Mealie Skill

API client for Mealie, a self-hosted recipe manager and meal planner. Manage recipes, shopping lists, and meal plans.

Environment Variables

Set these in your agent's .env (~/.openclaw/.env) or create a skill-level .env at ~/.openclaw/skills/mealie/.env:

• MEALIE_URL — Your Mealie instance URL (e.g., https://recipes.example.com)
• MEALIE_API_TOKEN — Your API token (create at /user/profile/api-tokens in Mealie)

The script only reads MEALIE_URL and MEALIE_API_TOKEN from .env files — other variables are ignored.

Getting an API Token

1. Log into your Mealie instance
2. Go to User Profile → API Tokens
3. Create a new token with a descriptive name
4. Copy the token to your .env
