# About RecipeBee

RecipeBee helps everyday home cooks turn “what should I make?” into a finished meal. Public recipes live on the web so you can browse, search, and share. Guided cooking, meal plans, shopping lists, and timers work best in the RecipeBee iPhone app.

We built RecipeBee so discovery and cooking stay in one calm flow: find a recipe, save it, then cook with step-by-step instructions when you are in the kitchen. The web site is the discovery surface. iPhone is where cooking happens.

RecipeBee is also usable by AI agents. Agents can search public recipes without an API key, preview a complete recipe, and—after the user consents—save a private recipe or import a meal plan through our product MCP server. A separate read-only MCP server provides public product and developer documentation.

## What we offer

- Public recipe search and reading on [recipebee.app](https://recipebee.app)
- An iPhone app for guided cooking and Pro subscriptions through the App Store
- A public REST API and OpenAPI spec for anonymous reads
- A Streamable HTTP MCP server for preview, save, images, and meal-plan import
- A read-only MCP server for public product and developer documentation
