search_beerLABSCO SUMMARY
Two tools that work, one that doesn't, and a closed door at the API.
The author is direct about both limits, which is worth more than a polished page: check-ins do not currently work, and the key situation is Untappd's decision, not the project's. For anyone holding a key, search plus detail lookup is enough to answer what a beer is, who brews it and how it is rated from inside a conversation.
What it is
A small Node server over the Untappd API. It searches for a beer by name and pulls the detailed record behind a search result. The catch is upstream and permanent: Untappd is no longer accepting registrations for new API keys, so this only works for someone who already has one.
What you get
search_beersearches Untappd for a beer by nameget_beer_inforeturns the detailed record for abeer_idfrom a search resultget_user_checkinsis present for a user's check-in history, and the author records it as currently not working
Requirements
An existing Untappd API key — Untappd stopped accepting registrations for new ones. Build from the repository with npm install and npm run build (package untappd-server, version 0.1.0), then point your client at build/index.js over stdio. npm run inspector starts the MCP Inspector if you need to see the traffic.
