Pour Picks MCP server

Let your AI look up bourbon and whiskey bottles, compare them, and suggest cheaper picks from the Pour Picks database.

This is a small helper that connects your AI to the Pour Picks whiskey database. Pour Picks is a bourbon collector's journal app, and this server lets your AI read its catalog of over 4,700 bottles. It is handy if you enjoy whiskey and want quick answers about what to buy or pour.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already knows. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. This one connects your AI to the Pour Picks bourbon and whiskey database. Once it is set up, your AI can look up bottles and answer your whiskey questions for you.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question about whiskey, like what to buy under a certain price. Your AI sends that request to this helper program. The helper looks through the Pour Picks catalog of bottles, tasting notes, prices, and ratings. It sends the matching bottles and details back to your AI. Your AI then explains the answer to you in the chat, in plain words.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “What bourbon is similar to Eagle Rare?”, the Pour Picks MCP server connects it to Pour Picks, and you get back bottle list and summary.
