in the barrelpoint out a mistake and the house learns

Vinhozinho inside your Claude or ChatGPT

You ask about wine your own way, and the assistant answers with what the house has: the rating from people who drank it, the checked price range and the link to each wine.

  • Takes 2 minutes
  • Just once
  • Free
  • No sign-up
A real example. The assistant writes the answer; the wines, ratings and prices come from the house.

Which one do you use?

Tap yours. The steps show up right below.

In Claude, in 5 steps

Before you start: do it on a computer or in your phone's browser (Chrome or Safari, at claude.ai). Once it's connected, it works in the phone app too. The free Claude plan allows one connector like this.

  1. Open the connectors window

    Tap the button. It opens Claude straight on the Add custom connector window. If asked, sign in to your account.

    Open Claude in the right place ↗

    Didn't open? In Claude, go to Customize › Connectors › Add › Add custom connector.

  2. Type the name and paste the address

    In Name, type Vinhozinho. In MCP server URL, paste this address:

    https://vinhozinho.com.br/mcp

    Then tap Continue.

  3. Wait for the check and add it

    Claude checks the address on its own (you'll see Checking the server…). No password or login needed. When it's done, tap Add.

    Got “A connector with this URL already exists”? Then it's already connected: skip to step 4.

  4. Turn Vinhozinho on in the chat

    Start a new chat. Tap the + below the message box, then Connectors, and leave the Vinhozinho toggle on (blue).

  5. Ask, and let Claude use it

    Ask your wine question. The first time, Claude asks permission to use Vinhozinho: tap allow. If you pick always, it won't ask again.

In ChatGPT

Before: in ChatGPT, connecting a connector like this still depends on your plan and is done on a computer. If the option doesn't show up in your account, use Claude, which allows it on the free plan. The names below come from OpenAI's help pages; if something looks different, let the house know at the end of the page.

  1. Open the Plugins page

    On a computer, go to ChatGPT and open Plugins, in the left-hand menu.

    Open ChatGPT's Plugins ↗

  2. Add an MCP server

    Tap the + and choose Add custom MCP server.

  3. Name, address and “No authentication”

    In the name, type Vinhozinho. In the server address, paste:

    https://vinhozinho.com.br/mcp

    Under Authentication, choose No authentication.

  4. Confirm and create

    ChatGPT shows a warning about outside servers. Tick I understand and want to continue and create it. If it asks you to install the plugin, install it.

  5. Call Vinhozinho in the chat

    In a chat, type @ and pick Vinhozinho. Then ask your wine question.

Done. Try one of these

Copy and paste it into your assistant. If the answer brings Vinhozinho links, it's working.

  • What red should I bring for salt cod, up to about 150 reais? Use Vinhozinho.
  • Recommend 3 well-rated Argentine Malbecs and their price range in Brazil.
  • What is perlage? And what is tannin?
  • Tell me about the Douro region and give me two wines from there.

Didn't work? The most common fixes

I can't find “Customize” or “Connectors”

In the phone app this option may not show up. Do it on a computer, or open claude.ai in your phone's browser (Chrome or Safari) and use the button in step 1.

I got “A connector with this URL already exists”

Then Vinhozinho is already in your account. Go straight to step 4 and turn on the toggle in the chat.

The free plan won't let me add it

The free Claude plan allows one connector like this. If you already have another one, remove it in Customize › Connectors, or use a paid plan.

It asked for a password, login or key

Vinhozinho doesn't ask for any of that. Check that the address is complete, with /mcp at the end: https://vinhozinho.com.br/mcp

It answered without using Vinhozinho

Check that the toggle is on in the chat (the +, then Connectors). It also helps to write “use Vinhozinho” at the end of your question.

What it answers

  • Wines: the house search, with more than 50,000 labels, the rating from people who drank them, the checked price range in Brazil and the link to each wine's page.
  • Wine page: grapes, region, body, acidity, alcohol and what it goes with.
  • Learn: the guides, the 100 glossary terms, the grapes and the regions, with the source of each fact.
  • Wineries: country, region, how many labels and the most rated ones.

What stays out

Nothing about people: your cellar, the community's ratings, nicknames and conversations don't go out through here. Neither do the restaurant wine lists. It's read-only: the assistant writes nothing to the house, and the house doesn't keep your conversation. The house doesn't sell wine, and nobody pays to show up. Content for adults 18 and over. Drink in moderation, and a glass of water between glasses of wine.
