Recipe Saver for ChatGPT
Only Recipes works inside ChatGPT. Save the recipes ChatGPT writes for you, import any recipe link, and send ingredients to your grocery list without leaving the chat.

Set it up
Only Recipes is added to ChatGPT as a custom app through developer mode. It takes about a minute. The server URL is:
https://onlyrecipes.app/api/mcp/chatgpt- In ChatGPT on the web, open Settings, then Apps, then Advanced settings, and turn on Developer mode.
- Choose Create app. Name it Only Recipes and paste https://onlyrecipes.app/api/mcp/chatgpt as the MCP server URL. Leave authentication on OAuth.
- Select Create, then Connect, and sign in to Only Recipes in the window that opens. Approve the access ChatGPT asks for.
- Start a new chat, choose Only Recipes from the + menu (or just mention it), and ask it to save a recipe.
Things to ask ChatGPT
- “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.
ChatGPT shows recipes as cards you can open, and asks before anything that removes items from your account.
Save a recipe ChatGPT wrote
When ChatGPT gives you a recipe you like, say “save this to Only Recipes”. The title, ingredients and steps are saved as a new recipe in your kitchen, where you can scale it, plan it and shop for it on the web, iPhone and Android. The full walkthrough is in how to save a recipe ChatGPT gave you.
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.
