Recipes MCP — wraps TheMealDB API (free tier, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 250+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_meals | Search for recipes by meal name. Returns meal IDs, names, and thumbnail images. Use get_meal to fetch full ingredients and cooking instructions. |
get_meal | Get complete recipe details including ingredients with measurements and step-by-step cooking instructions. Pass a meal ID from search_meals or random_meal. |
random_meal | Get a random meal recipe with full ingredients and cooking instructions. Use when you need recipe inspiration without a specific search. |
meals_by_ingredient | Find all recipes using a specific ingredient (e.g., "chicken", "garlic", "pasta"). Returns meal names and IDs to pass to get_meal. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"recipes": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/recipes/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Recipes data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
