Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “search_recipes”: Find Befana recipes by keywords, time, diet tags, and ingredients on hand or to avoid. The cook's saved allergies, diet and avoid list alrea.”
“Use “get_recipe”: Full recipe scaled to any number of servings, in US or metric units. Every step already contains the amounts it uses, so you can read steps.”
“Use “get_cook_steps”: One recipe as a hands-free sequence for voice or chat guidance: a gather list first, then each step with its amounts, the ingredients it use.”
“Use “build_shopping_list”: Merge any set of recipes (each at its own servings) into one shopping list. The same ingredient is combined across recipes and converted to.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Befana Recipes holds up.
gate scanned 20 tools on Oct 16, 2026 for prompt injection and risky tool definitions — nothing to flag.
Operated by Befana Recipes (befana.app) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If Befana Recipes adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose Befana Recipes in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Befana Recipes's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

https://befana.app/mcpYes — Befana Recipes operates its own remote MCP server at befana.app. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
