## Description

**Mealie Context Menu** is a Chrome extension designed to streamline adding recipes to your self-hosted Mealie instance. By entering your personal Mealie URL and API token through the extension's preferences, you gain the ability to import recipes directly from any webpage by simply right-clicking and selecting "Add to Mealie".

Currently in alpha, this extension focuses on minimal features, allowing users secure interaction only with their own Mealie instance through the API endpoint `$MEALIE/api/recipes/create/url`. It requires "Access your data for all websites" permission due to self-hosting flexibility but ensures no unwanted access beyond your specified Mealie server. This tool integrates seamlessly with the official Mealie project to enhance recipe management efficiency.
