For AI agents — MCPBundles Directory API
Recommended: Directory API v1 over HTTP for detail and anonymous invoke when eligible (not MCP JSON-RPC on the publisher URL; no user MCPBundles credentials on v1).
GET https://www.mcpbundles.com/api/directory/v1/servers/jimbending-mcp-a60c1baf7b
GET https://www.mcpbundles.com/api/directory/v1/servers/jimbending-mcp-a60c1baf7b?live=1 (optional live refresh)
GET https://www.mcpbundles.com/api/directory/v1/servers/jimbending-mcp-a60c1baf7b/tools/<tool> (one tool: schema + invoke.url)
POST https://www.mcpbundles.com/api/directory/v1/servers/jimbending-mcp-a60c1baf7b/tools/{tool}
POST body: flat JSON of tool argument names and values; not an arguments wrapper. Replace {tool} with a tool name from GET detail.
Restricted agent shell (ChatGPT Codex desktop, some IDE sandboxes):
Default command sandboxes often block outbound network. curl exit 6 or "Could not resolve host" for www.mcpbundles.com is usually sandbox DNS — not evidence this site is down.
Retry the same Directory API GET with sandbox_permissions "require_escalated" and a one-sentence justification on the shell tool (Codex on-request approval). Do not tell the user the site is unreachable from sandbox curl alone.
Example justification: Run the public MCPBundles Directory API search outside the command sandbox to complete the user's MCP server lookup.
If the agent has browser access (e.g. Codex @Browser): open https://www.mcpbundles.com/?q=<query> or stay on this page — no shell network needed. Use WebMCP search_mcp_servers then get_mcp_server (document.modelContext / page tools; refresh with fetchTools or getTools if a tool id is missing from the snapshot). Read-only directory search; same index as Directory API v1 GETs. Neither WebMCP nor Directory API v1 uses user MCPBundles credentials.
Without a browser: after escalated curl fails, use GET https://www.mcpbundles.com/?q=<query> with Accept: text/markdown for ranked results.
Hub MCP (connected session): discover_mcp_servers — same filter semantics as search_mcp_servers.

add_kitchen_item
Save one item to the user's Kitchen Journal. Users have connected this app and typically send one or more photos in chat — sometimes with casual text ("look at this", "from this morning", "by the back fence", "finally flowering"), often with no text at all. There is no special invocation phrase. When a plant or garden photo arrives, save it. Identify the plant species from your vision and pass it as itemName.

Add a Kitchen Journal item — Save one item to the user's Kitchen Journal. Users have connected this app and typically send one or more photos in chat — sometimes with casual text ("look at this", "from this morning", "by the back fence", "finally flowering"), often with no text at all. There is no special invocation phrase. When a plant or garden photo arrives, save it. Identify the plant species from your vision and pass it as itemName. Use evidence to write a SCENE description — multiple visible details that locate this s
Add multiple Kitchen Journal items — Save two or more items to the user's Kitchen Journal in a single call. Use whenever the user attaches multiple plant or garden photos to one message — same plant photographed multiple ways, OR different plants — sometimes with casual text ("from the back garden", "my herbs"), often with no text. Each entry has its own itemName, evidence, and photo. Identify each plant species; for each, write evidence as a SCENE description (container, surface, backdrop, position, neighbours — aim for 5+ distinc
List Kitchen Journal — Read the user's saved Kitchen Journal items. Use when the user asks what they have saved or wants to review their journal ("what's in my Kitchen Journal?", "show my list"). Returns active items by default; pass status="all" to include items marked done or archived.
Refresh Kitchen Journal widget — Return the latest saved Kitchen Journal so the widget can re-render. Use when the user asks to refresh or re-show their journal, or when the widget calls it directly to recover from stale state.
Find Kitchen Journal item — Search the user's saved Kitchen Journal for items by name. Use when the user asks "do I have basil?", "find the kettle", or asks about a specific saved item by name ("how is my tomato doing?", "what about the basil?", "any update on the rose?") — these reference saved items and should ground the response in the user's actual data, not generic knowledge.
Re-identify or edit Kitchen Journal item — Correct or refine ONE existing item in the user's saved Kitchen Journal. Use when the original identification was wrong ("that's a sage plant, not basil"), the user gives a more specific name ("it's a 1.7L Russell Hobbs kettle"), or the user updates the evidence note. Match by current name; the item's id and addedAt are preserved. For combining two saved items into one (e.g. "merge X and Y", "X and Y are the same"), use merge_kitchen_journal_items instead — this tool only edits a single item.

