RecipeScale missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

convert

convert_units

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).

cost

cost_per_serving

Total the cost of a recipe's ingredients and work out the cost per serving and per 10 servings. Use when budgeting a dish, pricing meal prep or comparing recipes on cost. Do NOT use to resize the recipe (use scale_recipe first, then price the scaled amounts here).

merge

merge_shopping_list

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).

scale

scale_recipe

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).

RecipeScale — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can RecipeScale do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: convert_units, cost_per_serving, merge_shopping_list, scale_recipe. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is RecipeScale working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 119 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect RecipeScale?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does RecipeScale need an API key?

No. RecipeScale completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is RecipeScale?

It answers our handshake in 119 ms on average, which is faster than 78% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is RecipeScale open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
