Ptitchef MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI chat to Ptitchef, a French cooking site where home cooks share their recipes. You can ask for recipes by dish or by ingredient, read one in full, and adjust the amounts to the number of people you are cooking for. It is handy if you like cooking, plan meals, or want ideas from what is already in your fridge.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like what can I cook with courgettes and feta. The AI passes your question to this helper, which searches Ptitchef for matching recipes. The helper brings back a list with titles, links, ratings and pictures. If you pick one, the helper reads the full recipe, including ingredients, steps, times, cost and nutrition, and can rescale the amounts to the number of servings you want. Then your AI shows you the answer in the chat.

What it gives back to you

You get back lists of recipes with titles, links, ratings and sometimes pictures, or the full text of one recipe with its ingredients and steps. When you ask for a different number of servings, the ingredient amounts come back recalculated, and the answer tells you when a quantity was rounded. Everything appears in the chat as normal text you can read and copy.
