Manage infrastructure, nodes, cookbooks and configuration workflows through Chef Server. Automate provisioning, configuration management and operational infrastructure tasks.
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available as a desktop app and in Cowork. It supports custom connectors, so it can call MCP servers directly from a chat.
This guide connects Chef to Claude Desktop through MewCP, so Claude Desktop can use Chef, without your Chef credentials ever reaching the app.
Your Chef API key is stored encrypted and injected only at call time. Your agent never holds it, so it can never leak it, log it or paste it into a prompt.
Scope access to the exact Chef tools and accounts you allow, work and personal side by side. Anything outside that scope is refused at call time, even when the model asks for it.
More apps

HotAPI provides a unified API for AI-powered image, video, and audio generation, image editing, and conversational AI. Developers can access multiple models through a single API key, track asynchronous generation tasks, and retrieve results with polling or webhooks.
Other clients
Chef works the same way in every client below. Pick yours for its own guide.
Free to start.
Each call is logged: what ran, on which account, and whether it worked. Failures come back structured, so the agent knows whether to retry instead of guessing.
Every app sits behind one secure MCP URL, and there is no server for you to deploy or keep running. Add an integration in the dashboard and it is live on the next call, with no config to change and no new credentials to wire up. Tools load only when a task needs them, so your agent stays fast and focused however many apps you connect.
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors, then choose Add custom connector.
Name it "mewcp" and paste the URL.
A browser window opens the first time the client connects. Sign in and approve access. No API key needed.
Start a new chat and ask: "List the tools you can use from MewCP." You should see your connected apps.
