MCP connector

Recommendations that remember what you thought last time.

Restaurant Scout learns which places you like — not which places the internet likes — and it tells you why every time.

Connector address

This plugs into an AI assistant — it isn't a site you browse. Opening the address in a browser returns an authentication error, which means it's working.

The difference

Most recommendations rank by crowd rating. This one starts from your own record, and says out loud what it's reasoning from.

The Copper Fig — Poor fit for you based on 14 rated visits, high confidence ✓ $$ matches where your good nights happen ⚠ 4,120 reviews — you rate places under 300 reviews 1.7★ higher than well-known ones ⚠ the summary of all 4,120 reviews flags noise — a recurring complaint in your poorly-rated visits
Example output. Restaurant fictional; the reasoning is the real format.

What it does

Getting started

About two minutes, most of it answering six questions once.

  1. Add the connector

    In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the address above. Leave the advanced OAuth fields blank — the server handles registration.

  2. Sign in

    You'll be sent to a sign-in page and straight back. No password is ever seen by this server.

  3. Name six restaurants

    Three you enjoyed, three that disappointed you. The disappointments matter more — they're what separate your taste from the average. This alone is enough to start getting recommendations shaped around you.

  4. Log meals as you go

    Mention where you ate and what you thought. It gets meaningfully better with every one.

Also works with ChatGPT (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, Edu), Cursor, VS Code, and Gemini CLI.

Honest about what it doesn't know

Until you've logged a few meals it will tell you plainly that it has no read on your taste, rather than inventing one. Patterns drawn from thin data are labelled as tentative, and a warning based on one review out of five says so.

Being wrong out loud is the point. It's the only way you can tell whether it's actually learning.

Cost

Free to start, with a larger allowance while you're building up history. Paid plans lift the monthly limit on new restaurant lookups. Reading and writing your own history — visits, notes, dishes, preferences — is always free.
