• Select recipes — choose which meals to receive for a delivery
• Skip weeks — pause a delivery without cancelling your subscription
• View account — subscription plan, servings, and next delivery details

Prerequisites

• A Blue Apron account with an active subscription
• Playwright Chromium (installed automatically)

Configuration

Set your Blue Apron credentials as environment variables:

• All browser interactions are read-only except when explicitly invoking write operations (select, skip, update)
