Flour-first dough plans: yeast, hydration, schedule from flour you own. No API key for plan tools.

app.pandough/mcp MCP Server

The app.pandough/mcp MCP server provides flour-first dough plans, generating schedules based on the yeast and hydration associated with flour you already have. Its plan tools do not require an API key. The server is represented as “app.pandough/mcp” and is identified by the slug “app-pandough-mcp”.

🛠️ Key Features

Flour-first dough planning
Plans include yeast and hydration inputs
Schedule derived from the flour you own
Plan tools work without an API key

🚀 Use Cases

Planning dough workflows using flour you already have
Creating schedules tied to hydration and yeast assumptions

⚡ Developer Benefits

No API key needed to use plan tools
Exposes 7 tools (toolCount: 7) via MCP

⚠️ Limitations

Described functionality is focused on dough plans using flour-first inputs

Captured live from the server via tools/list.

search_flours

Search the Pandough flour database. Returns flour names, protein %, W strength, hydration ranges, and types. Use this to help users find the right flour for their bake.

Parameters2

query	string	optional	Search term (name, brand, or type)
tag	string	optional	Filter by tag (e.g. 'pizza', 'bread', 'pastry')

  },
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}

get_flour_details

Get detailed information about a specific flour by its slug. Returns full profile including protein, W strength, hydration curve, maturation profiles, and description.

Parameters1

slug

string

required

Flour slug (e.g. 'caputo-pizzeria', 'manitoba-oro')

    }
  },
  "required": [
    "slug"
  ],
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}

list_recipes

List the dough recipe styles plan_bake supports. Call this when a user names a style (Neapolitan, classica, focaccia, bread, baguette) so you pass the correct recipeSlug instead of guessing — and so you never confuse a style word like 'classica' with a flour whose name contains it.

Parameters

No parameters.

plan_bake

Create a bake plan with ingredient calculations. Returns exact ingredient amounts in grams, an auto-sized yeast amount, a fermentation schedule, dough warnings, and a calculator URL the user can open in Pandough with all parameters prefilled. Before calling this, gather the inputs that actually determine a good plan (skip any the user already volunteered): (1) Strongly ask which oven model they use — call search_ovens and pass ovenSlug. If it is unlisted, ask for ovenType plus ovenMaxCelsius. Oven capability materially changes the hydration band and bake feasibility; if the user declines, proceed but say the result is not oven-adapted. (2) Which flour(s) do they have? — call search_flours to resolve a flourSlug (or pass flourBlend for a 2–5 flour cut, e.g. a Pulcinella base with 30% Manitoba); this is what makes hydration and warnings flour-aware. (3) Their room temperature and fridge temperature — pass roomTempCelsius/fridgeTempCelsius; temperature is the dominant driver of yeast amount and timing. (4) How they mix/knead (by hand, stand mixer, no-knead) — plan_bake does not return technique guidance, so pair it with a troubleshoot call for method advice. (5) Do they want a preferment? — pass `preferment` for a biga, poolish, tiga, cold/long biga, or a natural sourdough starter. The yeast figure accounts for the preferment, and the calculator link opens with the build already set up, so recommending a biga in prose without passing this param hands the user a direct dough. Don't interrogate a user who already gave a full brief.

Parameters16

recipeSlug	string	required	Recipe type slug. Supported: neapolitan-pizza, classica-pizza, focaccia, artisan-bread, baguette (call list_recipes for the full list). When the user names a style like 'classica', pass that style here — do NOT confuse it with a flour whose name happens to contain the word.
flourSlug	string	optional	Flour slug from search_flours (e.g. 'caputo-pizzeria'). For a single flour. Mutually exclusive with flourBlend.
flourBlend	array	optional	A weighted flour blend (2–5 flours summing to 100%), e.g. [{flourSlug:'caputo-pizzeria',percent:70},{flourSlug:'manitoba-oro',percent:30}]. Mutually exclusive with flourSlug.
hydrationPercent	number	optional	Target hydration percentage (40–110)
servings	integer	optional	Number of portions/pizzas (1–50, default: 4)
roomTempHours	number	optional	Room-temperature fermentation hours (0–168). Pass BOTH this and fridgeTempHours to lock the split; naming only a total lets the engine choose. Room legs above 14h are clamped with a warning.
fridgeTempHours	number	optional	Cold fermentation hours (0–168). Pass BOTH this and roomTempHours to lock the split.
roomTempCelsius	number	optional	The user's real kitchen temperature in °C (2–40). The single biggest driver of yeast amount and timing — ask the user for it.
fridgeTempCelsius	number	optional	The user's real fridge temperature in °C (0–12). Ask the user for it when a cold ferment is involved.
ovenSlug	string	optional	Exact oven model slug from search_ovens. Strongly preferred: the engine uses the model's real ceiling and oven class to adapt hydration and bake feasibility. Mutually exclusive with manual ovenType/ovenMaxCelsius.
ovenType	string	optional	Oven class for an unlisted model. Pass together with ovenMaxCelsius; prefer ovenSlug when search_ovens finds the model.
ovenMaxCelsius	number	optional	The real maximum temperature in °C for an unlisted oven (100–600). This is what constrains hydration and bake time.
ovenMinCelsius	number	optional	Optional minimum set temperature in °C for an unlisted oven.
bakeTime	string	optional	Target bake time as an ISO 8601 datetime (e.g. '2026-06-10T18:00:00Z'). Must be in the future.
preferment	object	optional	Plan the bake around a preferment (biga, poolish, tiga, sourdough…). The yeast figure returned accounts for it, and the calculator link opens with the build already set up.
locale	string	optional	UI locale for the returned calculator link (e.g. 'en', 'pl', 'it'). Defaults to 'en'.

search_ovens

Search the Pandough oven database. Returns oven specs (max temperature, type, fuel) plus recommended bake settings — top/deck heat, bake time, and deck material — computed for a Neapolitan pizza by the same heat engine the site uses.

list_active_bakes

List the signed-in baker's scheduled and active bakes. The first call prompts the chat app to authorize a Pandough account (OAuth scope bakes:read). Needs Pro (or cancelled-Pro). Returns ids, flour, hydration, schedule, and a calculator session link.

Parameters

No parameters.
