Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 1780 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name kitchen-timer-meal-planner.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 9 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 1780 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 1780 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    31 of 31 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Fail
    Website matches publisher

    The website host does not match the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

Capabilities

Tools 9

add_dish

Add one more dish to this plan. The ready time stays, so the new dish goes in at the ready time minus its cooking time and must still fit. Before the person taps Start it joins the plan on the sheet; afterwards it goes onto the phone too. Same rules as plan_meal: a plain-text name, at most 12 dishes. Needs the plan's code and control key.

Discovered
adjust_dish

Add time to a dish (a positive number of minutes) or take time off (negative). Before the person taps Start this changes the plan, and the ready time stays; afterwards it changes that dish's timer on the phone. Needs the plan's code and control key.

Discovered
cancel_meal

Cancel this plan: its link stops working, and if the person already started it, its timers are removed from the phone. Only that plan's timers; nothing else on the phone. Needs the plan's code and control key. Ask the person first.

Discovered
link_dish

Make a dish start a while after another dish goes in or is done ("the potatoes 30 minutes after the chicken goes in"), or clear that link by leaving `after` out. Starting the other dish early or late then moves this one with it. A dish cannot wait on a dish that waits on it, and a dish that already started cannot be linked. Needs the plan's code and control key.

Discovered
meal_status

Say what is next in a meal plan made with plan_meal, and how long until it. Give the plan's code (the last part of its link). Only reads; never changes a plan. Give the control key too, if you have it, to also see the timers on the phone.

Discovered
pause_meal

Pause every dish of this plan that is running on the phone (the cook can resume on the phone or you can call resume_meal). Needs the plan's code and control key. Only works after the person has tapped Start on the phone; before that it says so.

Discovered
plan_meal

Make a meal plan: each dish starts at the right moment so everything is ready at the same time. Returns a link (open it on the phone in the kitchen, where the alarms ring), a QR code for that link, and the schedule. YOU do the cooking knowledge: break a recipe into dishes, each with its total cooking minutes, and put the timed moments inside a dish as steps ("simmer 20, rest 5" is a dish of 25 minutes with a step "Rest" at 20). If the person did not say when they want to eat, ASK before calling; use `readyInMinutes` for "we eat in 90 minutes", `readyAt` (an ISO date-time with a UTC offset, or local time plus `timeZone`) for "at 7", or `startNow` to start cooking now (a single timer is a one-dish plan with `startNow`). Keep times realistic and use only what the person gave you; at most 12 dishes and 12 hours. Dish names are plain text, no links. The reply link works for anyone who has it and the plan is deleted about a day after the meal. Tell the person the alarms ring on the phone page, not in this chat. The reply also holds a secret CONTROL KEY (starts with ktpk_): remember it for the rest of the chat, do not show it or put it in any link, and pass it with the plan's code to the control tools to keep managing this plan. Once it works you may offer the person to manage their whole kitchen from now on (⋯ → Link an agent in the app gives the connector address and a 6-digit code).

Discovered
resume_meal

Resume the paused dishes of this plan on the phone. Needs the plan's code and control key.

Discovered
skip_step

Skip the rest of the current wait for one dish: a dish still waiting to go in starts now, and a dish that is cooking finishes now. Only works after the person has tapped Start on the phone. Needs the plan's code and control key.
