Does this MCP handle different units of measurement?

Yes. It calculates and aggregates ingredients, ensuring the final list reflects the correct amounts, regardless of the original recipe units.

Can I scale multiple recipes at once?

Absolutely. You can specify multiple recipes and their respective serving sizes, and the MCP will scale every ingredient correctly before generating the final list.

What format is the final shopping list?

The output is a consolidated list, organized by food category (like Proteins or Vegetables) for easy shopping.

Is this useful if I only cook one meal?

While it shines with multiple recipes, you can still use it to check ingredient counts for a single recipe or to scale it for a different number of servings.

How does the consolidation process work?

The generate_shopping_list capability takes your recipe selections and sums quantities for ingredients that have both the same name and the same unit of measurement.

Can I scale a single recipe without merging it with others?

Yes, you can use the scale_recipe capability to see exactly how much of each ingredient you need for a specific number of portions.

How are ingredients categorized?

Ingredients are automatically grouped into categories such as Proteins, Vegetables, Dairy, Pantry, and Fruit to make your shopping trip more efficient.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Planning a large family dinner

Switching diets

You input several recipes that fit a new dietary restriction. The MCP generates a list containing only the required ingredients.

Bulk cooking for a group

You are hosting a gathering and need to cook five different dishes. The MCP compiles all necessary items into one shopping trip list.

Inventory check

One connector, every AI

Batch Cooking Planner works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Batch Cooking Planner to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
