Zovo Recipe Card Maker MCP
This MCP server allows users to generate printable recipe cards in various sizes (4x6, 3x5, 5x7, A6) from text input. It supports scaling ingredients while maintaining kitchen fractions, converting between metric and US units, and handling long recipes across multiple cards. The output is a PDF with cut lines or single cards per page.

generate_recipe_cards — Generate recipe cards
Advertised read-only
Use this when the user wants printable recipe cards ("recipe card", "recipe cards printable", "4x6 recipe card", "recipe card template", "3x5 recipe cards", "print my recipe on a card") or wants a recipe doubled, halved or scaled to a number of servings for printing. If the user pastes or uploads a recipe (text, a web page or a photo of a card), first copy its title, servings, ingredient lines and steps into recipes, keeping amounts as written, then call. Builds a PDF of 4x6, 3x5, 5x7, half-letter or A6 cards, up to 4 per Letter or A4 sheet with cut lines or one per page, scales amounts with fractions kept as fractions, converts units only when asked, and continues long recipes on a second card instead of shrinking text below 8 pt. Returns the scaled ingredient lines, card counts and a PDF link. Does not find or invent recipes, does not compute nutrition, and does not change cooking times.
