Live Beer Data Context in Cursor

When coding, you don't have to mock API calls. The `get_beer_info` tool lets the AI generate working code that uses real data for any beer. You can also run `search_beer` and inject live results directly into your script. Need to see what a brewery is up to? Use `get_brewery_activity`. This makes writing context-aware apps much faster, since the API responses are real.

Untappd Social Interactions within Cursor

You can build social features right into your codebase. The `add_comment` tool allows you to programmatically add comments to a check-in record. You also have access to friend management via `get_user_friends`, and methods like `remove_friend`. Want the user's whole activity log? Call `get_user_activity`. The live data context is perfect for building anything social.
