- After MyFitnessPal's MCP stopped working, a Reddit user built Calorie Cub, an "agent-first" calorie logging platform that works from Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client.
- It offers a 3-day free trial; agents are pointed at the site and guided through setup—a textbook example of an indie filling the gap when an official MCP integration dies.
