Works with your AI

Connect MagicMeals to ChatGPT, Claude and other AI

Add MagicMeals to the AI app you already use, then just ask it to save recipes, build your cookbook, fill your shopping list or log what you ate.

Your MagicMeals connector address

Paste it wherever your AI app adds a custom connector or MCP server. You'll sign in to your MagicMeals account and tap Allow the first time.

How it works

1Copy the address. Copy https://magicmeals.app/api/mcp with the button above.
2Add it to your AI app. Add MagicMeals as a custom connector in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini CLI or any app that supports MCP. Steps for each are below.
3Sign in and tap Allow. The first time your AI uses MagicMeals, it opens our sign-in page. Log in or create a free account, check the app's name and tap Allow.
4Ask away. Ask your AI to save recipes, search your cookbook, add to your shopping list or log what you ate. Most apps ask you to OK each change first.

Set up your AI app

Claudeclaude.ai, the desktop app and the mobile apps

Open Settings, then Connectors.
Tap Add custom connector.
Name it MagicMeals, paste the address and tap Add.
Tap Connect, sign in to MagicMeals and tap Allow.
In a chat, turn MagicMeals on from the tools menu if it isn't already.

A connector you add on the web also shows up in the Claude mobile apps. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner may need to add it for the organization first.

ChatGPTchatgpt.com on a paid plan

Open Settings, then Apps & Connectors (sometimes just Apps).
Under Advanced settings, turn on Developer mode.
Tap Create, name it MagicMeals, paste the address and choose OAuth for authentication.
Tick that you trust the app, tap Create, then sign in to MagicMeals and tap Allow.
In a new chat, pick MagicMeals from the + menu, or just mention it.

OpenAI renames these menus now and then. If you can't find them, search ChatGPT's help for "developer mode" connectors.

GeminiGemini CLI

Install Gemini CLI, then run the command below in your terminal.
Start gemini and run /mcp auth magicmeals. A browser opens: sign in to MagicMeals and tap Allow.
Ask Gemini about your recipes, list or diary.

gemini mcp add --transport http magicmeals https://magicmeals.app/api/mcp

The Gemini app and gemini.google.com don't let you add your own connectors yet. Developers can also pass the address to the Gemini API as an MCP tool.

Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and othersany app that supports remote MCP servers

Add a remote (HTTP) MCP server named MagicMeals with the address above. The app takes you through sign-in.

claude mcp add --transport http magicmeals https://magicmeals.app/api/mcp

Things to ask

Questions

Can I just tell ChatGPT or Claude to "use magicmeals.app"?

Not yet on its own. An AI app can only use MagicMeals after you add it once as a connector with the address https://magicmeals.app/api/mcp. It takes about a minute, and after that you can just say "save this to MagicMeals" in any chat.

Do I need a MagicMeals account?

Yes, to save recipes, use your shopping list or log food, so the AI saves to your own cookbook. A free account works. Without one, you can add https://magicmeals.app/api/mcp/public to search public recipes and family cookbooks.

Does it cost anything?

Connecting is free. Your MagicMeals plan's limits still apply: the free plan holds 25 recipes, and the paid plan is unlimited. Saving a link through your AI app doesn't use your AI link lookups, because your AI app reads the recipe itself. Your AI app's own plan and limits apply on its side.

Is it safe?

Your AI app never sees your password. You sign in on magicmeals.app and choose Allow. A connected app can read and add to your recipes, list and diary, but can't delete anything or make a recipe public. You can disconnect it any time in Account.

Which AI apps work?

Claude (web, desktop and mobile), ChatGPT with developer mode, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and any other app that supports remote MCP servers with sign-in.
