**Forkmate** ([forkmate.ai](https://forkmate.ai)) is a free AI calorie and macro tracker you talk
to. Tell your AI assistant what you ate, and it logs the meal with its calories, protein, carbs and
fat to your private food diary. See the day in the web diary at
[app.forkmate.ai](https://app.forkmate.ai).

It is a hosted, remote [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server. There is nothing to install
or run: add one URL to your client and sign in.
