Use Mr. Cook with Claude and other AI assistants

Connect Mr. Cook to Claude, ChatGPT or another AI assistant, and it works directly with your recipes, cookbooks, shopping list and meal plan. Everything it saves shows up right away in the Mr. Cook app on your phone. 🙌

What your assistant can do

• Save recipes it writes or adapts for you, with ingredients, steps, servings and times

• Import recipes from websites and from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest or Facebook links (counts toward your import limit)

• Search your saved recipes by name or by the ingredients you have at home

• Open a full recipe, mark favorites, edit your recipes and add them to your cookbooks

• Plan meals for the week, and move or remove planned meals

• Add ingredients to your shopping list, change amounts, check items off or remove them

Try asking: “Save this recipe to Mr. Cook”, “What can I cook with leeks and potatoes?”, “Plan dinners for next week from my favorites” or “Put the missing ingredients on my shopping list”.

Connect Claude

1. In Claude, open Customize → Connectors, search for Mr. Cook and select Connect. Or open Settings → AI assistants in Mr. Cook on the web and select Connect Claude.

2. Sign in with your Mr. Cook account (or create a free one) and allow access.

3. Start a chat and ask Claude to save a recipe, plan your meals or fill your shopping list.

Connect ChatGPT or another assistant

1. In your assistant, add a custom connector (also called an MCP server) with this URL: https://www.mrcook.app/api/mcp

2. Sign in with your Mr. Cook account and allow access.

What your assistant can and can't change

Your assistant only acts when you ask it to. It asks you before it overwrites or removes anything, such as editing a recipe or removing items from your shopping list. It can't delete recipes, cookbooks or whole lists.

Your data

Your assistant only gets the data it asks for to answer your request, such as the recipes it searched for or the items on your shopping list. Mr. Cook doesn't receive your conversations. What the assistant does with that data is covered by its own privacy policy (for Claude, Anthropic's). Read more in our privacy policy.

Disconnect

Open Settings → AI assistants in Mr. Cook on the web and select Disconnect next to the assistant. It loses access immediately. You can also remove the connector in your assistant's settings.
