The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.
get_foodsList and search food items in the database. Foods are used as structured ingredients in recipes.
create_foodCreate a new food item in the database. Foods can be used as structured ingredients in recipes.

get_recipesProvides a paginated list of recipes with optional filtering. Returns recipe summaries with details like ID, name, description, and image information.
get_recipe_detailedRetrieve a specific recipe by its slug identifier. Use this when to get full recipe details for tasks like updating or displaying the recipe. Returns comprehensive recipe details including ingredients, instructions, nutrition information, notes, and associated metadata.
get_recipe_conciseRetrieve a concise version of a specific recipe by its slug identifier. Use this when you only need a summary of the recipe, such as for meal planning.
create_recipeCreate a new recipe with the specified name, ingredients, and instructions. PREFERRED: Use structured ingredients with {quantity, unit, food, note} for proper tracking in Mealie.

update_recipeReplaces the ingredients and instructions of an existing recipe. PREFERRED: Use structured ingredients with {quantity, unit, food, note} for proper tracking in Mealie.

Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
When Vitest UI server is listening, arbitrary file can be read and executed
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk has cross-client data leak via shared server/transport instance reuse
Anthropic's MCP TypeScript SDK has a ReDoS vulnerability
Model Context Protocol (MCP) TypeScript SDK does not enable DNS rebinding protection by default
MEALIE_API_KEY"": "your-mealie-api-key"MEALIE_BASE_URL"": "https://your-mealie-instance.com",Tool annotations
No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
15/15 tools missing one or more hints — get_foods (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); create_food (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_food (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +12 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Tool inputs are validated
8/15 tool handlers declare input schemas (53%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool test coverage
Only 0/15 tools referenced in tests (0%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.0 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.0 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
Dev dependencies
1 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)
Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.
