Turns a meal idea into a categorized shopping list with one-click search links — no accounts, no API keys.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that takes a natural language meal request, generates a structured recipe, consolidates ingredients into a categorized shopping list, and optionally generates pre-filled search URLs for common grocery stores.
Recipe Generation — Describe what you want ("something quick with chicken and rice", "vegan pasta for 4") and get a structured recipe with ingredients, steps, and timing
Shopping List Builder — Consolidates duplicate ingredients across multiple recipes (two recipes need garlic? → combined quantity)
Grocery Category Grouping — Items sorted by store section: produce, dairy, meat, pantry, spices, etc.
Export Formats — Plain text, Markdown, or clickable search links for Amazon Fresh, Walmart, or generic Google Shopping
Save to File — Export your shopping list as a .md or .txt file to open, print, or share
Vague Ingredient Flagging — Flags entries like "some spices" so you know to clarify
Multi-Recipe Merging — Plan a week of meals and get one combined shopping list

No cart automation — Search links open a search or product page on the retailer's site. Adding items to a cart and checking out requires retailer partner API access, which is not available without approval.
No external API keys — Recipe generation relies on the calling AI assistant's own creativity. This server structures and validates the output but does not call external recipe APIs.
Vague ingredients — Terms like "some spices" or "seasoning to taste" are flagged for clarification rather than guessed at.
