Chefrson — Smart Recipe & Inventory Management

Every night, millions of home cooks stare into the fridge and wonder what to make — then drive to the store for ingredients they already have, while last week’s groceries quietly expire.

Chefrson turns that around: it knows your pantry, learns the stores near you, and suggests meals ranked by how much you already own — ready now, a quick corner run, or a real grocery trip. Cook a suggested recipe and the meal logs itself against your nutrition goals. Save any recipe from a YouTube video, a website, or a photo. Share cookbooks as a /c/<slug> link your family actually cooks from.

Web is live at chefrson.com; Android is in closed beta (Play internal track); iOS to follow.

What it does

• Nutrition tracking that logs itself — a daily “Today” view tracks calories and macros against your goals, and finishing a recipe in Cook Mode logs the meal automatically. No manual food-diary grind.
• Inventory-aware meal planning — knows what’s in your pantry, what’s expiring, and what’s nearby. Suggests meals ranked by how much you already have; onboarding can seed your pantry from a single fridge photo.
• AI recipe capture — paste a YouTube URL, snap a cookbook photo, or describe a dish. Chefrson structures it into ingredients, steps, and nutrition — and you can export everything back out from Settings (your recipes stay yours).
• Hands-free cooking — Cook Mode narrates steps aloud, and the ChefGPT voice assistant answers mid-recipe questions without touching the screen.
• Hard allergen enforcement — declared allergens are filtered server-side on every AI suggestion and generated meal plan, not just hidden in the UI.
• Proactive expiry alerts — opt-in push notifications with per-type preferences, built end-to-end on FCM; the daily send trigger is pending activation.
• Shareable cookbooks — publish a collection as a /c/<slug> link anyone can open and cook from, no account required.
• AI search — find recipes by meaning, not just keywords. “Comfort food for a cold night” actually works.
• Open MCP and OpenAPI surface — an MCP server card at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json points at a JSON-RPC endpoint that lists its 8 tools without credentials, and the HTTP API publishes an OpenAPI description at /api/docs. Both are checkable from a browser; reading your own data still needs a bearer token.
