Visit Spoonacular API, sign up for a free account, and copy your API key from the dashboard. Free tier includes 150 points/day.
Can I find recipes with ingredients I already have?
Yes! Use recipes_by_ingredient with a comma-separated list of ingredients. The API finds recipes maximizing the use of your available ingredients.
Can I extract recipes from websites?
Absolutely! Use the extract_recipe tool with any recipe URL. It automatically parses the webpage and extracts title, ingredients, instructions, and metadata.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Spoonacular Alternative tools during their conversation turns.
