Connect NoshUp to an AI assistant

In ChatGPT's connector settings, add NoshUp as a server:

https://api.noshup.ca/mcp

ChatGPT will redirect you to NoshUp to sign in and approve access with OAuth 2.1 — you do not need to generate or enter an API key. Any signed-in NoshUp user, including the free plan, can connect this way.

Once connected, everyone can search recipes, view recipe details, and find current Canadian flyer deals. Meal plan, grocery list, and budget tools are available when your NoshUp plan includes them; otherwise the tool returns an upgrade-required message instead of failing silently.

Try asking ChatGPT:

• “Find vegetarian dinners that use chickpeas”
• “Show me the recipe for tonight's planned meal”
• “What grocery flyer deals are available this week?”
• “Create a weekly meal plan and show me the grocery list”

Gemini CLI & Antigravity

Install the Gemini CLI (or Antigravity), then add NoshUp as a remote MCP server:

gemini mcp add noshup https://api.noshup.ca/mcp

Start Gemini and authenticate:

gemini
/mcp auth noshup

Your browser will open the NoshUp login page. After you log in and approve, the connection is saved and you can start asking Gemini about your meal plan, grocery list, or flyer deals.

Gemini Enterprise

If your organization uses Gemini Enterprise in Google Cloud, an admin can add NoshUp as a custom MCP data store:

1. Open the Google Cloud Console → Gemini Enterprise → Data stores → Create data store.
2. Search for Custom MCP Server and click Add MCP server.
3. Configure the following:

4. Click Verify Auth and complete the NoshUp login and consent.
5. Click Create. The data store is ready when its status shows Active.

Clients without OAuth browser support — including Claude Desktop, Cursor, and custom scripts or automations — can authenticate with a manual connector key instead. Generating a key requires a NoshUp Pro plan; ChatGPT's OAuth connection remains free.

Generate a connector key

1. Sign in to NoshUp.
2. Open Settings.
3. Find the MCP Connectors card.
4. Expand Advanced: for Cursor, scripts, and automations.
5. Enter a name for the key and click Generate key.
6. Copy the displayed nsh_mcp_... value immediately — it's shown only once.

Configure your client

Point your client at https://api.noshup.ca/mcp over Streamable HTTP (SSE is not supported), sending the connector key as a bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer nsh_mcp_...

A typical MCP client configuration file looks like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "noshup": {
      "url": "https://api.noshup.ca/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer nsh_mcp_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Revoke a key any time from Settings > MCP Connectors; it stops working immediately. If your client supports an OAuth 2.1 browser flow instead, prefer that — as ChatGPT and Gemini do above.
