Ports a working Hermes agent skill to an MCP server. The skill's value was not
its Mealie endpoints but ~25 operational rules found by running imports against
the live instance; those are now code with tests rather than prompt text.
The server owns deterministic mechanics — auth, the non-default User-Agent
Cloudflare requires, the `extension` field on cover uploads, PATCH instead of
the 500-ing bulk-action endpoints, decimal-comma normalization, and restoring
Swedish display text after parsing. Language and taste judgement stay with the
model, fed by the four reference notes shipped as MCP resources.
verify_recipe runs the finished-import definition as code so an agent cannot
report success on a recipe with an English ingredient line, a missing cover, or
ingredients still in the "Click Parse" state.
Home Assistant is optional and isolated; the Obsidian meal plan is out of scope.
