Frequently asked

How much does it cost to host Mealie?
Hosting Mealie on Zenith is $5 / month, billed monthly until you cancel.
How long does Mealie take to deploy?
Most apps are live on your own subdomain in about two minutes after you deploy.
Do I need to manage a server to run Mealie?
No. Zenith runs Mealie for you, with no servers to provision or maintain.
Can I use my own domain with Mealie?
Yes. Each deployment gets a Zenith subdomain, and you can map your own custom domain to it afterwards.
Can I deploy Mealie with Claude or another AI agent?
Yes. Zenith has a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://zenith.hosting/mcp. Add the endpoint from Claude, Cursor or another MCP client, connect your account, and ask the agent to deploy Mealie. Each paid deployment still requires your cost approval. Setup is at https://zenith.hosting/connect.
