Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http ryecentral-consensus \
  https://ryecentral-wtb.silent-sky-6573.workers.dev/wtb/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"

Any client that only takes a URL: append the key as a query parameter, .../wtb/mcp?key=YOUR_KEY. The server also accepts an X-RyeCentral-Key header.

How the score works

• Sources: independent, publicly published ratings and reviews (scored ratings, expert tasting notes, retailer and community reviews), filtered for fakes, promotion and paid tastings. One site counts once. See Which sources count.
• Score: weighted for sample size and source quality. A score moves only when a new reading differs by 0.1 or more.
• Confidence: a composite out of 100 built from six factors: distinct sources, source strength, rating volume, agreement, stability between readings, and how well-sourced the flavor profile is. It is a rating of evidence, not a statistical confidence interval.

Band	Composite	Meaning
Strong	80–100	Many independent sources that closely agree, stable between readings.
Solid	60–79	Well supported, with fewer sources or looser agreement than Strong.
Early	under 60	A first reading from fewer sources. It can fall but not rise while it stays Early.

Full method: RyeCentral review methodology. Every bottle, ranked: the RyeCentral Consensus Index.
