What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

cook_tonight
Recipes this person can cook right now with what is already in their kitchen. Use this whenever they ask what to cook, what's for dinner, what they can make without going to the shop, or what to do with what they have. Returns their own saved recipes ranked by how much of each th
list_pantry
Everything in this person's kitchen — pantry, fridge and freezer — with expiry dates where known. Use this when they ask what they have, what is in the fridge, or what is about to go off.
add_pantry_items
Add items to the kitchen. Accepts plain language exactly as a person would say it — "2 lemons", "half a bag of spinach", "chicken thighs". Use this when they mention shopping, unpacking groceries, or having bought something.
list_recipes
The recipes this person has saved, newest first, with the creator each came from. Use this when they ask what they have saved or want to find a recipe by name.
save_recipe
Queue a recipe link to import — an Instagram or TikTok post, or a food blog. Use this when they share a link and want it in their cookbook. Returns { accepted, url } after checking the link and their recipe limit. IT DOES NOT IMPORT THE RECIPE BY ITSELF — do not report it as save
whoami
Which account this connection acts for, their plan, and how many recipes they have saved. Never returns an email address.

Common questions

Is The Pantry Butler 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 (1.1.0) reached the registry 2 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 Business and above.

What can I use instead?
