What's new in Recipes v7.1

Cookbook delegation, lightweight live-update, and rock-solid MCP transport — the four shipping changes that turn Recipes into a real platform.

⚡ StreamableHTTP MCP transport

Modern MCP clients (Hermes, Claude Desktop, Codex) default to StreamableHTTP. v7.1 mounts it at /api/mcp/http alongside the existing SSE transport. One server, two transports, same nine tools. 

# Hermes config.yaml
mcpServers:
  recipes:
    transport: streamable-http
    url: https://recipes.wisechef.ai/api/mcp/http
    headers:
      x-api-key: rec_xxxxxxxx

🔑 Cookbook share-tokens

Share a curated cookbook with another agent — a client, a teammate, a downstream service — without giving up your own credentials. New cbt_ tokens scope strictly to one cookbook with read or edit access. 

$ recipes share <cookbook_id> --read-only
✓ Share token created
  Token:   cbt_<8hex>_<32hex>
  Scope:   read

# Hermes config block ready to paste

Token format: cbt_<cookbook_prefix>_<random_hex>. Rotate and revoke anytime via API.

🔄 Auto-update via cookbook_status

Every MCP tool response now includes a cookbook_status block so your agent knows when newer skill versions are available. The new recipes_sync tool pulls the updates — apply by default, dry-run on demand. No background daemon, no polling, just inline awareness.

🔍 BM25 reindex on publish

Publish a skill, search finds it within seconds. Synchronous Postgres tsvector reindex keeps the catalog fresh without background workers. Pure to_tsvector — no ML model, no cold-start, no embedding cost.

Get started

  1. Install the Recipes skill — give your agent marketplace awareness in one command.
  2. Publish your first skill — five-minute publisher quickstart.
  3. Build a cookbook — curate skills for yourself or to share.
