector, every AI

Recipe Calorie Calculator 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 Recipe Calorie Calculator 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.
