FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my diet for me?

    No. The AI only calculates the impact of your current diet. You make all the actual decisions about what you eat.

  • 02

    Does the AI automatically update my food logs?

    No. The AI reads the data you provide through the connection, but it does not write to or modify your original food logs.

  • 03

    Can I use this with Claude?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop.

  • 04

    What kind of data does it need?

    It needs a list of foods or dietary entries that it can process to calculate the impact percentages.

  • 05

    Will it tell me how to cook low-emission meals?

    No. The tool specifically calculates group impact percentages. It does not have a tool for generating recipes or cooking instructions.
