This Connector takes that math off your plate. You just tell your agent how many people you're feeding, and it handles the heavy lifting. You get a list of ingredients that actually makes sense for a kitchen, not a calculator.
What Vinkius changes
You get perfectly proportioned recipes with practical measurements every time.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about Recipe Scaler Engine.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the Recipe Scaler MCP handle large-scale catering orders?
Yes, it's designed to scale recipes to any number of servings while maintaining the exact proportions of the original dish.
Will the Recipe Scaler MCP give me measurements I can actually use?
Absolutely. It converts messy decimals into standard kitchen units like tablespoons and teaspoons so you don't have to guess.
Can I use the Recipe Scaler MCP for professional food blogging?
Yes, it's a great way to ensure that your recipes remain consistent and accurate when you provide 'servings for X' options for your readers.
Does the Recipe Scaler MCP change the flavor of my food?
No, it preserves the original ingredient ratios perfectly, ensuring the taste remains the same regardless of the batch size.
How does the Recipe Scaler MCP handle different types of measurements?
It intelligently rounds different units like volume vs. weight to make sure the results are practical for real-world cooking.
Can I use the Recipe Scaler MCP to scale a recipe for a specific number of guests?
You just tell your agent the target number of people, and it will do the math for every ingredient in the list.
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.
