MCP support
Exposes RaspberryPints read and write tools to MCP clients through a hosted endpoint. Users authenticate with OAuth and provide their brewery ID and Partner API key.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

From the project READMERaspberryPints MCP by usefulapi
Use your RaspberryPints account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read taps, beers and pours, and add beers or put them on tap. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://raspberrypints.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://raspberrypints.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http raspberrypints https://raspberrypints.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"raspberrypints": {
"url": "https://raspberrypints.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your RaspberryPints credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/raspberrypints/
On first connect you provide your brewery ID (shown on the API Keys page) and a Partner API key (admin panel → API Keys, Owner access). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
