Open Brewery DB

Install the package globally or as a dependency:

npm install -g @jimbuck/open-brewery-db-mcp # or for local usage npm install @jimbuck/open-brewery-db-mcp

git clone https://github.com/your-username/open-brewery-db-mcp.git cd open-brewery-db-mcp npm install npm run dev

This will start the server with theMCP Inspector- a web-based interface for testing and exploring all the brewery tools interactively!

The server communicates via stdio and follows the MCP protocol. To use it with an MCP client:

To connect this server to an MCP client like Claude Desktop, add the following configuration:

macOS:~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonWindows:%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

- 40,000+ breweriesfrom around the globe
- Detailed brewery information including names, types, locations, and contact details
- Regular updates from community contributions
- No authentication required for basic usage

The API categorizes breweries into several types:

- micro- Most craft breweries. For example, Samuel Adams is still considered a micro brewery
- nano- An extremely small brewery which typically only distributes locally
- regional- A regional location of an expanded brewery. Ex. Sierra Nevada Asheville
- brewpub- A beer-focused restaurant or restaurant/bar with a brewery on-premise
- large- (DEPRECATED) A very large brewery. Likely not for visitors. Ex. Miller-Coors
- planning- A brewery in planning or not yet opened to the public
- bar- (DEPRECATED) A bar. No brewery equipment on premise
- contract- A brewery that uses another brewery's equipment
- proprietor- Similar to contract brewing but refers to a brewery incubator
- closed- A location which has been closed

This MCP server provides the following tools:

Search for breweries with flexible filtering options:

- by name- Search by brewery name
- by city- Filter by city name

For development with theMCP Inspector(recommended):

- 🔍Interactive testingof all MCP tools
- 📊Real-time debuggingof server responses
- 🎯Visual tool explorationwith a web-based interface
- 🚀Instant feedbackwithout needing to configure a full MCP client

The inspector will automatically open in your browser, allowing you to test brewery searches, explore random breweries, and validate all functionality in real-time.

To watch for changes and rebuild (production mode):

{ "name": "get_brewery_by_id", "arguments": { "id": "11590" } }

{ "name": "get_random_brewery", "arguments": { "size": 3 } }
