Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, this MCP works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Does it handle both weight and volume?

Yes, the engine uses specific rounding logic for different units to ensure measurements are practical.

How does it handle decimal measurements?

It uses the format_culinary_units capability to turn decimals into readable strings like tablespoons and teaspoons.

Will the recipe proportions stay the same?

Yes, the scaling capability is designed to maintain culinary proportions when changing serving sizes.

Do I need to host this myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP so it is ready to use immediately after connection.

How does the scaling engine maintain recipe integrity?

The engine calculates a precise scaling ratio by dividing target servings by original servings. It then applies this ratio uniformly to every ingredient in the ingredientsList via the scale_ingredients capability, ensuring flavor and texture profiles remain unchanged.

Will I get unusable decimal measurements?

No. The engine uses format_culinary_units to convert raw decimals into practical, human-readable strings. It breaks down complex quantities into standard kitchen units (e.g., converting parts of a tablespoon into teaspoons) based on the precision determined by resolve_measurement_precision.

Does it support both Metric and US Imperial systems?

Yes. The engine is designed to respect both the US Imperial (ounces, pounds, tablespoons) and Metric (grams, kilograms, milliliters) standards, adjusting its precision logic accordingly.

How do I scale a recipe for more people?

You can use the get_scaled_recipe capability by providing the original recipe object and the number of people you want to serve.

Can I check if my recipe data is valid?

Yes, use the validate_recipe_structure capability to verify that your recipe object contains all necessary fields like servings and ingredient details.

What happens to the units when I scale?

The units (like grams or cups) remain the same; only the numerical quantity is multiplied by the serving ratio.

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

Scaling for Large Groups

Your agent takes a recipe meant for 4 and scales it for 50 without losing proportion.

Converting Measurements

The agent turns a decimal like 0.75 tablespoons into 2.25 teaspoons for easier measuring.

Yield Adjustments

You tell your agent you only want half the recipe, and it calculates the new amounts.

Unit Precision

The engine ensures mass and volume measurements are rounded to logical kitchen increments.

One connector, every AI

Recipe Scaler 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 Recipe Scaler 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Recipe Scaler, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Recipe Scaler. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
