Integration

Chomp Food API integration

Chomp is a food and nutrition database of about 1.2 million branded grocery products and raw ingredients. Look up a packaged food by its UPC/EAN barcode, search branded foods by name or by brand, category, country, ingredient, allergen, diet, nutrient, vitamin or mineral, and get nutrients per 100 g, ingredients, allergens, diet compatibility and packaging photos; raw ingredients come with nutrient ranges, portions and conversion factors. The Limited plan opens only the barcode lookup; name, filtered and ingredient searches need a Standard or Premium plan. The recipe routes of the discontinued Recipe Data API are not exposed. Authentication is an API key sent as the api_key query parameter.

What you can do with Chomp Food API

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use Chomp Food API from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Chomp Food API in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Chomp Food API operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
