Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Mealie MCP Server and you get told the day something new turns up.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
MEALIE_URL (Base URL of the Mealie instance, e.g. https://mealie.example.com), MEALIE_API_TOKEN (API token created in Mealie under Settings → API Tokens), MEALIE_READ_ONLY (Exactly 'true' registers only the 18 read tools), MEALIE_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE (Accept-Language header, e.g. de-DE; localises unit and label names), MEALIE_INSECURE_TLS (Exactly 'true' accepts a self-signed certificate, scoped to this connection), MEALIE_ALLOW_TOOLS (Comma-separated tool names or list_* prefixes to register; 'essential' selects a curated preset (default: all tools)), MEALIE_DENY_TOOLS (Comma-separated tool names or list_* prefixes to remove from whatever MEALIE_ALLOW_TOOLS left).
