Add this to your Claude Desktop config file. Find it at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS.

What this does

deadletterq/mcp-opennutrition exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation. That makes it useful when you want Claude to reach into your databases without copy-pasting context every turn.

Common use cases

  • Query structured data without writing SQL by hand
  • Let Claude read table schemas before answering data questions
  • Run read-only operational reports or sanity checks during incidents
