What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
search_recipesSearches Chop It's catalogue of 1,000+ tested recipes and returns recipe cards (title, photo, time, tags, protein) with links into the app. Suits dinner ideas, a named dish, protein, cuisine or dietary need, or ideas built around ingredients the user mentions. Structured filters
prepare_weekly_menuCompatibility planning entry point for older callers. create_weekly_menu is the main planner. Opens the optional weekly planning chooser in the widget: the user picks a protein mix (a balanced default is offered, such as 2 chicken, 1 fish and 1 veg for four dinners) and people pe
create_weekly_menuMain entry point for planning dinners. Builds a draft week of dinners from Chop It's catalogue, including broad requests such as 'plan five dinners' with a balanced protein mix adapted to food rules. Each dinner slot gets up to five equal recipe choices and none is selected until
create_shopping_listBuilds one consolidated, aisle-organised shopping list from a completed menu draft (menuDraftId) or a set of recipes (recipeIds: catalogue, the user's own, or both), merging duplicate ingredients and scaling to servings. Returns shoppingListId, the source draft and recipes, and c
shop_weekBuilds the shopping list for the exact completed menuDraftId and returns its summary and Chop it review URL in one call. Never purchases anything. Leaves Saved Weeks and This Week unchanged. Requires a linked Chop It account.
open_shop_handoffCreates a time-limited Chop It review link for the groceries still to buy on a shopping list (or a menu draft's list) at its current revision. On that page the user reviews and ticks off the list; any purchase happens on a supermarket's own site. This tool buys nothing. Requires
get_shopping_listReturns the latest saved revision of a shopping list: lines with stable IDs, which are ticked off (excluded) or partly covered, and the revision number that update_shopping_list and open_shop_handoff take. Saved state here supersedes earlier conversation output. Lists expire afte
update_shopping_listTicks off, unticks or partly covers lines on a shopping list ('I already have rice', 'I only need 200g more'). Takes shoppingListId, expectedRevision and changes keyed by line ID (excluded or coveredQuantity), all from get_shopping_list. Changes only what to buy; recipes and pant
get_menu_draftReturns the current state of a menu draft: dinner slots and their labels, the offered choices, what is selected and locked, servings and slotIssues. Useful before an edit, after the user has chosen dinners in the widget, or whenever the latest menuDraftId is uncertain. Follows re
revise_weekly_menuChanges a menu draft and returns the updated draft with a new menuDraftId; unrelated dinners, locks, dietary rules and pantry choice are kept. Operations: select one offered choice for a slot (slotId + replacementRecipeId, which also locks it); select several offered recipes toge
save_weekCanonical saving operation. Saves a completed menu draft (every dinner selected) as a reusable Saved Week, keeping the exact recipes, order, slot labels, locks and per-dinner servings. Returns savedWeekId alongside the menuDraftId; create_shopping_list accepts that same menuDraft
list_saved_weeksLists the user's Saved Weeks with their dinners and savedWeekId, for browsing or picking a week to reuse. Pass nextOffset as offset until hasMore is false to read all weeks. Collect all pages before editing; restart if records change during the read. A week saved earlier in this
open_saved_weekCreates a private, editable menu draft copied from a Saved Week, keeping its dinner order and servings, and returns its menuDraftId for revise_weekly_menu, save_week or create_shopping_list. The Saved Week and This Week are unchanged. Requires a linked Chop It account.
set_this_weekMakes a Saved Week the user's This Week (the week the Chop It app shows for cooking) as an independent working copy with the same servings. Replaces the current This Week; the Saved Week stays reusable. Returns the working copy servings, or null when unset. To change portions, op
rename_saved_weekRenames one of the user's Saved Weeks by savedWeekId. Its dinners, servings and This Week are unchanged. Idempotent for the same title. Requires a linked Chop It account.
delete_saved_weekPermanently deletes one of the user's Saved Weeks by savedWeekId; irreversible, so it suits an explicit request that names the week. expectedTitle is the week's current title as list_saved_weeks shows it; a mismatch, or a week that is currently This Week, is refused and nothing i
save_discovered_recipeSaves a Chop It catalogue recipe, unchanged, into the user's own library, reusing the existing copy if they already saved it. Takes a recipeId from search_recipes, get_recipe or a menu draft and returns the library copy's own recipeId and appUrl. Requires a linked Chop It account
share_weekCreates a public link to one of the user's Saved Weeks (savedWeekId) so others can preview it and import a copy. Anyone with the link can see the dinners and recipe contents, so it suits a request to share. Draft IDs are private and are never share codes. Requires a linked Chop I
preview_shared_weekShows the dinners and cooking details behind a shared week link (shareCode). Available without an account and changes nothing.
