Programmatic Pairing Checks via MCP Server

Write a shell script that calls `get_wine_pairing` to verify pairings. Pass an ingredient like chocolate and check the output for product names, ratings, and prices without needing a GUI. This is perfect for validating content in automated deployment pipelines.

Get Wine Descriptions on the Fly

Need to pull wine type data into a build log? Use `get_wine_description` directly from your terminal. It spits out detailed text that you can pipe to other tools or write to a file. No need for a browser; just one command handles it.

Process Dish-Wine Logic with Claude Code

You can script the entire process. Start by calling `get_dish_for_wine` to get a recommended dish based on a wine type, and then use that output variable in subsequent terminal commands. It keeps everything contained in the standard I/O stream.
