For AI agents & developers
Use Vintners Desk inside Grok Bot, Claude, ChatGPT & Cursor.
Planned: a free open-source ttb-winery-compliance skill and a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to run deterministic COLA label checks, TTB 5120.17 & CBMA calculations, and state DTC lookups—or stage a done-for-you filing.
1. Install the Free Agent Skill
Give Grok Bot, Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex our deterministic TTB + California + Oregon compliance rules and 5120.17 / CBMA tax credit tables:
npx skills add vintnersdesk/ttb-winery-compliance- 27 CFR Parts 4 & 16 mandatory label rules
- CA conjunctive labeling (§§ 25240–25248) & OR ≥90% varietal / ≥95% AVA rules
- TTB 5120.17 filing frequency thresholds & CBMA credit tiers ($1.00 / $0.90 / $0.535)
2. Connect the Remote MCP Server
Point any MCP-compatible client (Grok Bot, Claude Desktop / Connectors, ChatGPT, Cursor) to our zero-auth read-only tools and approval-gated intake staging:
{
"mcpServers": {
"vintners-desk": {
"url": "https://mcp.vintnersdesk.com/mcp"
}
}
}4 free read-only tools (readOnlyHint: true) + 2 human-approved intake staging tools.
