What is the VineRadar MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire wine research and vineyard auditing workflow with VineRadar, the comprehensive platform for global wine data. By connecting VineRadar to your agent, you transform complex varietal searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly search for specific wines, audit vineyard locations, and retrieve detailed vintage metadata without you ever touching a wine app. Whether you are building a personal cellar or conducting market research on varietals, your agent acts as a real-time sommelier, ensuring your data is always detailed and well-categorized.
What you can do
- Wine Auditing — Search for thousands of wines by name or keyword and retrieve detailed metadata, including ratings and vintages.
- Vineyard Oversight — Browse vineyard profiles by location to maintain a clear view of regional wine production.
- Varietal Discovery — Query wine varietals to understand the technological and regional distribution of specific grape types instantly.
- Vintage Intelligence — Retrieve full details for specific wine IDs to assist in deep-dive collection audits.
- Market Monitoring — List all supported varietals in the VineRadar catalog to identify trending wine themes in real-time.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your VineRadar API Key
- Start managing your wine intelligence through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Sommeliers & Collectors — monitor wine ratings and retrieve vineyard metadata straight from your workflow.
- Wine Merchants — verify varietal availability and audit regional distributions for your catalog.
- Enthusiasts — perform rapid audits of wine vintages and discover new labels through natural language.
- Operations Leads — automate wine data querying to orchestrate cross-functional hospitality teams smoothly.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my VineRadar API Key?
Log in to your VineRadar dashboard, and you will find your API Key under the 'Integrations' or 'Developer' section. Copy and paste it below.
Can the agent search for vineyards by region?
Yes. Use the search_vineyards tool providing the location name (e.g., 'Napa Valley' or 'Bordeaux'). Your agent will return matching vineyards instantly.
Is vintage information included?
Yes. The wine records retrieved by your agent include the vintage year and specific characteristics associated with that production cycle.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
