How to: Gemini CLI Chop it: meal planning, recipes, pantry and shopping create_weekly_menu
Add Chop it: meal planning, recipes, pantry and shopping to Gemini CLI
-
01
Open ~/.gemini/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"chopit": {
"httpUrl": "https://chopit.app/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.
-
03
Ask for something create_weekly_menu does. Gemini CLI lists the server's tools on connect and calls create_weekly_menu itself — you do not invoke it by name.

04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Chop it: meal planning, recipes, pantry and shopping's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Gemini expands $VAR and ${VAR} inside env values, so a secret can live in your shell rather than this file. Gemini CLI docs
Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 11 November 2026. It is what
the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
