## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-20.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (remove_inventory_product).
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 84/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - 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.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 57/100
  - Stability observed for 17 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - All 3 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 21 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

### `signup` (~125 tokens)

Create a Recall Kitchen account and API key from an email. No API key or x402 payment required. 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.

Input parameters:

- `email` (string, required): email address for the new account
- `name` (string): optional display name

Output parameters:

## 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.
