Quick Start

Already hosted and ready to use — just connect it to your MCP client:

https://nutrition-mcp.com/mcp

On Claude.ai: Customize → Connectors → + → Add custom connector → paste the URL → Connect

On first connect you'll be asked to register with an email and password. Your data persists across reconnections.

Self-hosting

1. Supabase setup

1. Create a Supabase project.

2. Enable Email Auth (Authentication → Providers → Email) and disable email confirmation.

3. Apply the schema. The full schema lives in supabase/migrations/. With the Supabase CLI:

   supabase link --project-ref <your-project-ref>
   supabase db push
   

   This creates every table, index, RLS policy, and foreign key the app needs. No local Postgres is involved — migrations run against your hosted project.

4. Copy the service role key from Project Settings → API and use it as SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY.

2. Environment variables

Variable	Description
SUPABASE_URL	Your Supabase project URL
SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY	Supabase service role key (bypasses RLS)
OAUTH_CLIENT_ID	Random string for OAuth client identification
OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET	Random string for OAuth client authentication
PORT	Server port (default: 8080)

Note: The HTML files in public/ include a Google Analytics tag (G-1K4HRB2R8X). If you're self-hosting, remove or replace the gtag snippet in public/index.html, public/login.html, and public/privacy.html.

Generate OAuth credentials:

openssl rand -hex 16   # use as OAUTH_CLIENT_ID
openssl rand -hex 32   # use as OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET

Development

bun install
cp .env.example .env   # fill in your credentials
bun run dev             # starts with hot reload on http://localhost:8080
