## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - 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 (update_recipe).
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 421, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - 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**: 78/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 980 tokens (~81/item across 12 items; 11 tools + 1 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 72/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 4% 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 2 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 13 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

## Install

### How do I install the Sous Chef MCP server?

Sous Chef is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.mysouschef.app/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.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (11)

### `health_check` (~17 tokens)

Health Check

Confirm the Sous Chef MCP server is reachable.

### `list_my_recipes` (~43 tokens)

List My Recipes

List the authenticated user's saved Sous Chef recipes. Use this before editing when the user refers to a recipe by name instead of id.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)

### `display_recipe` (~112 tokens)

Display Recipe

Presents a complete recipe in Sous Chef's interactive recipe card (servings, ingredients, steps, cooking mode, validated edits, Undo). Prefer this over plain chat formatting whenever you generate, retrieve, or substantially revise a full recipe — including ordinary requests like 'give me a vegan mushroom carbonara' or 'make a quick dinner for two'. Displaying is temporary: it renders the card without saving it or creating a cooking session; saving only happens through add_recipe when the user asks.

Input parameters:

- `recipe` (object, required)

### `get_recipe` (~41 tokens)

Get Recipe

Returns the saved canonical recipe from your library or the public catalog. In-progress cooking edits live in sessions and are not returned here.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required)

### `add_recipe` (~166 tokens)

Add Recipe

Creates a NEW recipe in your library only when the user explicitly asks to save/add it or taps Save in the recipe card. For a newly generated recipe the user has not chosen to keep, use display_recipe instead. Does not update existing recipes — to change a saved recipe use update_recipe. To make cooking-time tweaks use apply_recipe_patches. The server mints the stored import-* or ai-* recipe id; any caller-supplied recipe.id is treated only as source payload and is not used for upsert.

Input parameters:

- `idempotencyKey` (string): Opaque client retry token. Reuse it only for retries of the same create request; otherwise omit it.
- `recipe` (object, required)
- `sourceKind` (string)
- `sourceUrl` (string)

### `update_recipe` (~83 tokens)

Update Recipe

Deliberately updates allowed fields on a saved recipe in your library. Supports title, subtitle, summary, description, images, meta, and notes only; images and notes replace the whole array. Does not change ingredients or steps — use apply_recipe_patches for cooking-time edits in a session snapshot.

Input parameters:

- `patch` (object, required)
- `recipeId` (string, required)

### `apply_recipe_patches` (~106 tokens)

Apply Recipe Patches

Validate and apply explicit edits. Pass recipeId for a persisted cooking session, or pass the full recipe payload from display_recipe to edit an unsaved card without persistence. Does NOT modify the saved recipe in your library.

Input parameters:

- `editLabel` (string)
- `measurementSystem` (string)
- `patches` (array, required)
- `recipe` (object)
- `recipeId` (string)
- `reply` (string)
- `sessionId` (string)

### `revert_recipe_edit` (~105 tokens)

Revert Recipe Edit

Drop a patch group by requestId. Pass recipeId/sessionId for persisted edits, or pass the displayed card's baseRecipe and remaining patch history for a pure unsaved-card Undo. Unknown requestIds are idempotent no-ops.

Input parameters:

- `baseRecipe` (object)
- `measurementSystem` (string)
- `patches` (array)
- `recipeId` (string)
- `sessionId` (string)
- `targetRequestId` (string, required)

### `set_measurement_system` (~73 tokens)

Set Measurement System

Set measurements without ingredient patches. Pass recipeId for saved session state, or pass the full recipe payload from display_recipe to update an unsaved card without persistence.

Input parameters:

- `measurementSystem` (string, required)
- `recipe` (object)
- `recipeId` (string)
- `sessionId` (string)

### `delete_recipe` (~38 tokens)

Delete Recipe

Permanently delete a recipe owned by the authenticated user from their Sous Chef library. This cannot delete public catalog recipes.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required)

### `share_recipe` (~99 tokens)

Share Recipe

Creates (or refreshes) a public Sous Chef link for a recipe and returns the URL. Only call when the user explicitly asks to share a recipe. The page is public, anyone with the link can view it, and it is indexed by search engines; the link shows the recipe as it currently looks, including Sous Chef edits, and sharing again updates the same link. Requires a signed-in Sous Chef account.

Input parameters:

- `recipeId` (string, required)

## Common questions

### What is the Sous Chef MCP server?

Sous Chef is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as app.mysouschef/sous-chef. Save, import and edit recipes as interactive cards in ChatGPT and Claude, synced to your iPhone. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.mysouschef.app/mcp).

### Is the Sous Chef MCP server safe to use?

Sous Chef scores 59 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 Sous Chef MCP server expose?

Sous Chef exposes 11 tools: health_check, list_my_recipes, display_recipe, get_recipe, add_recipe, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 883 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Sous Chef MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the Sous Chef MCP server still maintained?

Sous Chef 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.
