## FAQ

### What is MCP and do I need it?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools. Drop our config into Cursor or Claude Desktop and your agent can query fragrance data directly. No MCP client? Use the same key against the REST endpoints.

### Where does the data come from?

Community fragrance knowledge - votes on longevity, sillage, seasonality, and sentiment - normalized into 0-1 scores with an n_records confidence count. Star ratings come from a 0-5 average (score × 5 for stars, not × 10). We never expose raw vote dumps, only stable, structured metrics.

### How much does it cost?

It's free during the current period - no credit card, no quotas. Fair-use rate limiting applies to keep the service healthy for everyone.

### How do I authenticate?

Generate one key in the dashboard and pass it as a bearer token. The same key works for MCP and REST. Generating a new key revokes the previous one.

### Which clients are supported?

Any MCP-compatible client - Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, and LangChain among them. Anything that speaks HTTP can use the REST endpoints.

### What is a perfume MCP server?

A perfume MCP server exposes structured fragrance data as Model Context Protocol tools so AI agents can call it directly. scentrev-mcp is India's first such server: instead of scraping fragrance sites, your agent queries normalized longevity, sillage, seasonality, accords, and community scores for 126,000+ perfumes through a single endpoint.

### How do I connect scentrev-mcp to Cursor or Claude Desktop?

Add an mcpServers block pointing at the MCP endpoint with your bearer key, then restart the client - the fragrance tools appear automatically. The docs page has copy-paste config for Cursor and Claude Desktop, with your active API key injected when you're signed in.

### How many fragrances and brands are in the database?

126,000+ fragrances across 7,500+ brands, including Lattafa, Creed, and most mainstream and niche houses. Every fragrance carries normalized 0-1 scores with an n_records confidence count.

### What fragrance data does the API return?

Longevity, sillage, projection, seasonality, occasion fit, gender lean, dominant accords, full top/heart/base note pyramids, similar fragrances, and community appreciation - all normalized to stable 0-1 scores, plus 0-5 star averages.

### Can I use the fragrance API without an MCP client?

Yes. Every MCP tool has a matching REST endpoint. Use the same bearer key with curl, JavaScript, Python, or any HTTP client - no MCP client required.

### Is there a perfume MCP for Cursor?

Yes. scentrev-mcp is a perfume MCP for Cursor: paste one mcpServers block with your Bearer key, restart Cursor, and the fragrance tools appear. The Cursor perfume MCP setup page has the exact JSON.

### What is the best fragrance API for developers?

If you need structured longevity, sillage, notes, and filters — not HTML from a review site — use a perfume database API like scentrev-mcp. It is the same catalog as the perfume MCP, exposed over REST with a free key.

### Can ChatGPT use a perfume MCP or perfume API?

If your ChatGPT setup supports MCP servers, point it at the scentrev-mcp endpoint with a Bearer key. If it only speaks HTTPS, call the perfume API (REST) from an action or backend. Same fragrance data either way.

### Do you offer a fragrance MCP as well as a perfume MCP?

Yes. scentrev-mcp is both a fragrance MCP and a perfume MCP — one server, one key. Fragrance MCP is the industry wording; perfume MCP is the same catalog. Start at the fragrance MCP page if that is the phrase you searched.

### Is there a cologne MCP?

Yes. A cologne MCP is this same server. Cologne, perfume, and fragrance share one catalog of 126,000+ scents. Search either wording and you get the same tools, including find_dupes for cheaper similars.

### What is a perfume dupe finder?

A perfume dupe finder returns cheaper fragrances the community treats as similar to one you name. The tool is find_dupes. get_reminds_of is the closest smell with no price filter. The dupe finder guide shows the sequence.

### How is a fragrance MCP different from browsing Fragrantica?

A website is for humans. A fragrance MCP is for agents: stable JSON, capped result sets, normalized 0-1 scores, and no scraping. scentrev-mcp does not replace reading reviews; it gives models numbers they can filter on.

### What is a fragrance MCP?

A fragrance MCP is a Model Context Protocol server whose tools are fragrance data: search, wear scores, accords, note pyramids, and comparisons. AI clients such as Cursor and Claude Desktop call those tools instead of guessing notes from training data.

### What is a fragrance MCP server?

A fragrance MCP server is the process that hosts those tools. scentrev-mcp is a free fragrance MCP server with 126,000+ scents, a Bearer API key, and matching REST endpoints if you do not use MCP.

### Is fragrance MCP the same as perfume MCP?

Yes — same catalog, same endpoint, same key. Fragrance MCP is the industry wording (Europe, the Gulf, niche houses). Perfume MCP is the same product with US search wording. Use /fragrance-mcp or /perfume-mcp; both describe scentrev-mcp.

### Is there a free fragrance MCP for Cursor?

Yes. Create a frag_live_ key, paste the scentrev-mcp block into Cursor MCP settings, and restart. The fragrance tools appear with no credit card during the current period.

### How do I install a fragrance MCP in Claude Desktop?

Add an mcpServers entry pointing at https://api.scentrev.com/mcp/ with Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY, then restart Claude Desktop. The Claude perfume MCP page has the JSON.

### What does a fragrance MCP return?

Normalized 0–1 longevity, sillage, projection, season, and appreciation scores with an n_records count, plus accords and top/heart/base notes. List tools cap at 10 rows so agents cannot scrape the catalog.

### Fragrance MCP vs fragrance API — which should I use?

Use fragrance MCP inside Cursor, Claude Desktop, Cline, or Windsurf. Use the fragrance API (REST) from Python, Node, or any HTTPS client. One key works on both.

## Auth

Create a free key at https://mcp.scentrev.com/login. Send it as Authorization: Bearer frag_live_…. The same key works for the perfume MCP and the fragrance API.