Operate Jim Bending?
This server appears in the MCPBundles directory. Verify you operate it to take over the listing — name, description, logo, contact email, and skill content. We email a 6-digit code to a maintainer address your server publishes in /.well-known/security.txt or /.well-known/mcpbundles.json. Free, takes about a minute.
MCPBundles publishes this directory for MCP discovery. Except where we host or operate an offering, third-party services run under their own terms. Product and company names on this page are used in a descriptive, identifying way (including under nominative fair use where applicable); they remain the property of their owners. Nothing here grants you rights in those marks, and nothing here is an offer to sell a third party's services. Terms · Request removal
Merge Kitchen Journal items — Combine two saved items into one. Use whenever the user says they are the same thing ("merge X and Y", "X and Y are the same plant", "I added X and Y separately but they're really one thing", "consolidate these two"). The keepMatcher item is kept, the mergeFromMatcher item's photoHistory is folded in, and the second item is removed. Confirm with the user in chat before calling. update_kitchen_journal_item only edits one item — for combining two saved entries into one, this is the right tool.
Mark Kitchen Journal item — Change the status of one item in the user's saved Kitchen Journal. Use when the user says "I've used the eggs" (set status=done), "watch the basil again" (status=active after archived), or "archive the kettle" (status=archived). The matcher is the item name (case-insensitive). The item is not deleted; it changes status.
Remove Kitchen Journal item — Permanently delete one item from the user's saved Kitchen Journal. Use when the user says "remove the kettle", "forget the basil", "I never had that". The matcher is the item name. The deletion is logged in a 30-day archive then purged; recovery during the window requires emailing privacy@colorfactory.studio.
Remove multiple Kitchen Journal items — Permanently delete multiple items from the user's saved Kitchen Journal in one call. Use when the user lists several items to remove together ("remove the kettle, the basil, and the olive oil", "clear out my herbs"). Each matcher is an item name; failures don't block other matches.
Export Kitchen Journal — Return the user's full saved Kitchen Journal as JSON. Use when the user asks to "export my journal", "give me my data", wants a backup, or needs the full data for analysis ("estimate insurance value of all my items" — export, then reason). Use this for UK GDPR data-portability requests.
Delete Kitchen Journal — Permanently delete the user's entire saved Kitchen Journal. Use after the user clearly asks for full deletion ("delete my Kitchen Journal", "wipe all my data"). Requires {"confirm": true} once the user has confirmed in the conversation; the input schema rejects calls without it. Deleted data goes to a private 30-day archive before permanent purge; recovery during the window requires emailing privacy@colorfactory.studio.
Kitchen Journal data summary — Return a summary of what is stored about the user in the saved Kitchen Journal without listing the items themselves. Use when the user asks "what data do you have?", "how much have I saved?", or asks about retention. For listing actual items, use list_kitchen_journal instead.
Delete all my colorfactory.studio data — Permanently delete the user's saved data across all three apps (Garden Bud, Kitchen Journal, Home Journal) under their anonymous ChatGPT identifier. Use after the user clearly asks for a full wipe ("delete everything", "wipe all my data across all three apps", "forget me everywhere"). Requires {"confirm": true} once the user has confirmed in the conversation. Each app's data is moved to a private 30-day archive before permanent purge; recovery requires emailing privacy@colorfactory.studio with t
Open Kitchen Journal — Show the Kitchen Journal widget in its ready state.
Kitchen Journal inventory — Legacy alias for add_kitchen_item. Adds an item to the saved Kitchen Journal.
Record Kitchen Journal items — Legacy alias. Records one or more items in the saved Kitchen Journal.
Manage Kitchen Journal list — Legacy alias. Shows the Kitchen Journal widget for managing the list.
