Use The Catalan Table with AI assistants

You can connect The Catalan Table to AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT. Once connected, ask for a recipe in your own words and the assistant searches our 470+ tested recipes, answers with the real ingredients and steps, and links back to the recipe here.

How it works

The connection uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for linking AI assistants to outside sources. It is free, read-only, and needs no account: the assistant can only search and read our published recipes, in English, Spanish, or Catalan.
