What is the Open Brewery Db MCP MCP server?

Open brewery db mcp mcp server connects Open Brewery Db MCP to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. An MCP server for Open Brewery DB service.

What Open Brewery Db MCP does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to the Open Brewery DB API. This server enables AI assistants and other MCP clients to search for breweries, get detailed brewery information, and explore brewery data from around the world.

Open Brewery DB is a free and open-source API that provides comprehensive information about breweries worldwide. The database includes:

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call this tool directly:

  • Development — This command starts the server with the MCP Inspector, which provides: - 🔍 Interactive testing of all

Installing the open brewery db mcp mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as open-brewery-db-mcp, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Open Brewery Db MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Development — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • Maintained by jimbuck, written in TypeScript.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the open brewery db mcp mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
