Metadata is a discovery packet; directory publication and consumer-client acceptance require separate verification. - No sign-in or Authorization header. Compatible clients must support Streamable HTTP. Do not send a member token to this public endpoint. - Tools: search_public_recipes, get_public_recipe, get_meal_planner_info. Search complete free samples and already-public first dinners from recent weekly plans. Read canonical quantities and steps, inspect total versus cooking-only timing, or learn about Plus and its recurring CAD offer. Paid recipes and household plans are excluded; weekly recipes have no inferred dietary labels. - Public recipe samples are not personalized; cooking times are estimates. This endpoint does not read household data, generate a menu, create an Instacart link, change billing, place an order or pay. - Private weekly plans and optional member grocery handoffs use the separate authenticated endpoint below. Public catalog calls and campaign-tagged links do not establish assistant adoption or a paid subscription. ## Subscriber API and MCP beta - Official MCP Registry record: https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers/online.meal-planner%2Fmcp/versions/1.1.0-beta - Registry identity: online.meal-planner/mcp, version 1.1.0-beta. The listing describes the existing member token beta; consumer-client compatibility and paid adoption require separate verification. - MCP endpoint: https://www.meal-planner.online/wp-json/ksl-mp/v1/mcp - Read-only REST OpenAPI specification: https://www.meal-planner.online/wp-content/plugins/ksl-meal-planner/assets/read-only-api.openapi.json - Subscriber token management: https://www.meal-planner.online/connections/ (private; do not crawl as a public source) The connection beta provides read-only access to existing subscriber plan and grocery-list information by default. An explicitly opted-in shopping token also exposes prepare_groceries and create_instacart_handoff for owned private subscriber plans. The handoff sends the full saved grocery list, including pantry checks, to an Instacart shopping-list page; the customer reviews products and completes checkout there. It does not generate plans on demand, change profiles or subscriptions, or place grocery orders. Compatible remote MCP clients must support fixed bearer authentication through an Authorization header. Clients with local stdio support can use scripts/meal-planner-mcp-stdio.py. This beta does not provide native ChatGPT OAuth connector onboarding. Use the public API guide for setup and compatibility boundaries; private connection credentials are not public discovery content. ## Boundaries Meal-Planner.online provides general meal-planning support. It is not medical nutrition therapy, does not replace advice from a clinician or registered dietitian, does not guarantee grocery savings, and does not certify allergy safety. Users are responsible for checking ingredient labels, substitutions, store products, and cross-contact risks. Instacart handoff availability depends on area, retailer and coverage. It creates a grocery-list review path, not an automatic completed cart or order. Instacart handles item prices, substitutions, payment and fulfillment. Public samples, newsletters and weekly plan emails must not expose private subscriber Instacart links. Meal-Planner.online is independent of Mealime and Albertsons Companies and does not migrate Mealime accounts, favourites or plans automatically. Mealime announced an October 21, 2026 shutdown; consult its official notice for current status. Its recipes continue in free Meals Hub. Free personal-copy guidance: https://www.meal-planner.online/save-mealime-recipes/. Recipe Book requires active Plus and holds up to 200 recipes total. Generated Meal Planner favourites are saved with the heart button and explicit review. Photo/PDF recipe-import pilot availability is controlled by a server release flag; it may be limited to approved pilot accounts and is not a promise of general Plus availability. When enabled for an eligible active Plus account, it accepts one JPEG, PNG or unencrypted PDF up to 5 MiB and 10 pages, with explicit upload-rights and Anthropic consent. It creates an editable unverified transcription; nothing saves before review and confirmation. The pilot allows 20 successful previews per UTC month and 3 successful previews per UTC day, at least 60 seconds apart. A complete preview counts after temporary-upload cleanup succeeds; saving is separate, and failed or incomplete processing does not use the personal allowance. Limits reset at UTC day and month boundaries. A separate service-wide processing allowance may pause imports even when personal uploads remain. Historical counters are retained. Generated and imported copies share the same 200-recipe limit. Normal processing deletes temporary original uploads when the request finishes; interrupted files become eligible for cleanup once at least 10 minutes old, with cleanup attempts scheduled every 5 minutes. A processing or deletion failure may require a retry or support review. The Book retains reviewed text and capture details, not an original-file archive. Keep independent backups. Manual entry, pasted recipes, URL fetching, bulk imports, and Mealime account migration remain unavailable. Open the signed-in Recipe Book to check current account eligibility; this static summary does not activate the pilot. Scheduled cancellation keeps paid access until the paid period ends. After paid access ends, saved content is retained but cannot be viewed, edited or added to until resubscription restores access. Authenticated owners can still export or delete retained content through privacy controls. Account deletion removes active saved recipes and drafts, subject to the privacy policy retention provisions. No deleted-data recovery is offered. Private Recipe Book entries are excluded from public discovery and the API/MCP beta. ## Crawl guidance Public sample recipes: https://www.meal-planner.online/sample-recipes/ Free white-bean dinner: https://www.meal-planner.online/sample-recipes/skillet-white-beans-tomato-spinach/ (full free recipe; timings estimated; not kitchen-tested). Use canonical public pages and sitemaps. Do not use private subscriber URLs, account pages, checkout pages, access tokens, customer profile data, or email-preference links as public sources.
