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
