In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@tandoor-mcpWhat can I cook with chicken and rice?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
tandoor-mcp
An MCP server for Tandoor Recipes: recipe search and authoring, meal planning, shopping lists, and pantry tracking, exposed as a small set of task-shaped tools rather than one per API endpoint.
See docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-17-tandoor-mcp-design.md for the design
and docs/security.md for the threat model.
Configuration
Copy config.example.yaml to your config directory as config.yaml, or set
the equivalent environment variables. See that file for every key.

Running
npm install
npm run build
TANDOOR_MCP_CONFIG_DIR=./config node dist/src/index.jsMaintainer setup
The OpenAPI drift workflow needs a
TANDOOR_URL repository secret pointing at a real Tandoor instance reachable
from GitHub Actions runners. This is a maintainer-only prerequisite — a
contributor's npm test never needs it, since it runs against recorded
fixtures. See CONTRIBUTING.md.
Push to main over SSH (git@github.com:davidgibbons/tandoor-mcp.git), not
HTTPS with a GITHUB_TOKEN-backed credential — a token without the
workflow scope is rejected pushing any change under .github/workflows/.
