What can I make for dinner tonight with what's in my pantry?

Good news, you've got plenty. Chicken thighs, a can of chickpeas and a bag of spinach that wants using today. Here's what I'd make:

  • Spinach and chickpea curry · 25 min
  • One-pan chicken and chickpeas · 30 min
  • Garlicky chicken wraps · 20 min

Should I put one on tonight's plan?

In short

Pantry Persona connects to Muse as a custom connector that you set up by chat. Paste one setup message, approve the sign-in link Muse sends back, and Muse keeps your pantry, recipes, meal plans and shopping lists in every chat.

  • Costs nothing to connect
  • About three minutes
  • No app listing needed

How to connect

How do I add Pantry Persona to Muse?

Paste one setup message into Muse, then approve the sign-in link it sends back. Muse saves the connection as a skill, so you only do this once.

Step 1 · Connect

about 3 minutes

Copy the message below and send it to Muse. Muse adds Pantry Persona as a custom connector, replies with a Connect card for you to approve, then builds a small skill so it remembers.

  1. Paste this prompt into Muse

    Muse builds the Pantry Persona connection itself. You just give it the details.

    • Open Muse (muse.ai or the app) and start a new chat
    • Copy the prompt below, paste it in, and send it

    Prompt to paste

    I want to connect my Pantry Persona account (pantrypersona.com — pantry tracking, recipes, meal plans, shopping lists, household profiles) as a custom connector in Muse, and I want you to use it automatically for anything kitchen-related going forward.
    
    Connection details (from Pantry Persona's docs at pantrypersona.com/docs and its OAuth metadata at pantrypersona.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server):
    - Provider slug: pantry-persona
    - API host: www.pantrypersona.com
    - Auth: OAuth 2.0 authorization code with PKCE (public client, no client secret)
    - Authorize URL: https://www.pantrypersona.com/api/oauth/authorize
    - Token URL: https://www.pantrypersona.com/api/oauth/token
    - Issuer domain: www.pantrypersona.com
    - Dynamic client registration (RFC 7591): https://www.pantrypersona.com/api/oauth/register
    - Token endpoint auth method: none
    - Scopes: pantry:read pantry:write recipes:read recipes:write meal-plans:read meal-plans:write profile:read profile:write shopping:read shopping:write insights:read
    
    Steps:
    1. Set it up with credentials.request_api_access using the details above — don't ask me for API keys in chat — and give me the connect link. I'll complete the sign-in on Pantry Persona's own page.
    2. Once connected, verify the linked account is actually mine: check the household/profiles it returns and confirm the names match my family before treating any of its data as mine.
    3. Build a working skill for it (use the skill_creator skill): scaffold the connector skill and write a CLI that talks to the MCP server at https://www.pantrypersona.com/mcp over Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC: initialize → tools/list → tools/call, Bearer token via the authd surrogate helpers). Verify it with a real read call.
    4. Save a standing preference: on any kitchen topic (pantry, meal planning, recipes, shopping lists, groceries, receipts, household food profiles), consult Pantry Persona automatically without being asked.
    
    Troubleshooting note: if an API call fails with 401 once, retry once before assuming the token is bad — a transient 401 happened during testing.

    Muse should never ask you to type an API key into the chat. If it does, tell it to use the connect link instead.

  2. Sign in with the link Muse gives you

    Muse hands you a connect link so you sign in on Pantry Persona's own page.

    • Muse shows a Pantry Persona connector card with a Connect button
    • Click "Connect"
    • Sign in with Google or email (same as your Pantry Persona account)
    • You'll see what Pantry Persona can access. Click "Allow Access" to confirm
    • Back in Muse, it confirms Pantry Persona is connected
    Click to enlarge

    Muse checks that the household names it sees match your family before trusting the data. If it names people you don't recognize, you signed into the wrong account. Tell Muse to reconnect.

  3. Let Muse finish setting up

    Muse builds a small skill and saves a standing preference, so it reaches for Pantry Persona on kitchen topics without being asked.

