Scento Perfume API (MCP server) tools (12)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsfamily-mapFreeUse this when the user asks how fragrances are grouped or what a scent family is (for example woody, floral, amber, fresh, citrus), or wants the exemplar perfumes of one family (synonyms: scent families, fragrance categories, olfactive families). Returns Scento's own family system: the whole tree, or one family with its definition, subfamilies, exemplar perfumes and neighbouring families, with the scento.com guide. Don't use for one perfume's family (perfume-portrait), a perfumery term (perfumery-lexicon) or an occasion (occasion-edit).
house-portraitFreeUse this when the user asks about a perfume house, brand or maison (for example Creed, Le Labo, Amouage): where it is from, when it was founded, its style and its signature perfumes. Returns country, founding year, style, signature perfumes with their families and the scento.com house page in the user's language. Don't use for one perfume (use perfume-portrait) or to list perfumes with a given note (material-match). If the house name is uncertain, call perfume-search with kind "house" first.

Returns the perfumes that have every material given, with house, where each sits in the pyramid and scento.com links in the user's language. Don't use to explain one material (note-portrait), to find perfumes like a named perfume (scent-neighbours) or for a mood or occasion (occasion-edit).
note-portraitFreeUse this when the user asks what a note or raw material smells like or is (for example vetiver, oud, vanilla, iris, ambroxan, bergamot), whether it is natural or synthetic, or what it pairs with (synonyms: what does X smell like, ingredient, note). Returns how it smells, its family, natural or synthetic, pairings and perfumes that show it, with the scento.com page in the user's language. Don't use to find perfumes containing notes (use material-match) or to define a perfumery term such as sillage (perfumery-lexicon).
occasion-editFreeUse this when the user asks which perfume, fragrance or cologne to wear for one occasion, season or climate: wedding, office, date night, night out, weekend, everyday, gym or sport (workout), summer days, cold weather, first impressions, long-lasting or under-the-radar. Returns a short edit of perfumes with a line on why each fits and a scento.com link for each, in the user's language. The occasion is a fixed list, so pick the nearest value; omit gender_lean unless the user states one. For several occasions call it once per occasion. Don't use for a collection built around perfumes the user already loves (wardrobe-composer) or for similar scents (scent-neighbours).
perfume-contrastFreeUse this when the user asks to compare, contrast or choose between two to four named perfumes, fragrances or colognes (synonyms: versus, vs, difference between, which one).

Returns the verified note pyramid, Scento family and subfamily, character, seasons and hours, signature materials and the scento.com page in the user's language. Don't use to find similar perfumes (use scent-neighbours), compare perfumes (perfume-contrast) or search by mood (perfume-search).
perfume-searchFreeUse this when the user asks to find a perfume, fragrance, cologne or scent by name, house, note or mood, or when a name is uncertain (synonyms: perfume, fragrance, cologne, eau de parfum, scent, brand, notes, smells like). Returns matching perfumes, houses and raw materials with house, Scento family and a scento.com link in the user's language, ten per page. Call this first when a name is ambiguous. Don't use for a perfume's full notes (use perfume-portrait), similar scents (scent-neighbours) or articles (journal-search).

wardrobe-composerFreeUse this when the user wants a small fragrance wardrobe or collection (three to five perfumes for different moments) built around perfumes or notes they already love, or asks what to add next (synonyms: signature scents, collection, rotation, what else should I own). Returns roles such as daytime, evening and warm weather, each with a perfume, its house, why it fits and a scento.com link in the user's language.

Scento Perfume API (MCP server): Perfume API, Fragrance API and Perfume MCP Server
<!-- mcp-name: com.scento/perfume-api -->
A free perfume and fragrance API and MCP server for AI assistants, built on Scento's verified perfume database. From Scento, a perfume decant house founded in Paris in 2024.
Ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client for a perfume's notes and family, the difference between two you are torn over, similar scents built on the same structure, or what a raw material such as ambroxan smells like. The perfume database covers 1,400+ designer and niche perfumes, 400+ raw materials, 140+ houses and Scento's own fragrance-family system, and every answer is tied to a page on scento.com. No key, no account, read-only.
Remote server: https://www.scento.com/mcp (streamable HTTP, no authentication) Docs: https://www.scento.com/developers Claude: Available in Claude's connectors directory. Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add Scento-com/perfume-mcp-server, then /plugin install scento-perfume-api@scento. Gemini CLI: gemini extensions install https://github.com/Scento-com/perfume-mcp-server
