What an agent uses it for

An agent working on normalizing food and ingredient names queries this for a controlled vocabulary of foods, food products, and source/processing relationships for diet and food-safety tasks.

Use it
curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xerj-org/xerj/corpus-hub/tools/xerj-code/hub/foodon.json
xerj corpus add --from ./foodon.json
xerj corpus index foodon then xerj code foodon "your question"

Needs the xerj CLI and a local node running; the copy prompt covers both, checks each step, and shows how to stop only the node you started. No shell: the MCP tool xerj_code_search with corpus: "foodon", once the corpus is indexed on the node.
