Espresso MCP

mattgierhart/espresso-mcp

Plugs into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any MCP host and gives you six tools for finding specialty espresso cafes with transparent quality scoring. Ships with 100+ curated shops and 75+ roasters, plus an opinionated algorithm that rewards single-origin offerings, competition credentials, and third-wave equipment while penalizing syrup-heavy menus. You can search by location with radius filtering, score hypothetical cafes by their attributes, or query the roaster database. The scoring breakdown surfaces exactly why each shop earned its tier, from in-house roasting to cortados on the menu. Useful when you're traveling and want to skip the Yelp noise for places that actually care about extraction and sourcing.

Readme

espresso-mcp

An MCP server that finds great espresso cafes — and codifies what makes them great.

espresso-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server you can plug into Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw, and any other standard MCP host. It ships with a curated database of 100+ specialty-coffee shops, 75+ specialty roasters, and a transparent scoring algorithm that captures why a shop is good — sourcing, freshness, equipment, training — and why a shop is bad (the heaviest negative signal: menus dominated by flavored syrups).
