Only your kitchen
Your assistant signs in as you and sees only your pantry, goals, and plans (plus your household's shared pantry, if you're in one). Nobody else's.
Same Calfo, everywhere
It reads and writes the same pantry, goals, and meal plan as the Calfo app, so there's nothing to sync or export.
Careful with your data
Removing food always asks whether it was used or tossed, so your savings stay accurate, and meals you've already cooked can't be deleted.
FAQ
What is Calfo in Claude Code?
It connects your Calfo account to Claude Code through MCP, an open standard for giving AI assistants tools. Once it's connected, you can ask Claude Code about your pantry, goals, recipes, and meal plan, and it can make changes for you.
Do I need the Calfo app?
You need a Calfo account, which you create in the free iPhone app. Your assistant works with the same pantry and meal plan you see there.
Can my assistant see anyone else's data?
No. It signs in as you, and Calfo only returns your own pantry, goals, and plans. If you share a household, it also sees the household's shared pantry, just like the app does.
Can it delete things by mistake?
It asks for a reason before removing food (used or tossed), it can't delete meals you've already cooked, and it can only delete recipes it saved for you. Everything else is a normal edit you can change back in the app.
Does it cost extra?
Connecting is free, and Claude Code runs on your own Claude Code plan. Writing new recipes follows your Calfo plan's daily limit: 2 a day on Free, 10 a day on Calfo Pro.
Bring your kitchen into Claude Code.
