PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Games, sports, food & learning

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 19 things (tools) preview_meal_plan, prepare_meal_plan_import, commit_meal_plan_import, get_image_generation_batch …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • preview_meal_plan

    Use when the user asks to review a meal plan without adding it to RecipeBee. This chat-only, data-only tool never writes recipes or meal plans and does not render a RecipeBee card.

  • prepare_meal_plan_import

    Use only after the user explicitly asks to add a completed meal plan to RecipeBee. This stateful, data-only step checks private recipes for exact or possible matches and creates a short-lived import draft without creating recipes or a meal plan or rendering a RecipeBee card. Do n

  • commit_meal_plan_import

    Use after prepare_meal_plan_import. Submit exactly one decision for every recipe. Use use_existing only with a recipe ID returned by preparation and only after the user chooses it; otherwise use create_new. This creates one private meal plan and its entries atomically, then rende

  • get_image_generation_batch

    Read the progress of an optional RecipeBee image-generation batch returned by a meal-plan import. This tool never starts, charges, or cancels image generation; the user must confirm the batch in RecipeBee.

  • list_saved_recipes

    Browse or search the connected user's private RecipeBee recipe library. Use only when the user asks to browse or search saved recipes. Returns a small paginated summary; use show_recipe only for a recipe the user selects.

  • list_saved_meal_plans

    Browse or search the connected user's private RecipeBee meal plans. Use only when the user asks to browse or search meal plans. Returns paginated summaries; use show_meal_plan only for a plan the user selects.

  • show_meal_plan

    Read the selected private meal plan and its scheduled recipes. Use only after the user selects or names a plan. This tool is read-only and does not edit the plan.

  • open_recipebee_kitchen

    Open the connected user's private recipe and meal-plan library in the ChatGPT sidebar. The app reads only the library section the user opens.

  • preview_recipe

    Use when the user asks to preview or review a complete recipe without saving it. Include realistic integer prep_time_minutes, cook_time_minutes, and total_time_minutes values in every complete recipe. Estimate them when the user does not specify times; use 0 only when that part g

  • attach_instruction_image

    Use after a structured recipe is saved and the user asks to attach its photos. Use the returned canonical stage/action ID and latest content revision. Supply a transferable host file descriptor or accessible HTTPS image URL, only with established reuse permission. Do not scrape p

  • update_recipe_content

    Use only after reading the saved recipe with show_recipe and receiving a direct request to change its ingredients or instructions. Send the full content document and its current revision. Preserve existing section and item IDs for unchanged content; omitted sections or actions ar

  • get_instruction_image

    Read one attachment operation returned by attach_instruction_image. Never resave the recipe to retry a photo. Use show_recipe after completion to refresh the full recipe view.

  • remove_instruction_image

    Use only after the user asks to remove a specific stage or action photo. Read the latest recipe first and supply its content revision plus the photo operation ID. Removal is permanent for this photo; it does not change recipe text or require another photo.

  • save_recipe

    Use when the user explicitly asks to save a complete recipe privately. Include realistic integer prep_time_minutes, cook_time_minutes, and total_time_minutes values in every complete recipe. Estimate them when the user does not specify times; use 0 only when that part genuinely t

  • save_recipe_with_image

    Save a complete recipe privately and request RecipeBee image generation. Image generation may reserve existing RecipeBee image credits or consume a free-tier image allowance. When the client declares form-elicitation support, the server requires an accepted signed confirmation fo

  • show_recipe

    Use after attach_recipe_image or generate_recipe_image to render the current authoritative private recipe and image status, or when the user explicitly asks to view an existing recipe. Do not call immediately after save_recipe or save_recipe_with_image because those tools already

  • attach_recipe_image

    Use when the user wants to attach an image generated or uploaded in the current MCP client conversation to an existing private RecipeBee recipe. Prefer the Apps SDK file input when MCP client supplies file with download_url and file_id. Use image_url only for a URL selected or up

  • generate_recipe_image

    Request RecipeBee image generation for an existing private recipe. Generation may reserve existing RecipeBee image credits or consume a free-tier image allowance. When the client declares form-elicitation support, the server requires an accepted signed confirmation form bound to

  • get_recipe_image

    Check the private AI image status for an existing RecipeBee recipe after image generation was requested.

