Food Recipe Mcp

aidatanordic/food-recipe-mcp

Connects your LLM to a hybrid search engine over 50,000 Food.com recipes using dense e5-large embeddings, sparse BM25, and cross-encoder reranking. Exposes a single search_recipes tool that handles natural language queries in English or Norwegian and filters by diet type, max cooking time, and difficulty level. Returns ranked results with full ingredients, instructions, nutrition data, and user ratings. Useful when you need production-grade recipe retrieval that goes beyond keyword matching, like finding "quick vegetarian Italian pasta under 30 minutes" or handling Norwegian queries like "hurtig pasta med kylling". Built on Qdrant with FastMCP over HTTP, so no local setup required.
