Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint at plateartists.com over streamable HTTP; no package, account, API key or environment variable is declared.
Before you install
Read-only and free per the description, but results are third-party content: cite the returned page URL so users can check the source. Cooking times and food-safety notes are general guidance, not a substitute for a thermometer or official advice.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Plate Artists in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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.plateartists%2Fplate-artists/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
