Connect Saucepan to Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients

The same server works in every MCP client that supports remote servers with OAuth.

Claude Code

1. Add the server:

   claude mcp add --transport http saucepan https://getsaucepan.com/mcp

   Add --scope user to use it in every project, not only the current one.

2. Start Claude Code, run /mcp, and choose Saucepan. Or run claude mcp login saucepan from your shell.

3. A Saucepan page opens in your browser. Sign in and tap Allow.

Cursor

Add Saucepan to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or .cursor/mcp.json for one:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "saucepan": { "url": "https://getsaucepan.com/mcp" }
  }
}

Cursor opens the Saucepan sign-in the first time it connects.

Other MCP clients

Snippets for Devin Desktop, Zed, Raycast, Goose, LM Studio and Codex CLI are on their own page. For anything else, add a remote server:

• Transport: Streamable HTTP
• URL: https://getsaucepan.com/mcp
• Auth: OAuth. The client finds the sign-in on its own and opens it in your browser.

Try asking

• “Find a quick gluten-free dinner on Saucepan.”
• “Save this to Saucepan: https://…” with a recipe link.
• “Write a weeknight dal for four and save it to Saucepan.”
• “What can I make from my pantry?”
• “Add the ingredients for the lemon chicken to my groceries.”
• “Find three vegetarian dinners in my saved recipes and put them on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.”
• “What’s on my meal plan this week?”

What it can and can’t do

Without an account, it can search and read Saucepan’s recipe collection: 5,700+ recipes, all with photos, tagged vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, quick and more.

Signed in, it can also:

• save a recipe from a link, one it wrote in the chat, or one from Saucepan’s recipe collection,
• search your saved recipes and read your collections,
• see your pantry and tell you what you can make,
• add a recipe’s ingredients or single items to your grocery list, and read the list (your household’s list, if you share one),
• read your meal plan and add a recipe or a note to a day.

It can’t delete anything, see your password, or post anything publicly. It acts as you, so it sees only your account and what people share with you.

Disconnect

• Remove the server: claude mcp remove saucepan, or delete it from your client’s settings.
• End the sign-in: in the Saucepan app, Profile → ChatGPT & Claude. On the web, getsaucepan.com/app → account menu → ChatGPT and Claude. The client loses access at once.
