MCP.Pizza Chef: jtucker

mcp-untappd-server-dotnet is an MCP server implemented as an Azure Function in F#, delivering Untappd data streams using Server Sent Events (SSE). It enables real-time, structured access to Untappd's social beer check-in data, designed for integration with MCP clients like Claude Desktop. The server requires .NET 9.0 and Docker for local development and supports secure configuration via environment variables.

Untappd MCP Server using Azure Functions

A version of the Untappd MCP Server using Azure Functions and Server Sent Events.

Blog post coming soon.

Configure Claude Desktop

Since Claude Desktop does not currently support SSE configuration you need to include a middle man component to make the calls to the SSE server.

Edit your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "untappddotnet": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://localhost:7071/runtime/webhooks/mcp/sse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Building

Prerequisites:

dotnet 9.0
Docker Desktop

local.settings.json Setup

{
    "IsEncrypted": false,
    "Values": {
        "AzureWebJobsStorage": "<CONNECTION_STRING>",
        "FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "dotnet-isolated",
        "Untappd:ClientId": "",
        "Untappd:ClientSecret": ""
    }
}
