Raw to Cooked Weight MCP

A community MCP server that converts raw to cooked weight and vice versa for various meats and poultry using USDA cooking yield data. It supports calculating raw weight to buy, finding specific cooking yields, and browsing the entire USDA table by category and method.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Raw to cooked weight conversions for meat and poultry from the USDA Table of Cooking Yields for Meat and Poultry (ARS, Release 2, 173 measured cut and method rows). Yields differ a lot by cut, fat level and method (bacon keeps about 30% of its raw weight, a cured ham 85-96%), so do not use a flat 25% loss: call these tools.

convert_raw_to_cooked — Convert raw to cooked weight
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Cooked weight of raw meat or poultry using the USDA measured cooking yield for that cut and cooking method (USDA Table of Cooking Yields for Meat and Poultry). Returns the expected cooked weight in g, oz, lb and kg, the range seen across USDA samples, the weight lost, and the USDA row used. Understands ground beef lean ratios such as 80/20 or 93% lean.

convert_cooked_to_raw — Convert cooked to raw weight
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Raw weight that a cooked portion of meat or poultry came from, using the USDA measured cooking yield. Use it to log a cooked portion against raw nutrition data (labels and most databases list raw meat) or to scale a recipe written in cooked weight. Returns raw weight in g, oz, lb and kg, and the raw weight if the yield was at the USDA high or low end.
