Freshtrack

Overview

Freshtrack is an MCP server that gives AI assistants access to a USDA food shelf-life database along with food safety guidance, storage tips, and a food waste cost calculator. Instead of searching multiple sources, your AI can query Freshtrack directly as a callable tool, making food safety advice and waste reduction planning faster and more integrated into your workflow.

Freshtrack runs locally on your machine via the npm package freshtrack-mcp-server, communicating over stdio with no authentication required. Install it with npx -y freshtrack-mcp-server and start using it immediately. Version v1.0.1 is available now under the MIT license, with full source code at chrisbusbin-pixel/freshtrack-mcp-server on GitHub.

Freshtrack is listed in the Database category on mcp.site and works with any MCP client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim your listing to verify ownership and keep the information up to date.
