Automate user profile gathering using Untappd MCP Server

You need to run a nightly cron job that updates user stats. Connect your script, call `get_user_info`, and then loop through the results from `get_user_distinct_beers`. The output is piped directly into a database for logging. This is ideal for CI/CD pipelines where you need to process large amounts of historical data without needing any GUI. You're working entirely in the terminal, feeding scripts with raw JSON.

Run live beer trend analysis via Untappd MCP Server

The script needs real-time market intelligence. Run `get_trending_beers` to pull global macro and micro trends. You can then use the resulting beer IDs to call `get_beer_info` for every single one, compiling a full report. No need for a web interface; you just pipe the final structured data output into another tool or script. It keeps everything clean and headless.

Process social activity feeds using Untappd MCP Server

Your job is to monitor friend activity across multiple users. You can authenticate your agent, then use `get_user_activity` or fetch specific checks with `get_friend_activity`. The output gives you the full check-in feed required for auditing. This makes it easy to write background scripts that monitor social status changes—like checking if a user just added a beer to their wishlist using `get_user_wishlist`.
