MCP Recipes runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 264 installs a week from npm. Last commit 2 Nov 2026.
Search six recipe sites at once, in French, English and Spanish, and scale quantities.
Today is the operative word: we check MCP Recipes every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
