Calculate cook times in Cursor

Inject `calculate_cooking_time` into your agent workflow to plan your smoke session. It gives you the duration you need without leaving your code. Cursor handles the tool execution directly in your editor. You get the data in your active window instantly.

Get target temps in Cursor

Use `get_target_temperature` to pull the precise internal heat for your protein. It removes the need for digging through cookbooks while your hands are messy. Your agent writes the logic using these values as facts, not guesses. It's the fastest way to get your prep work done.

Validate methods in Cursor

Run `validate_cooking_context` to make sure your heat source matches the cut. It keeps you from making rookie mistakes on expensive beef. This MCP acts as a sanity check for your entire cooking plan. Use it to confirm your strategy — and don't skip this — before you start.
