MCP Wikibooks Cookbook runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 144 installs a week from npm. Last commit 21 Sep 2026.
Search the Wikibooks Cookbook, read a recipe and rescale it to any number of servings.
Today is the operative word: we check MCP Wikibooks Cookbook every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
