RecipeScale MCP

RecipeScale provides MCP tools for AI assistants to perform kitchen math, including scaling recipes by serving count, converting cooking units using ingredient densities, merging shopping lists, and calculating cost per serving. It operates via Streamable HTTP, stores no data, and requires no account.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

RecipeScale does kitchen math: scale a recipe to a different serving count, convert cooking units (including cups to grams via ingredient densities), merge several shopping lists into one and compute cost per serving. Pure arithmetic; nothing stored.

scale_recipe — Scale recipe
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Scale every ingredient in a recipe from one serving count to another (0.1x to 20x), with kitchen-friendly fraction hints; items without a quantity pass through unchanged. Use when cooking for more or fewer people. Do NOT use to change units (use convert_units) or to combine several recipes' ingredients (use merge_shopping_list).

Convert one cooking amount between units: within volume or weight exactly, or between volume and weight using a built-in density for flour, sugar, brown sugar, butter, water, milk, rice, oats, cocoa or honey. Use for questions like 'how many grams is 2 cups of flour'. Do NOT use to change serving counts (use scale_recipe).

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Combine several shopping or ingredient lists into one, summing the same item across lists (volumes and weights converted to a friendly unit) and noting which list each came from. Use when shopping for several recipes or meals at once. Do NOT use to resize one recipe (use scale_recipe) or price it (use cost_per_serving).

Connect from your client

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 recipescale-mcp https://recipe-scale.magicteams.ai/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 recipescale-mcp --url https://recipe-scale.magicteams.ai/mcp

Cursor

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

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
