What it does
The RecipeWeave connector lets AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP) work with your RecipeWeave account. From a chat you can:
- Search public recipes and cook plans, and read them in full, without an account.
- Import recipes from web pages, save public recipes, or create recipes from text you paste.
- Combine up to 10 of your recipes into a cook plan: one timeline so every dish finishes together.
- Edit recipes and cook plans, get grocery lists, and check your monthly allowance.
Every result includes a link to the item on recipeweave.com, where you can use the interactive timeline and live timers.

Permissions
When you connect, RecipeWeave asks for these permissions. The assistant can use only what you approve.
| Permission | Allows the assistant to |
|---|---|
| View your recipes | List and read your recipes, identify your account, and show your usage. |
| Create and edit recipes | Create, import, save, and edit recipes, and request deletion or publishing. |
| View your cook plans | List and read your cook plans. |
| Create and edit cook plans | Create, save, and edit cook plans, and request deletion or publishing. |
| Change your display name and request email changes | Update your display name and request an email change. |
| Keep your connection active between visits | Stay connected without signing in again each time. |
Actions that need your approval
Deleting a recipe or cook plan, publishing one, sending an ingredient email, and changing your email address never happen directly from chat. The assistant gives you a link to recipeweave.com that shows exactly what will happen. Nothing changes until you open it while signed in to the same account and press the button. Links expire after five minutes. Making an item private does not need approval.

Troubleshooting
The assistant says it needs a permission
Disconnect RecipeWeave in the assistant's settings, connect again, and approve all permissions.
An import failed
The site may block automated access. Import it on recipeweave.com instead, or paste the recipe into the chat and ask the assistant to create it.
An approval link says it expired
Ask the assistant to repeat the action to get a fresh link.
