Recipes MCP — wraps TheMealDB API (free tier, no auth)

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 250+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool	Description
`search_meals`	Search for recipes by meal name. Returns meal IDs, names, and thumbnail images. Use get_meal to fetch full ingredients and cooking instructions.
`get_meal`	Get complete recipe details including ingredients with measurements and step-by-step cooking instructions. Pass a meal ID from search_meals or random_meal.
`random_meal`	Get a random meal recipe with full ingredients and cooking instructions. Use when you need recipe inspiration without a specific search.
`meals_by_ingredient`	Find all recipes using a specific ingredient (e.g., "chicken", "garlic", "pasta"). Returns meal names and IDs to pass to get_meal.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recipes": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/recipes/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Recipes data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
