EmiraDocs · MCP
Emira runs a remote MCP server. Any OAuth-capable MCP client can read your daily totals and write entries into your journal, using the same account as the mobile app.
Three steps, and no key to copy anywhere. If your client supports MCP over OAuth, this is all of it.
https://www.emira-foodjournal.com/mcpThe same credentials you use in the Emira app. No separate account.
A consent screen lists exactly what is being granted. Access tokens and authorisation codes are stored only as hashes.
Five, deliberately. There is no delete tool.
get_profileReads your profile, tracking settings and goals.
get_daily_summaryReads a day's totals and the entries behind them.
get_entryReads one entry in full, with every ingredient.
create_entryLogs a new entry.
update_entryCorrects an entry that already exists.
An assistant will happily log something vague. These five patterns cover almost every case where an entry ends up wrong, and each one is a one-word change in habit.
Do Log 180 g chicken breast, 200 g rice and a tablespoon of olive oil for lunch.
Instead of Log chicken and rice.
Portion size is the single largest source of error in food logging. A stated amount is used as given; an unstated one has to be estimated.
Do Log 150 g of Skyr, the plain 0.2 % one.
Instead of Log some yoghurt.
‘Yoghurt’ spans roughly 45 to 130 kcal per 100 g. Naming the product moves the entry from an estimate to a database match.
Do Log the pasta I had at 8pm yesterday.
Instead of Log the pasta from yesterday.
Entries belong to a day and a time. Being explicit avoids an entry landing on today by default and skewing two days at once.
Do That last entry was 300 g of rice, not 200 g.
Instead of Log 300 g rice.
A correction updates the existing entry. Logging again leaves both in your day, which is the most common way a total silently doubles.
Do How much protein have I had today, and what is left against my goal?
Instead of Am I doing well today?
The assistant can read your totals and goals directly. A specific question gets a number from your journal instead of an opinion.
An assistant is an excellent way to describe a meal and a poor place to keep a record. It has no daily total, no history you can look back at, and no product database to consult. It recalls rather than retrieves.
Connecting Emira splits those jobs properly: the assistant handles the language, Emira handles lookup, arithmetic and memory. For the reasoning behind that, see the assistant page; for what else Emira connects to, see integrations.
