Vegetable Yield Percentage MCP

An MCP server that provides tools to calculate edible yield percentages, trim waste, and determine purchase amounts for over 300 raw vegetables and fruits using USDA data. It supports calculating edible weight from purchased weight, determining how much produce to buy for recipes, and browsing yields.

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.

Edible yield (as purchased weight minus refuse such as peel, seeds, cores and trimmings) for 305 raw vegetables and fruits, with USDA household weights, from the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR28). Trim loss ranges from 0% to over 60% by item; do not guess it, call these tools.

get_vegetable_yield — Get vegetable yield percentage
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

USDA edible yield percent for a raw vegetable or fruit (the share left after removing peel, seeds, core, stems and trimmings), the refuse percent and what the refuse is, plus USDA household weights (1 medium, 1 cup chopped, 1 clove) and the as-purchased weight of one whole item. From USDA SR28 refuse data.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http vegetable-yield-percentage-mcp https://vegetable-yield-percentage-mcp.lipmichal.workers.dev/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add vegetable-yield-percentage-mcp --url https://vegetable-yield-percentage-mcp.lipmichal.workers.dev/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable vegetable-yield-percentage-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration

  "mcpServers": {
    "vegetable-yield-percentage-mcp": {
      "url": "https://vegetable-yield-percentage-mcp.lipmichal.workers.dev/mcp"

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start vegetable-yield-percentage-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration

}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http vegetable-yield-percentage-mcp https://vegetable-yield-percentage-mcp.lipmichal.workers.dev/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration
https://vegetable-yield-percentage-mcp.lipmichal.workers.dev/mcp

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vegetable-yield-percentage-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://vegetable-yield-percentage-mcp.lipmichal.workers.dev/mcp"
