Gemini CLI Meal Planner — free recipe beta search_public_recipes
How to: Gemini CLI Meal Planner — free recipe beta search_public_recipes
Add Meal Planner — free recipe beta to Gemini CLI
-
01
Open ~/.gemini/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"public-recipes": {
"httpUrl": "https://www.meal-planner.online/wp-json/ksl-mp/v1/mcp-public"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.
-
03
Ask for something search_public_recipes does. Gemini CLI lists the server's tools on connect and calls search_public_recipes itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Meal Planner — free recipe beta'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 9 October 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.
