What transport and auth does the server use?

Streamable HTTP at a single URL, with OAuth 2.1 (authorization code with PKCE, dynamic client registration). Anonymous requests are allowed and see only the public tools.

Is /api/mcp/chatgpt a different server?

No. https://onlyrecipes.app/api/mcp/chatgpt is the same server under the path the ChatGPT app was first published at. Use https://onlyrecipes.app/mcp everywhere else.

Is it listed in the MCP Registry?

It is published as app.onlyrecipes/only-recipes, with the remote URL above.

How do I disconnect an assistant?

Open https://onlyrecipes.app/oauth/connected-apps while signed in. It lists every connected app with when you connected it and what it can do, and Disconnect revokes its access immediately.

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.
