Common questions

Is Pantry Aide safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 (1.0.0) reached the registry 5 months 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?

Pantry Aide — MCP Server 🐴

Plan your week's meals and fill your grocery cart — without leaving your AI assistant.

Pantry Aide is a hosted (remote) Model Context Protocol server that runs the entire meal‑plan‑to‑checkout journey on behalf of a signed‑in user.

Most meal‑planning tools stop at *"here's a plan."* Pantry Aide closes the loop to actual groceries:

Plan — generate a weekly meal plan (mains + sides) from your own recipes, honoring a free‑text request like *"mostly chicken, nothing too hard."*
Shop list — build a pantry‑aware shopping list that automatically skips staples you likely already have, then refine it.
Checkout — push the list to your live Kroger cart, or generate an Instacart deep link.

All from chat: *"Plan 5 easy dinners this week, swap Tuesday for something lighter, then send the cart to Kroger."*

Connecting

The server speaks Streamable HTTP at:

https://pantryaide.com/mcp

You need a free Pantry Aide account. Kroger checkout requires connecting a Kroger account once in the web app; Instacart works without extra setup.

Option A — OAuth one‑click (Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude for Work)

Add a custom connector / integration pointing at https://pantryaide.com/mcp. The server advertises OAuth 2.1 discovery and Dynamic Client Registration, so the client walks you through sign‑in automatically — no manual token needed.

Option B — Bearer API key (Cursor, Windsurf, custom clients)

Sign in at pantryaide.com and generate an API key (looks like pa_live_…).
Add the server to your client config:

Native remote transport (header auth):

"mcpServers": { "pantry-aide": { "url": "https://pantryaide.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer pa_live_YOUR_KEY" } } } }

Via `mcp-remote` (for stdio‑only clients):

"mcpServers": { "pantry-aide": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://pantryaide.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer pa_live_YOUR_KEY" ] } } }
