ReelsMeals missed 3 checks 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 16

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

kitchen

get_kitchen_preferences

Fetch household food preferences, constraints, equipment, and planning notes.

update_kitchen_preferences

Update household food preferences, constraints, equipment, cooking goal, and planning notes. The ReelsMeals app edits the same record. Each list keeps up to 50 items; a new item longer than 80 characters is shortened, while items already stored are kept as they are.

public

get_public_recipe

Use this after search_public_recipes to read published ingredients and instructions. Cite reelsmealsUrl and the original creator/source. Does not read a private cookbook and does not invent missing steps or quantities.

search_public_recipes

Use this when someone wants a recipe, cooking inspiration or an existing recipe from a creator, without an account. Searches published ReelsMeals recipes. For the user's own saved recipes use search_my_cookbook instead. Never treats public results as the user's cookbook.

recipe

get_recipe

Use this after searching the user's cookbook to read one of their saved recipes in full by its returned id. Preserve stored ingredients and instructions; cite reelsmealsUrl and the source creator. Use get_public_recipe for an anonymous public result.

update_recipe_tags

Replace the user's custom tags for a saved recipe.

agent

get_agent_activity

Fetch recent ReelsMeals MCP tool activity for audit and replay.

build

build_shopping_list

Read the stored shopping list, including typed items and basket ticks. An optional plan_id verifies ownership. Explicit recipe_ids preview ingredients without changing the list.

cookbook

search_my_cookbook

Use this when the user asks about their own saved recipes, bookmarked meals or personal cookbook. Search by dish, tags, maker or description. For general recipe discovery use search_public_recipes. Requires a connected account and paid plan.

import

import_recipe_from_url

Use this when the user asks to import or save a supported recipe URL into their own cookbook. It writes to the cookbook and may enqueue extraction. For an entire saved Instagram collection or many links, use get_reelsmeals_setup for the batch import page instead. Ask before saving.

mark

mark_recipe_cooked

Record that the user cooked a saved recipe, optionally saving a note.

plan

plan_week_from_saved

Choose this week's dinners from saved recipes and replace the previous plan ingredients on the shopping list. Keeps typed items. Does not persist a meal plan.

recent

list_recent_recipes

List the user's recently saved recipes in summary form.

reelsmeals

get_reelsmeals_setup

Use this when the user asks to save or import recipe links, migrate saved Instagram recipes, connect their cookbook, or create a ReelsMeals account. Returns setup links and the agent signup protocol. Public recipe search is free. Private cookbook actions require sign-in, user approval and a paid ReelsMeals plan. Does not create an account or charge anyone by itself.

save

save_recipe_note

Save or replace a user note on a saved recipe.

weekly

create_weekly_meal_plan

Use this only when the user asks to save a weekly dinner plan from their cookbook. It replaces the saved plan for that week, so confirm replacement first. For choosing dinners and updating only the shopping list use plan_week_from_saved.

ReelsMeals — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can ReelsMeals do?

It exposes 16 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: build_shopping_list, create_weekly_meal_plan, get_agent_activity, get_kitchen_preferences, get_public_recipe, get_recipe and 10 more. 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 →

What is ReelsMeals mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around kitchen, public and recipe. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is ReelsMeals 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 247 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect ReelsMeals?

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 ReelsMeals need an API key?

No. ReelsMeals completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 16 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is ReelsMeals?

It answers our handshake in 247 ms on average, which is faster than 57% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
