  DERIVED from the provider's own OpenAPI 3.0.1 document at
  https://api.webapp.prod.blv.foodcase-services.com/BLV_WebApp_WS/webresources/openapi.json (saved verbatim at
  openapi/swiss-food-composition-database-openapi.json). Searched for a first-party server on 2026-08-27 -
  the FSVO Downloads page, the published API description document, the Swagger UI docs host and web search -
  and found none.

note: >-
  The Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office ships NO MCP server, hosted or stdio. The tools below are a
  candidate mapping API Evangelist derived from the 21 published REST operations; nothing here is served by
  the provider and no endpoint has been invented. Because the API is fully anonymous, read-only and
  CORS-open (access-control-allow-origin: *), a server built from this spec needs no credential handling at
  all. Third-party MCP servers that wrap this database exist (e.g. https://github.com/clement8426/swiss-apis-mcp),
  but they are community projects, not FSVO surfaces, and are not counted as a provider deployment.
