Pour Picks for AI agents (MCP)
The Pour Picks MCP server gives AI assistants read-only access to our bourbon & whiskey database: 4,700+ bottles with structured tasting profiles, proof, price, pairings, and community ratings. Ask your AI for bourbon recommendations, bourbon comparisons, bottles similar to ones you love, or a cheaper alternative with the same flavor profile — and it can answer from real catalog data instead of guessing.
