Package (npm 0.6.0)

npx -y @ni-c/[email protected]

Or add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mealie-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ni-c/[email protected]"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MEALIE_URL": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "MEALIE_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_VALUE>"
      }
    }
  }
}

MEALIE_URL required — Base URL of the Mealie instance, e.g. https://mealie.example.com
MEALIE_API_TOKEN required secret — API token created in Mealie under Settings → API Tokens
MEALIE_READ_ONLY — Exactly 'true' registers only the 18 read tools
MEALIE_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE — Accept-Language header, e.g. de-DE; localises unit and label names
MEALIE_INSECURE_TLS — Exactly 'true' accepts a self-signed certificate, scoped to this connection
MEALIE_ALLOW_TOOLS — Comma-separated tool names or list_* prefixes to register; 'essential' selects a curated preset (default: all tools)
MEALIE_DENY_TOOLS — Comma-separated tool names or list_* prefixes to remove from whatever MEALIE_ALLOW_TOOLS left
