Pour Picks MCP Server

Query the Pour Picks bourbon & whiskey database from Claude, or any MCP-compatible AI client. Read-only access to 4,700+ bottles with structured tasting profiles, prices, pairings, and community ratings.

Pour Picks is the bourbon collector's journal for iOS — get it on the App Store.

Tools

Every response includes source attribution, a citation-ready summary line, links, and data freshness dates. All scoring is deterministic — no AI calls happen inside the server.

Install (Claude Desktop)

Requires Node.js 18+.

Add to your claudedesktopconfig.json (Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pour-picks": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "pour-picks-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. No API key or configuration needed — the server ships with public read-only access.

From a local checkout

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pour-picks": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/pour-picks/mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Configuration (optional)

The server works with zero configuration using Pour Picks' public read-only key. Environment variables override the defaults:

Without the service key, trendingbottles falls back to catalog popularity and labels the method in its response (method: "catalogpopularitytier" vs "cellaraddslast30_days").

Remote endpoint (no install)

Streamable HTTP for web agents and MCP clients that take a URL:

https://nqnigdqkcvrziwcbgily.supabase.co/functions/v1/mcp

Also listed on Smithery (gateway pour-picks--bguillow.run.tools) and the official MCP registry as io.github.bguillow-rgb/pour-picks.

Example agent requests

Questions an agent can answer with these tools:

  • "What bourbon is similar to Eagle Rare but easier to find?" → find_similar
  • "Recommend a bourbon under $60 with vanilla, oak, and caramel notes." → getrecommendations with tastepreferences: ["vanilla","oak","caramel"], budget: 60
  • "What tastes like Blanton's without the price tag?" → findcheaperalternative
  • "Compare Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace." → compare_bottles
  • "What bourbon should I pour on a cold night?" → pourtonightsuggestion with season: "winter"
  • "What bottles are collectors adding right now?" → trending_bottles

Example response shape (truncated):

{
  "cheaper_alternatives": [
    { "name": "Buffalo Trace W.L. Weller 12 Year", "price_usd": 49.99,
      "similarity": 0.78, "savings_usd": 15.0,
      "shared_flavors": ["caramel", "oak"] }
