What is the ReciPal MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire food manufacturing and recipe auditing workflow with ReciPal, the specialized source for nutritional labeling data. By connecting ReciPal to your agent, you transform complex ingredient analysis into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve recipe details, audit calorie counts, and query ingredient lists without you ever touching a labeling portal. Whether you are conducting product research or managing regional dietary constraints, your agent acts as a real-time nutritional consultant, ensuring your data is always verified and precise.
What you can do
- Recipe Auditing — Retrieve high-resolution details for all recipes in your catalog, including names, calorie counts, and serving metadata.
- Ingredient Oversight — Audit the available ingredients in the ReciPal database to understand the thematic distribution of components instantly.
- Nutritional Intelligence — Query full nutritional breakdowns for specific recipes to assist in deep-dive dietary classification.
- Resource Discovery — Retrieve unique recipe identifiers to help you identify relevant markers for your food products.
- Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your nutritional research workflow is always operational.

- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my ReciPal API Key?
Log in to your ReciPal account, navigate to your account settings, and you will find your API Key in the integrations or developer section. Copy and paste it below.
Can the agent show serving sizes?
Yes. Every recipe record retrieved by your agent includes serving size metadata and the number of servings per recipe.
Does it support ingredient lists?
Yes. The get_recipe_details tool retrieves the full list of ingredients used in a specific recipe, along with their weights.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
