VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyLocation & Lifestyle

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an assistant convert cooking measurements for volume, weight and temperature between common units.

What you can do
Convert volume measurements between ml, l, cup, tbsp and tsp, such as 240 ml to 1 cup. Convert weight measurements between g, kg, oz and lb, such as 454 g to 1 lb. Convert temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit, such as 180°C to 356°F.
When to use it
Useful when following or adapting recipes that mix metric and imperial units, or when an assistant needs quick, consistent cooking measurement conversions without doing the arithmetic itself.
Requirements
Runs as a local Python process installed from the PyPI package mcp-units, typically launched with uvx or uv pip. No accounts, API keys or environment variables are declared. Desktop use only; it is not a web-executable server.
Before you install
Conversions are limited to the listed cooking units and temperature scales, so results outside that scope should not be assumed. No credentials, payments or data-writing actions are shown.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Mcp Units in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
