What it does

RecipeBee is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.

No capability identified yet from its description.

Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence) and are not a test of the tool.

19 tools offered to AI assistants

preview_meal_plan · Use when the user asks to review a meal plan without adding it to RecipeBee. This chat-only, data-only tool never writes recipes or meal plans and does not render a RecipeBee card.
prepare_meal_plan_import · Use only after the user explicitly asks to add a completed meal plan to RecipeBee. This stateful, data-only step checks private recipes for exact or possible matches and creates a short-lived import draft without creating recipes or a meal
commit_meal_plan_import · Use after prepare_meal_plan_import. Submit exactly one decision for every recipe. Use use_existing only with a recipe ID returned by preparation and only after the user chooses it; otherwise use create_new. This creates one private meal pla
get_image_generation_batch · Read the progress of an optional RecipeBee image-generation batch returned by a meal-plan import. This tool never starts, charges, or cancels image generation; the user must confirm the batch in RecipeBee.
list_saved_recipes · Browse or search the connected user's private RecipeBee recipe library. Use only when the user asks to browse or search saved recipes. Returns a small paginated summary; use show_recipe only for a recipe the user selects.
list_saved_meal_plans · Browse or search the connected user's private RecipeBee meal plans. Use only when the user asks to browse or search meal plans. Returns paginated summaries; use show_meal_plan only for a plan the user selects.
show_meal_plan · Read the selected private meal plan and its scheduled recipes. Use only after the user selects or names a plan. This tool is read-only and does not edit the plan.
open_recipebee_kitchen · Open the connected user's private recipe and meal-plan library in the ChatGPT sidebar. The app reads only the library section the user opens.
preview_recipe · Use when the user asks to preview or review a complete recipe without saving it. Include realistic integer prep_time_minutes, cook_time_minutes, and total_time_minutes values in every complete recipe. Estimate them when the user does not sp
attach_instruction_image · Use after a structured recipe is saved and the user asks to attach its photos. Use the returned canonical stage/action ID and latest content revision. Supply a transferable host file descriptor or accessible HTTPS image URL, only with estab
update_recipe_content · Use only after reading the saved recipe with show_recipe and receiving a direct request to change its ingredients or instructions. Send the full content document and its current revision. Preserve existing section and item IDs for unchanged
get_instruction_image · Read one attachment operation returned by attach_instruction_image. Never resave the recipe to retry a photo. Use show_recipe after completion to refresh the full recipe view.

remove_instruction_image · Use only after the user asks to remove a specific stage or action photo. Read the latest recipe first and supply its content revision plus the photo operation ID. Removal is permanent for this photo; it does not change recipe text or requir
save_recipe · Use when the user explicitly asks to save a complete recipe privately. Include realistic integer prep_time_minutes, cook_time_minutes, and total_time_minutes values in every complete recipe. Estimate them when the user does not specify time
save_recipe_with_image · Save a complete recipe privately and request RecipeBee image generation. Image generation may reserve existing RecipeBee image credits or consume a free-tier image allowance. On protocol 2026-07-28, the server requires an accepted confirmat
show_recipe · Use after attach_recipe_image or generate_recipe_image to render the current authoritative private recipe and image status, or when the user explicitly asks to view an existing recipe. Do not call immediately after save_recipe or save_recip
attach_recipe_image · Use when the user wants to attach an image generated or uploaded in the current MCP client conversation to an existing private RecipeBee recipe. Prefer the Apps SDK file input when MCP client supplies file with download_url and file_id. Use
generate_recipe_image · Request RecipeBee image generation for an existing private recipe. Generation may reserve existing RecipeBee image credits or consume a free-tier image allowance. On protocol 2026-07-28, the server requires an accepted confirmation form bou
get_recipe_image · Check the private AI image status for an existing RecipeBee recipe after image generation was requested.

What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method

Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. $9.99/month.
