How to Use the Wine Pairing & Sommelier MCP in Cursor
Inject live sommelier data into your code using Cursor and the MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Wine Pairing & Sommelier MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect Wine Pairing & Sommelier to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Pairing Logic in Code
`get_wine_pairing` lets you write code that determines wine matches based on dish inputs. Instead of hardcoding pairings, your agent calls this tool to get live data—including ratings and prices—and injects it directly into the function body. This means your AI client generates working functions that use real-world sommelier knowledge as context.
Building Recommendation Engines
Need to build a wine discovery feature? Use `recommend_wines`. Your agent calls this tool, and the resulting product data (ratings, prices) gets written right into your codebase. You're not getting mock stubs; you're getting live API responses. This capability drastically speeds up front-end development that relies on external knowledge bases.
Dynamic Menu Generation
When developing a menu generator, `get_dish_for_wine` is key. Your code can accept a wine type (like Riesling) and immediately call the tool to pull suggested dishes, writing that structured output directly into your schema file. It makes testing complex data flows simple and highly accurate.
