MCP connector

Heated in ChatGPT and Claude

Heated has an MCP server, so AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude can work with your Heated account: find recipes, save them to your cookbook, add ingredients to your shopping list and plan your week.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants use tools from other apps. With the Heated connector, your assistant can look things up and make changes in Heated for you, after you have signed in and allowed it.

Things you can ask

Plan dinners for Monday to Friday with recipes from my Heated cookbook.

Add the ingredients for the bolognese to my shopping list.

Save this carbonara recipe to my Heated cookbook.

What is on my meal plan this week?

The connector reaches recipes, your cookbook, shopping list and meal plan. Not your password or payment details.

Every change is visible
