Untappd MCP server

untappd-mcp-server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the Untappd API as tools for AI agents — 27 tools covering the full Untappd v4 read API, plus built-in interactive OAuth authentication. Search venues, breweries, and beers; check what's on tap via check-in feeds; explore user badges, friends, wish lists, and drinking history; and aggregate stats — all from any MCP-compatible client.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• Untappd API credentials (clientid and clientsecret) from untappd.com/api
• Optional: an Untappd OAuth access token to unlock authenticated tools — obtainable in-chat via the authenticate_untappd tool or npx untappd-mcp-server auth (see Interactive Authentication)

Quick Start

Via npx (zero install)

UNTAPPD_CLIENT_ID=xxx UNTAPPD_CLIENT_SECRET=yyy npx untappd-mcp-server

PowerShell

$env:UNTAPPD_CLIENT_ID = "your_client_id"
$env:UNTAPPD_CLIENT_SECRET = "your_client_secret"
npx untappd-mcp-server

        "UNTAPPD_USERNAME": "optional_default_username"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools

Tools marked 🔑 token require an access token (UNTAPPDACCESSTOKEN env var or interactive authentication).

Authentication Tools

authenticate_untappd

Interactively authenticate with Untappd via OAuth: opens your browser to Untappd's approve page, captures the redirect on a temporary localhost listener, and saves the access token — the 🔑 tools work immediately, no restart. Prerequisite: your Untappd app's Callback URL must be set to exactly http://localhost:8737/callback (or your UNTAPPDREDIRECTURL).

getauthstatus

Report authentication status: token presence, source (env var or token file), file path, and whether the 🔑 tools are unlocked. Free by default; validate: true verifies the token with one API call.
