What brewery types are available?

Six types: micro (small-scale production), nano (ultra-small, often home-based), regional (large-scale distribution), brewpub (restaurant+brewery combo), contract (brewed at another location), and proprietor (owner-operated with minimal production).

Can I search for breweries by location coordinates?

Yes, many entries in the Open Brewery DB include precise latitude and longitude coordinates, making it possible to query for breweries near a specific geographical point.

Are international breweries included?

While the primary focus of Open Brewery DB has historically been the United States, it is actively expanding to include breweries from the UK, Ireland, South Korea, and other international locations.

Common questions about integrating Open Brewery DB MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Open Brewery DB tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
