Connects Claude to the Spoonacular food and nutrition API through the Pipeworx gateway. You get five tools: ingredient search and details, branded product search, wine recommendations, and unit conversion for recipe measurements. Free tier includes 150 requests per day, which covers casual meal planning and recipe work without hitting limits. The ask_pipeworx wrapper lets you query in natural language instead of calling tools directly. Worth noting this is part of a larger gateway that bundles 250+ data sources, so you can add just this endpoint or connect to the full Pipeworx hub if you need broader API access.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"spoonacular": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/spoonacular/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Spoonacular data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
