Chowdown MCP

Chowdown keeps recipes as plain text files in your own Google Drive and provides an MCP server for AI assistants to search, filter, scale, and cook from your collection. It allows agents to browse recipes, find meals based on ingredients, import new recipes from URLs, and manage tags and favorites.

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http chowdown-mcp https://chowdown.apps.mrida.ng/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add chowdown-mcp --url https://chowdown.apps.mrida.ng/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable chowdown-mcp in your MCP settings.
