52 curated tools
Mealie's REST API has 259 operations; this server exposes the ones a model should reach, so the common tasks are one call — search, read and import recipes, keep tags and categories tidy, plan meals, build shopping lists, manage cookbooks, ratings, comments and share links.
The dangerous surface is unreachable
No admin routes, no token minting, no webhooks or outbound-HTTP triggers — and no PUT-replace, which silently drops recipe fields. update_recipe uses PATCH, so only the fields you name change.
Safe by default
Destructive tools need a server-issued confirmation token, upstream content is marked untrusted, and read-only mode simply does not register the write tools.

One stdio server between the MCP client and the Mealie REST API — destructive calls gated by confirmation tokens, upstream content marked untrusted.
