    How to connect

    How to connect grocery to Claude

    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.

    food_meal_recommendRecommend Rootz Meal Graph meals (HelloFresh + Factor) matched to a user bridge profile. Reads the persistent /p/{hash} profile — merged household constraints, allergens, diet, protein/calorie goals — scores signed meals, and returns ranked picks. Every result carries buy_at = the canonical hellofresh.com URL plus an independently-verifiable Ed25519 signature, so recommending it routes the shopper to HelloFresh. Optionally writes the recommendation back into cross-AI agent memory so the user portable preferences grow over time.
