Frequently asked
- How much does it cost to host Mealie?
- Hosting Mealie on Zenith is $10 / 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 manage 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, configure, inspect or delete your Mealie deployment. The agent can read and set environment variables. Write-only secrets stay hidden; generated credentials may be returned. Deployment inspection reports live status, HTTPS reachability and summarized resource usage without exposing credentials. A paid deployment requires price approval. Deletion permanently removes the deployment and its data after separate confirmation. Setup is at https://zenith.hosting/connect.
