Capabilities

Tools 16

build_shopping_list

Read the stored shopping list, including typed items and basket ticks. An optional plan_id verifies ownership. Explicit recipe_ids preview ingredients without changing the list.

Discovered
create_weekly_meal_plan

Use this only when the user asks to save a weekly dinner plan from their cookbook. It replaces the saved plan for that week, so confirm replacement first. For choosing dinners and updating only the shopping list use plan_week_from_saved.

Discovered
get_agent_activity

Fetch recent ReelsMeals MCP tool activity for audit and replay.

Discovered
get_kitchen_preferences

Fetch household food preferences, constraints, equipment, and planning notes.

Discovered
get_public_recipe

Use this after search_public_recipes to read published ingredients and instructions. Cite reelsmealsUrl and the original creator/source. Does not read a private cookbook and does not invent missing steps or quantities.

Discovered
get_recipe

Use this after searching the user's cookbook to read one of their saved recipes in full by its returned id. Preserve stored ingredients and instructions; cite reelsmealsUrl and the source creator. Use get_public_recipe for an anonymous public result.

Discovered
get_reelsmeals_setup

Use this when the user asks to save or import recipe links, migrate saved Instagram recipes, connect their cookbook, or create a ReelsMeals account. Returns setup links and the agent signup protocol. Public recipe search is free. Private cookbook actions require sign-in, user approval and a paid ReelsMeals plan. Does not create an account or charge anyone by itself.

Discovered
import_recipe_from_url

Use this when the user asks to import or save a supported recipe URL into their own cookbook. It writes to the cookbook and may enqueue extraction. For an entire saved Instagram collection or many links, use get_reelsmeals_setup for the batch import page instead. Ask before saving.

Discovered
list_recent_recipes

List the user's recently saved recipes in summary form.

Discovered
mark_recipe_cooked

Record that the user cooked a saved recipe, optionally saving a note.

Discovered
plan_week_from_saved

Choose this week's dinners from saved recipes and replace the previous plan ingredients on the shopping list. Keeps typed items. Does not persist a meal plan.

Discovered
save_recipe_note

Save or replace a user note on a saved recipe.

Discovered
search_my_cookbook

Use this when the user asks about their own saved recipes, bookmarked meals or personal cookbook. Search by dish, tags, maker or description. For general recipe discovery use search_public_recipes. Requires a connected account and paid plan.

Discovered
search_public_recipes

Use this when someone wants a recipe, cooking inspiration or an existing recipe from a creator, without an account. Searches published ReelsMeals recipes. For the user's own saved recipes use search_my_cookbook instead. Never treats public results as the user's cookbook.

Discovered
update_kitchen_preferences

Update household food preferences, constraints, equipment, cooking goal, and planning notes. The ReelsMeals app edits the same record. Each list keeps up to 50 items; a new item longer than 80 characters is shortened, while items already stored are kept as they are.

Discovered
update_recipe_tags

Replace the user's custom tags for a saved recipe.
