Direct Control
Your pantry, inside your AI.
Ration gives agents OAuth-authorized read/write tools for inventory, meals, meal plans, shopping lists, and credits — no manual API key setup for standard clients.
Closed Loop
One kitchen lifecycle, available to humans and agents.
The web UI is a control room. MCP is the conversational interface. Both move through the same Cargo, Galley, Manifest, Supply, and Dock loop.
01
Know the kitchen
Cargo
Inventory, quantities, expiry, tags, and semantic search give your agent a live model of what is in stock.
02
Understand the options
Galley
Recipes and provisions become structured choices. Match Mode shows what can be cooked now and what is missing.
03
Plan the week
Manifest
Schedule breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks by intent. Your agent can read the plan and adjust it around real life.
04
Buy only the delta
Supply
Supply lists are generated from planned meals and current Cargo, then docked back into inventory after shopping.
Experience
From stocked shelves to dinner decisions.
Ration tells a simpler story than a dashboard tour: observe the kitchen, ask the agent, then let the plan update inventory and shopping.
01 / Observe
Ration turns your kitchen into context.
Scan a shelf, import a receipt, or add items manually. Cargo becomes structured, searchable memory for both the app and your AI client.
02 / Ask
Your agent can reason over meals, stock, and preferences.
Ask what to cook, what expires soon, what to buy, or whether a recipe is possible. Ration answers from live inventory and Galley data.
03 / Act
Planning, shopping, and cooking close the loop.
The Manifest feeds Supply. Consumed meals deduct ingredients. Docked groceries refill Cargo. The system keeps moving without spreadsheet upkeep.
Platform
Built for agents, still elegant for people.
The core features remain visible, but they are grouped by what a user or agent is trying to accomplish.
OAuth MCP control
16+ toolsPaste one URL into Cursor or Claude Desktop — browser sign-in grants scoped access to inventory, meals, plans, and supply lists.
Semantic kitchen memory
768 dimensionsVector matching understands that canned tomatoes, tinned tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes are related without brittle keyword rules.
AI-assisted intake
CreditsPhoto scanning, receipt extraction, recipe import, meal generation, and weekly planning use credits on both tiers.
Crew households
GroupsShared groups let families or housemates use the same Cargo, Galley, Manifest, Supply lists, and credit pool.
Agent-ready discovery
Well-knownRation publishes Link headers, markdown negotiation, API catalog, OAuth server card, MCP protected-resource metadata, and agent skills.
REST and export paths
API v1Programmatic endpoints support inventory, Galley, and Supply import/export workflows with scoped API keys.
Agent-ready by design.
Agents can discover Ration through Link headers, request markdown content, read an API catalog, inspect OAuth authorization-server metadata, fetch the MCP server card, and load skill instructions.
AI Features
Automation where the upkeep used to be.
Credits power expensive AI operations while the day-to-day lifecycle stays available on both tiers.
Ask for a week of dinners, a rescue meal for expiring produce, or a supply list for the meals already planned. Ration keeps the agent grounded in your actual kitchen.
