Recommended: set the tools to "Always allow"
In the connector's tool permissions, choose Always allow. Then try it: "Generate a 20-minute spicy vegan noodle bowl, then suggest a substitute for fish sauce."
What your assistant can do
cooksurprise_generate_recipeAI-generate a complete, original recipe from any prompt — ingredients with quantities, step-by-step instructions with timings, macros, and a beverage pairing.
cooksurprise_browse_recipesBrowse the curated recipe collection by cuisine, diet, mood, tag, or max total time — full recipes with ingredients, steps, timing, and macros.
cooksurprise_cooking_assistantAsk a cooking question — substitutions, techniques, scaling, or storage — and get an answer with related topics and next steps.
And because your assistant reasons over the results, whole workflows come free: "generate a recipe for what's in my fridge and scale it for four", "find me a 15-minute vegetarian dinner", "what can I swap for buttermilk?" Pair it with MixSurprise for a matching cocktail, too.
How usage works
- ✓ Browsing the curated recipe collection is always free.
- ✓ The free tier includes a daily allowance of recipe generation and cooking-assistant questions — no credit card.
- ✓ When you hit the daily cap, your assistant tells you and links to upgrade — nothing fails silently.
- ✓ Need more volume? Higher tiers are available via the Keelara API console.
Privacy
- ✓ Prompts you send to generate a recipe are processed to produce the result and not used to train AI models.
- ✓ Access is tied to your Keelara sign-in.
- ✓ See our privacy policy for details.
Beyond Claude
CookSurprise MCP follows the open Model Context Protocol, so the same URL works in any MCP-compatible client — ChatGPT (Apps/developer mode), Cursor, agent frameworks, and AWS Bedrock agent stacks. Point the client at the server URL above and authenticate with a Keelara account.
Troubleshooting
- Tools look outdated or missing? Remove and re-add the connector — clients pin the tool list when you first connect.
- "Daily limit reached"? You've used today's free recipe generations — they reset tomorrow, or upgrade for more.