Common questions

Is RecipeBee safe?

It passed 3 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 (0.4.5) reached the registry 17 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?

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

RecipeBee plugin

This package connects Cursor, Codex, and other compatible MCP clients to the RecipeBee MCP service. It includes a Cursor plugin manifest, a reusable agent skill, and the production MCP server configuration.

The distributed endpoint is https://recipebee.app/mcp. For local development, temporarily change both mcp.json and .mcp.json to http://localhost:3002/mcp, then restore the production URL before packaging or submission.

Install in Cursor

After the plugin is published, open Cursor's Customize page, find RecipeBee, and select Install. Cursor connects to the hosted MCP server. When a protected action first runs, sign in to RecipeBee and approve the requested OAuth scopes. No API key or local server is required.

For local package testing, link this directory into Cursor's local plugin directory, then run Developer: Reload Window:

mkdir -p ~/.cursor/plugins/local

ln -s /absolute/path/to/recipebee-plugin ~/.cursor/plugins/local/recipebee

The package keeps Cursor's mcp.json separate from .mcp.json, which is used by other plugin hosts. Both files connect to the same production endpoint.

Publish to the Cursor Marketplace

Cursor requires the plugin source to be in a public Git repository. Publish the contents of this directory as the root of a dedicated public repository, then submit that repository URL at cursor.com/marketplace/publish.

Do not make the private RecipeBee application monorepo public. The marketplace package needs only this directory's manifest, MCP configurations, skill, logo, README, and license.

The plugin exposes these workflows:

  • preview_recipe: validate and preview a complete recipe without persistence.
  • preview_meal_plan: preview a complete meal plan without persistence.
  • save_recipe: save a complete recipe privately after the user explicitly requests it and completes RecipeBee OAuth.
  • save_recipe_with_image: save a complete recipe privately and create a RecipeBee-generated food image.
  • attach_recipe_image: attach an image supplied by the connected client or selected in the RecipeBee fallback flow.
  • generate_recipe_image: create an image for an existing private RecipeBee recipe.
  • get_recipe_image: check the status of a generated image.
  • show_recipe: read the authoritative private recipe and image status.
  • prepare_meal_plan_import: validate a complete meal plan, identify matching private recipes, and create a short-lived import draft without creating recipes or a meal plan.
  • commit_meal_plan_import: atomically create the selected new recipes and one private meal plan after explicit recipe choices.
  • get_image_generation_batch: read optional meal-plan image-batch progress without starting or charging image generation.

Users can use ordinary language such as “save this recipe and create an image” or “add this meal plan to RecipeBee.” They do not need to name tools, mention MCP, use browser control, or describe the attachment workflow.

Complete recipes include realistic integer preparation, cooking, and total time values in minutes. When a user does not provide times, the connected model estimates them before invoking RecipeBee.

Meal plans are generated in the conversation first. RecipeBee is invoked only when the user asks for a preview or explicitly asks to add the completed plan. Existing private recipe matches are shown for an explicit use-existing/create-new choice; RecipeBee never silently reuses a recipe.

Meal-plan import and image generation are separate actions. Import creates the private recipes and meal plan first; users can later choose recipes and confirm image generation inside RecipeBee. This keeps free recipe-generation flows from consuming image credits in the host app.

The server advertises protected-resource metadata, OAuth discovery, DCR-compatible public clients, JWKS-backed token verification, and standard MCP Apps resources. Hosts that support MCP Apps receive interactive cards; other clients receive the same structured tool results.

Package contents
