Available components
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security94
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents. View diagnostics → Partial
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability80
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 423 tokens (~70/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management23
- Stability observed for 7 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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the The Pantry Butler MCP server?
The Pantry Butler is a hosted endpoint at https://thepantrybutler.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.

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 →
add_pantry_items Add items to the kitchen ~87
Add items to the kitchen. Accepts plain language exactly as a person would say it — "2 lemons", "half a bag of spinach", "chicken thighs". Use this when they mention shopping, unpacking groceries, or having bought something.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| items | array | yes | Items in plain language, one per entry. |
| location | string | – | Where it is being stored. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
cook_tonight Cook tonight ~105
Recipes this person can cook right now with what is already in their kitchen. Use this whenever they ask what to cook, what's for dinner, what they can make without going to the shop, or what to do with what they have. Returns their own saved recipes ranked by how much of each they already own, with the missing ingredients named. `can_make: true` means nothing is missing.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | How many recipes to return, best matches first. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_pantry List the kitchen ~50
Everything in this person's kitchen — pantry, fridge and freezer — with expiry dates where known. Use this when they ask what they have, what is in the fridge, or what is about to go off.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_recipes List saved recipes ~44
The recipes this person has saved, newest first, with the creator each came from. Use this when they ask what they have saved or want to find a recipe by name.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
save_recipe Save a recipe from a link ~57
Save a recipe from a link — an Instagram or TikTok post, or a food blog. Returns the capture endpoint to follow; importing runs an AI extraction and is a separate, slower call.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | yes | The recipe link. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
whoami Which account is connected ~32
Which account this connection acts for, their plan, and how many recipes they have saved. Never returns an email address.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
