That's it! On first use, the AI will guide you through setup:
- check_auth_status— detects missing credentials and tells you what to do
- setup_credentials— you provide your API keys (saved to~/.fatsecret-mcp/config.json)
- start_auth→complete_auth— authorize your FatSecret account for diary/weight tools
Alternatively, you can pass credentials as environment variables:
{ "mcpServers": { "fatsecret": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "fatsecret-mcp"], "env": { "FATSECRET_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id", "FATSECRET_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret", "FATSECRET_CONSUMER_SECRET": "your_consumer_secret" } } } }
- Create a free account atplatform.fatsecret.com
- Navigate toMy Account → API Keys
- You'll see three values:
- Client ID(used for both OAuth 2.0 and OAuth 1.0)
- Client Secret(OAuth 2.0 - for public food/recipe search)
- Consumer Secret(OAuth 1.0 - for user profile/diary access)
