Untappd Model Context Protocol Server

This is a simple MCP server written in node to query the Untappd API. Unfortunately they are no longer accepting registrations for new API keys.

Currently only supports 3 tools:

  • search_beer: This will search Untappd for a beer
  • get_beer_info: This get's the detailed beer info via the beer_id returned from a search.
  • get_user_checkins: currently does not work This will return a users checkin's.

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Installation

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "untappd-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/untappd-server/build/index.js"
    }
  }
}

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
