What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 11, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
health_checkConfirm the Sous Chef MCP server is reachable.
list_my_recipesList the authenticated user's saved Sous Chef recipes. Use this before editing when the user refers to a recipe by name instead of id.
display_recipePresents a complete recipe in Sous Chef's interactive recipe card (servings, ingredients, steps, cooking mode, validated edits, Undo). Prefer this over plain chat formatting whenever you generate, retrieve, or substantially revise a full recipe — including ordinary requests like
get_recipeReturns the saved canonical recipe from your library or the public catalog. In-progress cooking edits live in sessions and are not returned here.
add_recipeCreates a NEW recipe in your library only when the user explicitly asks to save/add it or taps Save in the recipe card. For a newly generated recipe the user has not chosen to keep, use display_recipe instead. Does not update existing recipes — to change a saved recipe use update
update_recipeDeliberately updates allowed fields on a saved recipe in your library. Supports title, subtitle, summary, description, images, meta, and notes only; images and notes replace the whole array. Does not change ingredients or steps — use apply_recipe_patches for cooking-time edits in
apply_recipe_patchesValidate and apply explicit edits. Pass recipeId for a persisted cooking session, or pass the full recipe payload from display_recipe to edit an unsaved card without persistence. Does NOT modify the saved recipe in your library.
revert_recipe_editDrop a patch group by requestId. Pass recipeId/sessionId for persisted edits, or pass the displayed card's baseRecipe and remaining patch history for a pure unsaved-card Undo. Unknown requestIds are idempotent no-ops.
set_measurement_systemSet measurements without ingredient patches. Pass recipeId for saved session state, or pass the full recipe payload from display_recipe to update an unsaved card without persistence.
delete_recipePermanently delete a recipe owned by the authenticated user from their Sous Chef library. This cannot delete public catalog recipes.
share_recipeCreates (or refreshes) a public Sous Chef link for a recipe and returns the URL. Only call when the user explicitly asks to share a recipe. The page is public, anyone with the link can view it, and it is indexed by search engines; the link shows the recipe as it currently looks,

Common questions
Is Sous Chef safe?
It passed 4 of 4 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 3 months ago, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 9 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 on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

Sous Chef MCP
Cook, save, and edit recipes from Cursor and other compatible MCP clients.
This repository is the public distribution package for the hosted Sous Chef MCP server. It contains connection manifests, documentation, and brand assets; the Sous Chef application and service source code are maintained separately.
Install in Cursor
Marketplace installation will be available after Cursor review. To test this package locally before then:
- Clone this repository directly into Cursor's local plugin folder:
git clone https://github.com/mysouschef/sous-chef-mcp.git \
~/.cursor/plugins/local/sous-chef
It must be a real directory. Cursor refuses a symlink whose target sits outside ~/.cursor/plugins/local, and it does so silently — the rejection appears only in Cursor's plugin log, never in the UI.
- Restart Cursor or run Developer: Reload Window.
- Open Customize, confirm that Sous Chef appears under Plugins, and enable its MCP server. It appears under MCPs only once the plugin itself is enabled.
- Ask Cursor to display a recipe. Sign in with Sous Chef when you first save a recipe or access your private library.
The package uses Cursor's static OAuth support with authorization code + PKCE. No client secret, API key, or manually copied access token is required.
Saving is always explicit
Displaying a recipe does not save it. Sous Chef only adds a recipe to your private library after you explicitly ask to save it or use the recipe card's Save action. Conversational edits are validated and applied to a working session; they do not mutate the saved original recipe.
Supported tools
Sous Chef currently advertises exactly these ten MCP tools:
health_checkchecks service availability.display_recipevalidates and displays a recipe without saving it.list_my_recipeslists recipes in the signed-in user's private library.get_recipeopens one saved recipe.add_recipeexplicitly saves a new recipe.update_recipereplaces a recipe only when explicitly requested.apply_recipe_patchesvalidates and applies structured edits to a cooking session.revert_recipe_editundoes the latest complete edit turn.set_measurement_systemchanges displayed measurements without rewriting ingredients.delete_recipepermanently deletes one recipe after host confirmation.
URL import and public recipe search are not exposed through this MCP package.
Cursor can render Sous Chef's interactive recipe card through MCP Apps. Every tool result also includes ordinary text and structured content, so recipes and actions remain readable in compatible hosts that do not render the card.
Data and network access
The manifests connect only to the hosted Sous Chef MCP endpoint:
https://mcp.mysouschef.app/mcp— MCP requests and recipe operations.
That endpoint publishes OAuth metadata for Sous Chef's Auth0 tenant at https://dev-zil2o04swu7qnals.us.auth0.com, which handles sign-in and issues short-lived access tokens. Protected recipe operations are sent to the MCP endpoint with that token. The package does not include analytics, local executables, background scripts, client secrets, or access tokens.
Recipe content and account identifiers are processed to provide the requested recipe operation. Private-library actions require sign-in; anonymous recipe display does not persist a library row. See the live policies for retention, deletion, and third-party processing details:

The MIT license in this repository applies only to this public distribution package. It does not grant a license to Sous Chef's private application, service, model prompts, or infrastructure source code.
