Recipe Saver for ChatGPT and Claude
Connect Only Recipes to the AI assistant you already use. When it writes you a recipe, or you paste a recipe link, one sentence saves it to your recipe box, puts the ingredients on your grocery list or plans it for dinner.

What you can say
These are real requests. Each one maps to a tool the assistant calls on your behalf, and the assistant shows you what it did.
- “Save this recipe to Only Recipes.” Saves the recipe the assistant just wrote into your recipe box.
- “Import https://www.seriouseats.com/the-food-lab-best-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe” Reads the page and returns just the ingredients and steps, without ads.
- “What chicken recipes do I have saved?” Searches your own saved recipes.
- “Add the ingredients for the lasagna to my grocery list.” Adds each ingredient to your grocery list, merging duplicates.
- “Plan the salmon for Thursday dinner.” Puts the recipe on your meal plan for that day and meal.
- “What's on my meal plan this week?” Reads back the planned meals for the date range.
- “Find a vegetarian curry under 30 minutes.” Searches the public recipe library with diet and time filters.
- “Make my banana bread recipe for 12 servings.” Returns the recipe with every quantity scaled.
- “Put the pancake recipe in my Breakfast collection.” Adds the recipe to that collection.
- “Check off eggs and milk on my grocery list.” Marks those items as bought.

What works without an account
Searching the public recipe library, opening a public recipe and importing a recipe link all work before you sign in. Saving recipes, collections, the grocery list and the meal plan need you to connect your Only Recipes account once.
Privacy: private by default
- Without signing in, an assistant can only search public recipes and import recipe links. Nothing in your account is visible to it.
- When you connect, you sign in to Only Recipes yourself and approve read access, write access or both. The assistant never sees your password.
- Recipes you save from a chat are private to your kitchen.
- Disconnect any assistant at any time from Connected apps. Access ends immediately.
