What the connector does连接器能做什么
- Reads a menu photo into ChefBear. From 1 to 5 photos you share as links, ChefBear builds a private, structured menu: dish names, short descriptions, categories and prices, in the language you choose.
- Lets Claude read your saved menu. Claude compares the dishes and prices with the flavors, cravings, appetite and party size you describe, and helps you pick.
- Shares a menu when you ask. It can create a link friends can open, and turn that link off later.
- 把菜单照片读进 ChefBear。你以链接形式提供 1 到 5 张照片,ChefBear 会整理出一份私人的结构化菜单:菜名、简短介绍、分类和价格,语言由你选择。
- 让 Claude 读取你保存的菜单。Claude 会结合你描述的口味、想吃的东西、饥饿程度和用餐人数,对照菜品和价格,帮你挑选。
- 按你的要求分享菜单。可以生成一个朋友能打开的链接,之后也可以关闭它。
It does not read your ChefBear taste profile, meal history or orders, does not create images, and never places orders or takes payments. Dish details come from the restaurant’s menu, so confirm anything important with the restaurant before you order.
它不会读取你在 ChefBear 里的口味档案、用餐记录或订单,不生成图片,也不会下单或付款。菜品信息以餐厅菜单为准,重要的事项请在点餐前向餐厅确认。
Before you start开始之前
- An iPhone with ChefBear from the App Store, version 4.4 or later, signed in with Apple, Google or a verified email. You approve the connection there with a 3-digit code; earlier versions can’t enter it.
- Imports use your account’s menu recognition allowance, the same as scanning in the app. Reading a saved menu does not.
- Accounts in the mainland China service region can’t connect ChefBear to Claude, and a connection can’t be approved from within mainland China.
- 一部装有 ChefBear 4.4 或更高版本的 iPhone(从 App Store 下载),并用 Apple、Google 或已验证的邮箱登录。连接要在 App 里输入 3 位验证码确认,更早的版本无法输入。
- 导入菜单会使用账号的菜单识别额度,和在 App 里扫描一样;读取已保存的菜单不使用额度。
- 中国大陆服务区的账号无法把 ChefBear 连接到 Claude;在中国大陆境内也无法确认连接。

Privacy隐私
- What ChefBear receives: only what Claude sends to these tools — photo links, menu and import IDs and a language. ChefBear does not receive your conversation.
- What Claude receives: the menu text, prices and links these tools return. Never your taste profile, allergy information, orders or menu photos. Anthropic’s privacy policy covers how Claude handles them.
- Menus stay private until you ask for a share link. Anyone with a share link can view that menu’s dishes and prices; original photos are never shared.
- Imported photos are stored privately with your menu. See the ChefBear privacy policy for retention and your choices.
- ChefBear 收到的内容:只有 Claude 传给这些工具的内容——照片链接、菜单和导入编号以及语言。ChefBear 不会收到你的对话。
- Claude 收到的内容:这些工具返回的菜单文字、价格和链接。不包括你的口味档案、过敏信息、订单或菜单照片。Claude 如何处理这些内容由 Anthropic 的隐私政策约束。
- 菜单默认私密,只有你要求时才生成分享链接。持有分享链接的人可以查看该菜单的菜品和价格;原始照片从不分享。
- 导入的照片随菜单私密保存。保留期限和你的选择见 ChefBear 隐私政策。
Disconnect断开连接
In ChefBear, open Settings › Connected apps and tap Disconnect: Claude loses access right away. You can also disconnect in Claude under Settings → Connectors → ChefBear.

- “Recognition allowance used up” — it becomes available again when your allowance resets.
- Claude says the connection failed — tap Retry in Claude. If the connect page has expired (after 10 minutes), start again from Settings → Connectors.

- Claude 提示连接失败——在 Claude 中点 Retry(重试)。如果连接页面已过期(超过 10 分钟),从 设置 → 连接器 重新开始。
