Meal Puzzle

Meal Puzzle is a group ordering tool for McDonald's that matches individual food preferences to real menus, official pricing, and item distribution.

Meal Puzzle is a productivity tool designed for groups of one to six people to organize store pickup orders for McDonald's. It allows users to either input individual wishes for the system to generate recommendations or select meals and items manually to distribute among participants. The application uses real store menus and connects to McDonald's Model Context Protocol tools to query nearby stores, view meals, select options, and calculate exact prices. It supports two main workflows, handles price updates and expiration, and lets users copy or download the final itemized list. The project runs locally with Node.js, uses native JavaScript on the frontend, and includes a demo mode with fictional menus for users without an official token.