import_shared_weekCopies a shared week (shareCode) into the user's account: its recipes join their library and a private menu draft is created, returned as menuDraftId for review, save_week or shopping. The source week and the user's This Week are unchanged. Requires a linked Chop It account.
start_recipeReturns the brief for writing a recipe to Chop It's library standard (structure, UK ingredient names, metric quantities, method detail), pantry context when the user wants to cook from their pantry, and a recipeDraftToken. save_recipe checks a recipe against the brief named by th
save_recipeSaves a structured recipe to the user's Chop It library: one read from a cookbook photo, one created with the user, or a corrected import. Takes the recipeDraftToken from start_recipe; the recipe is checked against that brief (UK ingredient names and metric quantities, ingredient
import_recipe_from_urlImports a recipe from a link (TikTok, Instagram or any recipe website), or from pasted caption text when the link can't be read, restructures it to Chop It's recipe standard and saves it to the user's library. A needs_review result carries a preview and the issues found; the corr
import_recipe_from_imageImports a recipe from a photo (cookbook page, screenshot or handwritten card) given a fetchable http(s) imageUrl, restructures it to Chop It's recipe standard and saves it to the user's library. A needs_review result carries a preview and the issues found, for correction with sav
list_saved_recipesLists recipes in the user's Chop It library, the same ones the app shows (including anything imported or saved in this chat), most recently updated first. returned is this page and total is the whole library. Pass nextOffset as offset until hasMore is false; one page is not the w
get_recipeReturns one complete recipe by recipeId: ingredients with quantities, method steps, timings and photo. Accepts IDs from search_recipes, a menu draft, a week or list_saved_recipes, for catalogue recipes and the user's own saved recipes alike. servings scales simple ingredient amou
get_pantryLists the items in the user's Chop It pantry (name, location, quantity, how full, expiry), the same pantry the app shows. Relevant when the user wants to cook from what they have or use things up; general dinner ideas don't need it. Live pantry data supersedes remembered or earli
update_pantryUpdates the user's Chop It pantry from what they've bought, have or used up: add items (topping up existing ones), remove by name, or change or remove exact rows by pantryItemId. On add, location places stock directly in pantry, fridge or freezer; only compatible items in that lo
save_menuCompatibility save-and-activate operation for older callers. save_week followed by set_this_week provides the canonical explicit saving and activation workflow. Saves a completed menu draft as a Saved Week and makes it This Week in one step, the combined action the Chop It app us
get_my_weekReturns the dinners currently set as This Week in the user's Chop It app, with recipe links: the week they are cooking now. Answers 'what's for dinner tonight?' or 'what's on this week?' without planning anything new. Drafts and Saved Weeks do not change it. Read-only. Requires a
update_recipeReviews changes to 1–20 recipes with action preview and changes; read every library page first for whole-library work. mode update tidies only titles, descriptions and tags. mode copy creates separate private recipes, protecting originals and all existing plans. Adaptations need
delete_recipePermanently deletes one of the user's own saved recipes, such as a duplicate or a bad import. It cannot be undone, so it suits a request where the user has confirmed which recipe to delete. Catalogue recipes can't be deleted. Requires a linked Chop It account.
get_food_preferencesReturns the account's food preferences, the same record the app's Food preferences settings show: the diet (none, vegetarian, vegan or pescatarian), the foods to avoid (fourteen common foods such as milk, eggs, peanuts or gluten) and dislikes (other foods the household doesn't ea
update_food_preferencesChanges the account's food preferences: diet, foods to avoid and dislikes, in plain words. Omitted fields keep their current value; a supplied list replaces that list whole, so a change to one item is sent as the full updated list (get_food_preferences gives the current one). Ret
get_widget_sessionUsed by the Chop it widget itself to load screens. Never call this; it returns nothing useful in chat.

Common questions
Is Chop it: meal planning, recipes, pantry and shopping safe?
It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.34.178) reached the registry 5 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?
