This demo uses the same data your assistant gets.

Plug it in

It's a remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP, with no auth or API keys.

claude mcp add --transport http restaurant-health https://food.ian.sh/mcp

Then ask something like "Is Katz's Deli still an A?" or "What violations did the In-N-Out on Sunset get last time?"

search_restaurants

Searches by name, with optional address words or ZIP, and returns the current grade.

get_inspection_history

Lists past inspections with scores and violations, newest first.

rating_systems

Explains each city's grading scale, since a 12 means something different in every one.

Four cities, four ways to grade

The cities don't use the same scale, so the server explains each result.
