jow-recipes

jow-claude-plugin

A Claude Code MCP plugin to manage recipes on jow.fr directly from Claude.

Setup

1. Build the server

go build -o build/jow-mcp-server ./cmd/main

2. Get a Jow token

Log in to jow.fr, open DevTools → Network, and copy the Authorization: Bearer <token> value from any API request.

export JOW_TOKEN=<your-token>

3. Connect Claude Code

Install the plugin via the Claude Code plugin system. The .mcp.json at the repo root configures Claude Code to launch the binary automatically using stdio transport.

The binary also supports HTTP when JOW_MCP_HTTP_ADDR is set:

JOW_TOKEN=<token> JOW_MCP_HTTP_ADDR=127.0.0.1:3000 ./build/jow-mcp-server

Tools

• search_ingredients — Search Jow's ingredient catalog by name (French preferred). Returns ingredient IDs and all available unit IDs.
• get_recipe_tools — List available kitchen tools (wok, casserole, four, …) with their IDs.
• create_recipe — Create a full recipe on Jow: title, servings, ingredients with quantities and units, ordered directions, kitchen tools, and an optional tip.
