Choose your computer and AI app. The wizard builds a configuration you can copy without putting your Cookidoo password in this page.

JavaScript is needed for the generator

Use the plain setup guide for the same commands and configuration formats.

Step 1 Which computer are you using? This changes the file path and terminal commands.

Step 4

Your setup is ready to copy.

1
Install the small command runner

uv runs Cookidoo MCP in its own isolated environment.
From the official uv installation guide. You may use one of its package-manager alternatives instead.
2
Create and open the private file
Paste these settings into that file and replace the login placeholders there:
```
COOKIDOO_EMAIL=your-login
COOKIDOO_PASSWORD=your-password
COOKIDOO_COUNTRY=ro
COOKIDOO_LANGUAGE=en
```
The ro/en locale defaults match the project’s existing international setup. Change both values together only to a valid Cookidoo country/language pairing for your account.

Connect your AI app
