MCP support
Provides Foodie tools through an MCP server that connects Codex, Claude, and ChatGPT to the account’s recipes, meal plan, and shopping list. The server endpoint is https://foodieapi.chewable.fit/mcp.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEChewable Foodie for Codex, Claude and ChatGPT
Use your Foodie recipes, your family's meal plan and your shared shopping list from your AI assistant. Everything you change shows up at once in the Foodie app, for everyone in your family.
Ask things like:
- "Plan dinners for this week from my Foodie recipes"
- "I have eggs, spinach and feta. What can I make?"
- "Add my lasagne to the shopping list as one recipe"
- "Add the ingredients for my lasagne as separate shopping items"
- "Save this recipe to Foodie: https://…" (recipe sites, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube)
- "Walk me through the carbonara, step by step"
- "What did we eat last week?"
Before you start: you need a Foodie account. Sign in once in the Foodie app on iPhone. When the assistant asks you to connect Foodie, sign in with the same Apple ID.
Codex
In the Codex app, or the Codex tab of the ChatGPT desktop app:
- Open Plugins → Add → Add a marketplace.
- Paste
https://github.com/chewablefit/foodie-pluginas the source. Leave Git ref and Sparse paths empty. - Install Chewable Foodie and sign in with Apple.
In Codex CLI, /plugins opens the same plugin browser.
Claude
Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add chewablefit/foodie-plugin
/plugin install chewable-foodie@chewable
From your shell, the same is claude plugin marketplace add chewablefit/foodie-plugin
and claude plugin install chewable-foodie@chewable. Sign in with Apple when
Claude asks to connect the Foodie server.
claude.ai and the Claude desktop app: Settings → Connectors → Add custom
connector. Paste https://foodieapi.chewable.fit/mcp and sign in with Apple.
ChatGPT
A plugin from this repo does not reach ordinary ChatGPT chats yet; that comes with the listing in ChatGPT's plugin directory. Until then, connect the server yourself (needs a paid plan):
- Settings → Security and login → turn on Developer mode.
- Open Plugins, press +, and enter
https://foodieapi.chewable.fit/mcpwith OAuth. Sign in with Apple.
What works where
| Codex | Claude Code | claude.ai, Claude desktop | ChatGPT | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All Foodie tools | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| The Foodie skill (how to use the tools well) | ✓ | ✓ | connector instructions | connector instructions |
| Recipe cards, cook mode with timers, ticking off the list | ✓ | ✓ |
Clients that connect the server without the plugin get the same rules in a shorter form, from the server's own instructions.
Shopping for a recipe
Adding a Foodie recipe puts one entry on the shopping list, linked to the
recipe, with its name and servings. Ask for separate ingredients when you
want individual shopping items instead. The assistant uses
add_recipe_to_shopping_list with recipeId for both: its default adds the
linked recipe; expandIngredients: true adds the ingredients separately.
add_to_shopping_list is for groceries and selected ingredients, not a
replacement for a linked recipe entry.

There is one skill for both. When you change it, bump version in both
plugin.json files so installed copies update.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
