Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted MCP server that lets an assistant plan weekly meals from your recipes, build pantry-aware shopping lists, and push them to a Kroger cart or Instacart…

What you can do
  • Browse, read, create, edit, save and delete recipes, including public recipe discovery
  • Generate weekly meal plans, list and inspect them, and swap, add or remove planned meals
  • Build pantry-aware shopping lists from a plan, adjust items and add custom items
  • Match list items to Kroger products, choose alternatives and submit the cart
  • Create an Instacart deep link for the selected items
When to use it
Use it when you want meal planning and grocery ordering handled inside chat: turning your own recipes into a weekly plan, refining the list, and sending it to Kroger or Instacart without switching apps.
Requirements
Remote Streamable HTTP endpoint at pantryaide.com/mcp. A free Pantry Aide account is required; OAuth sign-in is supported, or a bearer API key (pa_live_...) in the Authorization header for clients such as Cursor or Windsurf. Kroger checkout needs a Kroger account connected once in the web app; Instacart needs no extra setup.
Before you install
Requires sign-in and, for some clients, an API key sent as a bearer token. Submitting a Kroger cart writes to your live Kroger cart and is marked destructive, so review before confirming. Recipe deletion is also destructive. Your recipes, plans and shopping data are stored by a hosted commercial service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Pantry Aide in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.pantryaide%2Fpantry-aide/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

Pantry Aide — MCP Server 🐴

Plan your week's meals and fill your grocery cart — without leaving your AI assistant.

Pantry Aide is a hosted (remote) Model Context Protocol server that runs the entire meal‑plan‑to‑checkout journey on behalf of a signed‑in user.

Most meal‑planning tools stop at "here's a plan." Pantry Aide closes the loop to actual groceries:

  1. Plan — generate a weekly meal plan (mains + sides) from your own recipes, honoring a free‑text request like "mostly chicken, nothing too hard."
  2. Shop list — build a pantry‑aware shopping list that automatically skips staples you likely already have, then refine it.
  3. Checkout — push the list to your live Kroger cart, or generate an Instacart deep link.

All from chat: "Plan 5 easy dinners this week, swap Tuesday for something lighter, then send the cart to Kroger."

Connecting

The server speaks Streamable HTTP at:

https://pantryaide.com/mcp

You need a free Pantry Aide account. Kroger checkout requires connecting a Kroger account once in the web app; Instacart works without extra setup.

Option A — OAuth one‑click (Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude for Work)

Add a custom connector / integration pointing at https://pantryaide.com/mcp. The server advertises OAuth 2.1 discovery and Dynamic Client Registration, so the client walks you through sign‑in automatically — no manual token needed.

Option B — Bearer API key (Cursor, Windsurf, custom clients)

  1. Sign in at pantryaide.com and generate an API key (looks like pa_live_…).
  2. Add the server to your client config:

Native remote transport (header auth):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "pantry-aide": {      "url": "https://pantryaide.com/mcp",      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer pa_live_YOUR_KEY" }    }  }}

Via mcp-remote (for stdio‑only clients):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "pantry-aide": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://pantryaide.com/mcp",        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer pa_live_YOUR_KEY"      ]    }  }}
