MCP Server - Meal Prep (Rust)

English | 简体中文 | 繁體中文

A high-performance MCP (Model Context Protocol) server built in Rust for meal preparation, featuring cuisine-based recipes and intelligent meal planning capabilities.

🚀 Features

• Multi-Cuisine Recipe Database: Traditional recipes from French, Thai, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese cuisines
• Intelligent Meal Planning: Generate weekly meal plans with optimized shopping lists
• Ingredient Overlap Analysis: Minimize food waste by identifying common ingredients
• Resource Templates: Dynamic recipe access via file://recipes/{cuisine} URIs
• High Performance: Built with Rust for excellent performance and memory safety
• Type Safety: Compile-time guarantees with zero-cost abstractions
• Comprehensive Security: Pre-commit hooks, vulnerability scanning, SBOM generation
• Cross-Platform: Portable binary that runs anywhere without dependencies

🏗️ Architecture

Rust Implementation Benefits

• Memory Safety: No null pointer exceptions or memory leaks
• Performance: Near C-level performance with excellent concurrency
• Type System: Powerful compile-time type checking
• Macro System: Code generation for MCP protocol compliance
• Async Runtime: Tokio-based async/await for high throughput
