Connect MyMealVault to Claude or Cursor

MyMealVault offers a hosted MCP server so you can work with your saved recipes, meal plan, and grocery list from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor. You sign in once with the same OAuth consent flow used for connected apps in the web app.

Before you start

• You need an existing MyMealVault account.
• MCP URL: https://api.mymealvault.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

1. Add a custom connector

   In Claude Desktop settings, add a custom MCP connector and paste the MCP URL above.

2. Sign in and consent

   On first use, complete the MyMealVault sign-in and consent screen. Allow access so the assistant can read your vault and make imports or meal plan changes.

3. Try a prompt

   Ask Claude to list your saved recipes or show this week's meal plan.

Claude Code

From your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http mymealvault https://api.mymealvault.com/mcp

Follow the browser sign-in flow when prompted.

Cursor

Add an entry to your Cursor MCP configuration (mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mymealvault": {
      "url": "https://api.mymealvault.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor if needed, then complete OAuth when the server is first used.

Disconnect

Open MyMealVault on the web, go to Settings → Connected apps, and disconnect the assistant. The next MCP request from that client will fail until you connect again.
