MCP Server Connects Claude to CellarTracker Wine Inventory
A developer has created an MCP server that connects Claude directly to CellarTracker accounts, eliminating the need for manual CSV exports when querying wine collections.
What It Does
The MCP server pulls inventory, tasting notes, purchase history, and drinking windows from CellarTracker and allows Claude to query this data conversationally. The developer previously relied on manually uploaded CSVs, which made data stale quickly and required tedious export/import processes.
Practical Use Cases
The developer shares specific examples of how they use the tool:
- "What whites do I have that pair well with seafood?"
- "Which wines should I drink in the next 2 months?"
- "Which wines should I move to my fridge so they're ready to drink soon?"
- "What are my top rated bottles from the past year?"
- "What should I open with dinner tonight?"
- "What Italian reds do I have?"
Technical Details
The tool works as either a one-click Desktop Extension or as a Claude Code plugin with additional skills for purchase evaluation. It's open source with an MIT license. Since CellarTracker has no official API (despite having approximately 1 million users), the MCP uses their documented CSV export endpoint.
The project started as a personal proof of concept, but the developer worked in Claude Code to make it robust and easy to install. They've shared it with communities who might find it useful.
