The cookbook
for AI agents.

Ask for dinner. Every recipe cooked and rated by people.

ask.recipes is an MCP server. Connect it to Claude or ChatGPT, ask for dinner, and your agent answers from crawled recipes with ratings and a link back to the author — instead of improvising one.

Agents invent recipes.
That's a recipe for disaster.

Ask a model for dinner and it will confidently blend three recipes it half-remembers into one nobody ever cooked. ask.recipes gives your agent ground truth instead: recipes crawled from the structured data recipe sites publish themselves, kept only when people rated them well, served with nutrition and a link back to the author. Your agent still does what it's good at: swapping ingredients, scaling servings, planning the week. It just doesn't have to invent the recipe.

What the recipe page makes you scroll
1,308 words on the very page this recipe came from, counted 1 recipe, somewhere in there
What your agent hands you
9 ingredient lines. The ones above, exactly 8 steps. 0 ads. Nutrition included. Author credited.

Same recipe, both times. We keep the facts: ingredients, steps, times, ratings. The prose and the ads stay where they live.

What's on the counter

search_recipes

"High-protein breakfast, under 20 minutes." Filtered by source ratings: 4.2★ and 25+ reviews by default.

find_by_ingredients

"I have oats, eggs, skyr and berries." Ranked by what you have and how little you're missing.

get_recipe

The full ticket: ingredients, steps, times, yield, nutrition, and the source link. Nothing else.

save_recipe · list_saved

"Save that one." Your keepers, on a nail by the counter, any session.

upload_recipe

Grandma's lasagna goes in the box too. Private to you, searchable by your agent.

substitutions?

Your agent's job. And it's good at it, once it has a recipe to stand on. We supply the ground truth.

Ask at the counter

The conversation is an example; the tickets aren't — they're crawled recipes exactly as served, ratings and nutrition included.

Connect your agent

  1. Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://mcp.ask.recipes/mcp
  2. ChatGPT: Settings → Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode → Add the same URL.
  3. Sign in when your agent asks. It's free; the account just keeps the counter orderly and your saved recipes yours.
  4. Ask. "Find me a weeknight curry people actually rate well." Done.

Searching and reading recipes is free. No ads, ever. An ad-free recipe service that shows you ads would be a strange thing to build.
