Schema Quality & AI Usability84
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2788 tokens (~132/item across 21 items; 19 tools + 2 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management57
  • Stability observed for 17 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • All 3 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 21 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

How do I install the Recall Kitchen MCP server?

Recall Kitchen is a hosted endpoint at https://app.recallkitchen.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 19 exposed · ~1,922 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

signup ~125

Sign in at https://app.recallkitchen.com with the same email to verify, raise limits, and add inventory. Does not re-issue a key if the email already has an account.

Common questions

What is the Recall Kitchen MCP server?

Recall Kitchen is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.adamdecaf/recall-kitchen. US recalls MCP: free API key/signup or x402 $0.025 Base; some tools need key; verify↑limits. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://app.recallkitchen.com/mcp).

Is the Recall Kitchen MCP server safe to use?

Recall Kitchen scores 74 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Recall Kitchen MCP server expose?

Recall Kitchen exposes 19 tools: add_inventory_product, add_watch_pattern, check_tracked_products, create_api_key, get_product_recall, and 14 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,922 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Recall Kitchen MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Recall Kitchen without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the Recall Kitchen MCP server still maintained?

Recall Kitchen is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
