Frequently asked questions about the BigOven MCP Server

Can I search for recipes based on ingredients I have in my fridge?

Yes! Use the search_by_ingredient tool and provide the ingredients you have (e.g., 'chicken, broccoli'). The agent will return recipes you can make.

How do I get the step-by-step instructions for a recipe?

First, find the Recipe ID using the search tools. Then, ask the agent to get_recipe with that ID. It will retrieve the full ingredient list and step-by-step instructions.

Does the integration allow me to add recipes to a grocery list?

Currently, the toolset is focused on public discovery and searching (Read-Only). Managing personal grocery lists requires user-specific OAuth which is managed directly on the BigOven app.
