# plan-to-eat MCP
This skill teaches you to use the `plan-to-eat` MCP server effectively. The server gives you full read/write access to a Plan to Eat account: recipe book, weekly planner, shopping list.
## Setup check
If the user references Plan to Eat but no `plan-to-eat__*` tools are available, the MCP server isn't wired into this session.
- If you have a shell and the `plan-to-eat` CLI is installed, use the **`plan-to-eat-cli`** skill instead — same 36 capabilities, driven through subcommands.
- Otherwise the server isn't installed yet. Offer the setup below. Don't try to scrape the web app instead.
### If it isn't installed
The server is published to npm as [`plan-to-eat-mcp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/plan-to-eat-mcp) and needs Node 18+. **Show these commands to the user rather than running them yourself** — they change the host's configuration, and the credentials must come from the user's own shell, not from you.
```bash
# Claude Code:
claude mcp add plan-to-eat -- npx -y plan-to-eat-mcp@0.7.3 # x-release-please-version
# Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed — the same stdio block:
# "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "plan-to-eat-mcp@0.7.3"] # x-release-please-version
# To skip the per-launch npx resolve, install once and use the
# `plan-to-eat-mcp` bin as the command with no args:
npm i -g plan-to-eat-mcp@0.7.3 # x-release-please-version
```
No clone or build step. Keep the version pinned when you pass these on: `npx -y`
runs whatever the regis
