How does the scaling work?

The process involves three steps: first, `parse_measurement` converts your input to a metric base; second, `execute_scaling` multiplies that amount by your factor; and finally, the result is reformatted into readable units.

Can I use fractions like '1 1/2'?

Yes, the `parse_measurement` tool is specifically designed to handle whole numbers, decimals, and mixed fractions.

What kind of units are supported?

The tool supports both volume (e.g., cups, tbsp, tsp, ml) and mass (e.g., g, kg, oz, lb) measurements.

The Smart Recipe Scaler is a precision utility designed for cooks and bakers who need to adjust recipe yields without losing accuracy. By converting all measurements--including fractions, decimals, and mixed units like '1 1/2 cups'--into a standardized metric base (ml or g), the server ensures mathematical exactness during scaling. After applying your scale factor, the reformat_to_kitchen_standard tool uses a smart rounding algorithm to convert the result back into practical, human-readable kitchen units like '2 tsp' or '1/4 cup', avoiding absurdly precise decimals. Use parse_measurement to standardize inputs and execute_scaling to apply your multiplier.
