Recipe Mcp

blaideinc/recipe-mcp

Connects Claude to the Cookwith.co API for AI-powered recipe generation and transformation. Exposes two main operations: generate_recipe takes natural language prompts plus optional dietary restrictions, allergies, calorie targets, and serving counts to create new recipes, while transform_recipe modifies existing recipes based on instructions like "make this vegan" or "reduce calories by 200". Each recipe comes back with full ingredient lists, step-by-step instructions, and nutritional breakdowns. Works without an API key but runs into a 20 requests per hour rate limit. Reach for this when you want Claude to handle cooking questions with actual structured recipe data instead of just generating markdown lists.
