Frequently asked questions
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.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
