Schema Quality & AI Usability80
- 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 3695 tokens (~167/item across 22 items; 20 tools + 2 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail

- 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 22 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

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 ~272
Create a Recall Kitchen account and API key from an email. No API key or x402 payment required. Set accept_terms true only after you ask the person and they confirm they are 13 or older and accept the Terms (https://recallkitchen.com/terms), Privacy Policy (https://recallkitchen.com/privacy) and API Terms (https://recallkitchen.com/api-terms); never set it automatically or on the person's behalf. The key is returned once. Unverified accounts have lower rate limits (60 tool calls/hour, 400/day, one key) and can add a few watch patterns. 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.

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.

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 79 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 20 tools: add_inventory_product, add_watch_pattern, check_tracked_products, create_api_key, get_product_recall, and 15 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,443 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 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
