Recipes MCP server

mcp-recipes

Recipes live on many sites, and each one writes them its own way: a French cooking site publishes in French, with its own measures and its own idea of what a serving is, and a wiki cookbook in English, with equipment lists and prose the first has no field for. Asking a question of one of them answers about one of them.

This server reads six. Three publish in French, Marmiton, Ptitchef and Supertoinette; two in English, the Wikibooks Cookbook and BBC Good Food; and one in Spanish, Pequerecetas. You can search them all with one question, read a recipe from any of them in one shape, put several versions of the same dish side by side, and rescale any ingredient list. It needs no API key and no account.

claude mcp add recipes -- npx -y mcp-recipes

Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any client using the standard config format

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recipes": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-recipes"]
    }
  }
}

Node 24 or later is required, and no environment variable has to be set.

With Docker

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recipes": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/smeet666/mcp-recipes:4.0.0"]
    }
  }
}

-i keeps stdin open, which is where the protocol travels, and -t is left out because a TTY rewrites the stream. The container needs outbound HTTPS to www.marmiton.org, api.wikimedia.org, www.ptitchef.com, www.bbcgoodfood.com, www.supertoinette.com and www.pequerecetas.com, and nothing else: no volume, no port, no credential.