    • Wait for Muse to say the skill is verified (it runs a real read, like counting your recipes)
    • Ask "How many recipes do I have?" to check it yourself

    If Muse reports a single 401 error, ask it to retry once.

Step 2 · Ask

live in your kitchen

Ask your first question

Ask the way you normally talk to Muse. Its saved preference sends kitchen questions to Pantry Persona without a reminder.

What can I make for dinner tonight with what's in my pantry?

Good news, you've got plenty. Chicken thighs, a can of chickpeas and a bag of spinach that wants using today. Here's what I'd make: Spinach and chickpea curry (25 min), One-pan chicken and chickpeas (30 min), Garlicky chicken wraps (20 min). Should I put one on tonight's plan?

Also try

Nothing connects until you approve the sign-in on Pantry Persona's own page.

Once it's saved as a skill, the same pantry is there in the Muse app and on muse.ai.

One connection, every part of your kitchen

What does Muse get access to?

Muse can read and update the kitchen in your Pantry Persona account: pantry, recipes, meal plans, shopping lists, receipts, household profiles and collections. One connection covers all of it.

  • Pantry

    What's on your shelves, in the fridge and about to expire.

  • Recipes

    Recipes saved from links, plus the ones you wrote yourself.

  • Meal plans

    The week ahead, planned around what you already have.

  • Shopping lists

    Built from your plan, minus what's already in stock.

  • Receipts

    Grocery receipts turned into pantry items.

  • Household profiles

    Who eats what, dietary needs and dislikes included.

  • Collections

    Recipe sets like weeknight dinners or holiday baking.

  • Pro

    Kitchen Insights

    A weekly look at what you cook, buy and waste.

How Muse installs it

Why a pasted message?

Muse adds custom tools by conversation, not from an app store, so the setup message is the install. It gives Muse the Pantry Persona server and sign-in details. Muse hands back a Connect card, and once you approve it, Muse saves the connection as a skill. You never paste the message again.

Features

What can Muse do with Pantry Persona?

Muse can plan dinners, build shopping lists and keep your pantry current, all from a normal chat.

  • Ask in your own words

    You don't need commands. Talk to Muse the way you'd talk to a friend who knows your kitchen.

  • Remembers the connection

    Muse saves Pantry Persona as a skill, so every new chat starts with your kitchen.

  • Reaches for it on its own

    A standing preference tells Muse to check Pantry Persona whenever a kitchen topic comes up.

  • Plans around your shelves

    Muse builds the week's dinners from what's in stock and what's close to its date.

  • Turns plans into a list

    Ask for the shopping list and Muse leaves out what you already have.

  • App or browser

    Ask in the Muse app or on muse.ai, and it's the same pantry each time.

Before you connect

Is it safe, what does it cost, and what if it doesn't work?

You approve the sign-in yourself and Muse never sees your password. Connecting is free, and most snags take one message to fix.

Is it safe?

  • Sign-in happens on Pantry Persona's own page (OAuth), so your password never goes into the chat.
  • Muse should never ask you to type an API key. If it does, tell it to use the connect link.
  • Before trusting the data, Muse checks that the household names it sees match your family.
  • Changed your mind? Revoke Muse's access from your Pantry Persona account settings whenever you like.

What does it cost?

No charge to connect.

Pantry, recipes, meal plans and shopping lists are all in the free account. Nutrition details and Kitchen Insights come with a subscription.

See pricing

Something not working?

  • Muse asks for an API key. Tell it to use the connect link instead. You never type a key into the chat.
  • No Connect card came back. Ask Muse to send the Pantry Persona connect link again.
  • The sign-in link errors. If the sign-in link errors once, ask Muse to open it again.
  • Muse names people you don't know. You signed into a different Pantry Persona account. Tell Muse to reconnect.
  • Muse answers from memory instead of your pantry. Say “use my Pantry Persona connector” once, and its saved preference picks it up from there.

It builds a small skill for Pantry Persona, checks it with a real read such as counting your recipes, and saves a standing preference to use it on kitchen topics.
