Available tools 6

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

starter
get_starter_menu
Get ChefSums's ready-costed starter menu for a UK venue type. With no venue, lists the venue types (pub, cafe, restaurant, takeaway) and their dishes. With a venue, returns every dish with its menu price, ingredient cost per portion, food cost % and GP % (prices ex-VAT, plus inc 20% VAT).
list_starter_recipes
List ChefSums's library of pre-costed UK starter recipes (pub, cafe, restaurant and takeaway dishes) with their base portions and ingredient cost per portion in GBP. Use the slug with get_recipe_prep_sheet. Optional 'search' filters by name (case-insensitive).
build
build_prep_list
Build a kitchen prep list from par levels: for each item give the par (the amount you want ready for service) and the amount on hand; prep quantity = par minus on hand, never below zero. Groups items by station.
calculate
calculate_gp
UK gross profit (GP) calculator for food and drink. mode 'gp_from_price': give cost_ex_vat and selling_price_inc_vat to get GP % and GP per sale (VAT is removed first, as UK hospitality measures it). mode 'price_from_gp': give cost_ex_vat and target_gp_pct to get the menu price needed.
cost
cost_recipe
Cost any recipe from its ingredients. For each ingredient give the pack price, the pack size and the quantity used (same unit as the pack size, e.g. grams). Returns each line cost, batch cost, cost per portion and a suggested menu price from a target food cost % (default 30%), ex-VAT and inc-VAT. open_in_prepsheet_url opens this exact recipe in the free ChefSums tool (no sign-in), where the user can edit, scale, print and save it; the recipe travels in the link itself and is not stored by ChefSums.
recipe
get_recipe_prep_sheet
Get a printable-style prep sheet for one ChefSums starter recipe, scaled to a number of covers (portions): every ingredient quantity scaled, the method, and the costing (batch cost, cost per portion, suggested menu price ex and inc 20% VAT). Example: slug 'cottage-pie', covers 80.

PrepSheet — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PrepSheet do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: build_prep_list, calculate_gp, cost_recipe, get_recipe_prep_sheet, get_starter_menu, list_starter_recipes. 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 PrepSheet working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 187 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect PrepSheet?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does PrepSheet need an API key?
No. PrepSheet completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is PrepSheet?
It answers our handshake in 187 ms on average, which is faster than 74% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
