MCP server on every plan
The Meal Plan Vault speaks MCP, so Claude or whichever agent you use can fill in the week, build the grocery list, and check things off while you shop. You decide what happens. It does the typing.
How it works
Do every step by hand if you like it that way. Or say the word and your agent does the same four things through the same tools — you still approve what lands in the plan.
Paste a link, photograph a handwritten card, drop in a TikTok, or save from any cooking site. What comes back is a real recipe — ingredients, steps, and timings, not a screenshot.
import_recipe_from_urlMove meals around the calendar yourself, put the choice to a household vote, or hand the whole week to your agent and check its work afterwards.
set_meal_plan_entryEvery ingredient across the week rolls into one grocery list. Duplicates merge, quantities add up, and everything lands under the aisle you'll find it in.
create_grocery_listStep timers while you cook, and a patient cook on call for substitutions and scaling. Tick items off at the store from your phone, or let your agent do it.

Ask the agent to build one. Try “Build the list”.
This is the same data the app uses. Your agent can change it, and every call it makes gets logged for you to check.
“I plan our week from my phone now. I tell Claude what we've already got in the kitchen, it fills in the nights, and the grocery list is ready before I get to the store.”
For agents and their owners
The vault ships with an MCP server. Your agent gets 19 real tools, the same ones the app runs on, so it can change the plan instead of describing it back to you. It's on every plan, including the free one.
One URL. One sign-in.
Paste it into any MCP client, then approve the connection.

One-click OAuth
OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. There are no API keys to paste, and your password never touches the agent.
Your permissions, inherited
An agent gets the same household role you have. If you are a viewer, its agent can read the plan and nothing else.
Approve tool by tool
Clients like Claude list every tool by name and let you set each one to ask first, always allow, or off.
Reads and writes are separate
A read-only connection cannot reach a single write tool. The scope is enforced on the server, not in the client UI.
Every call logged
Reads and writes both land in an activity log in your dashboard, with a timestamp and the name of the agent that made the call.
Revoke in one tap
Disconnect an agent and its tokens stop working immediately. The record of what it did stays.
