Use CBR with AI Tools
Craft Beer Radio publishes a public, read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. AI tools can use it to find episodes, search the beer index, and retrieve show metadata without scraping pages.

What It Can Do
- Find the newest episode with its summary, beer list, highlights, and listening links.
- Look up an episode by number or ID.
- Search episodes by title, topic, brewery, or beer name.
- Search beers and breweries to find the episodes and timestamps where they were discussed.
The server is public and read-only. It cannot publish episodes, modify CBR data, access private credentials, or bulk-export transcripts.
Connecting an AI Client
If your AI client supports custom MCP connectors, add the endpoint above as a read-only remote MCP server. ChatGPT availability depends on your plan and workspace settings; developer-focused clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and the MCP Inspector can also connect.
Developers can inspect the server metadata at /.well-known/mcp.json.
Example Prompts
- “Find every Craft Beer Radio episode that discussed Troegs Oktoberfest. Include timestamps and episode links.”
- “What is the newest CBR episode about? List the beers reviewed and the best audio highlights.”
