CookSurprise MCP

Use CookSurprise inside Claude — and any AI agent.

CookSurprise is available as an MCP connector: generate original recipes from any prompt, browse a curated recipe collection, and ask a cooking assistant — right in your AI chat.

Sign in with a free Keelara account during the connect step — one login across the whole Keelara toolkit.

    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_recipe

AI-generate a complete, original recipe from any prompt — ingredients with quantities, step-by-step instructions with timings, macros, and a beverage pairing.

cooksurprise_browse_recipes

Browse the curated recipe collection by cuisine, diet, mood, tag, or max total time — full recipes with ingredients, steps, timing, and macros.

cooksurprise_cooking_assistant

Ask 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  • Tools look outdated or missing?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.

Cook something new — without leaving the chat.
