Self-hosted only. Untappd refuses requests from datacenter IP addresses, and AnythingMCP Cloud runs in a datacenter, so this connector is not available on AnythingMCP Cloud. It works on an AnythingMCP instance you run yourself on a computer or server with a regular home or office internet connection.
Untappd + Cursor
Search Untappd's beer database from any AI assistant. Find beers by name, brewery, or style; read beer detail with ratings; look up venues and check-ins. 4 tools, requires free Untappd API client_id + client_secret.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
UNTAPPD_CLIENT_ID, UNTAPPD_CLIENT_SECRET
Step 1 — Get credentials
This connector wraps Untappd's REST API (api.untappd.com/v4).
Setup: Untappd requires a free API client_id + client_secret. Apply for them at https://untappd.com/api/register. Approval is usually fast.
Provide:
UNTAPPD_CLIENT_ID— your app's client IDUNTAPPD_CLIENT_SECRET— your app's client secret
What's exposed: public, unauthenticated endpoints (no user OAuth needed for basic search + lookup). For per-user data (your check-ins, your wishlist), you'd need OAuth — not included in this connector.
Rate limits: Untappd publishes 100 req/hour per client. The connector does not auto-retry on 429; respect the limit.

Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
- Open
http://localhost:3000and register. The first account becomes the admin. - Open the connector store (
http://localhost:3000/connectors/store), pick Untappd, fill in the credentials it asks for (some connectors need none) and install it. - Under MCP Servers, create a server and assign the Untappd connector to it. On the server's page, copy the MCP endpoint (
http://localhost:4000/mcp/<server-id>) and generate a key under API keys.
The quickstart listens on localhost only. For an instance that other people or cloud-based AI clients can reach, clone the repository and run ./setup.sh, which sets up a domain, HTTPS and OAuth (deployment guide).
Step 3 — Add the connector in Cursor
Cursor runs on your computer, so it can use the local endpoint. Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project):
{
"mcpServers": {
"untappd": {
"url": "http://localhost:4000/mcp/<server-id>",
"headers": { "X-API-Key": "<your-api-key>" }
}
}
}
Then check in Cursor's MCP settings that the server is enabled and its tools are listed.
Available tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
untappd_search_beer | Search Untappd for beers by free-text query (name, brewery, style) |
untappd_get_beer | Full detail of one beer by ID — brewery, style, ABV, IBU, ratings, recent check-ins, label |
untappd_search_brewery | Search Untappd for breweries by free-text query |
untappd_get_brewery | Full detail of one brewery by ID — location, beer list, social stats |
FAQ
Does Cursor support custom MCP servers on the free tier? Yes — MCP is available on Hobby, Pro and Business plans.
Why isn't Untappd available on AnythingMCP Cloud? Untappd refuses requests from datacenter IP addresses. AnythingMCP Cloud runs in a datacenter, so every call would fail. An AnythingMCP instance on a home or office connection usually works.
