De tea API als een MCP-server.

Verbind Claude Desktop, Cowork of elke MCP-client met de Chinese thee-encyclopedie — theeën en thema-artikelen in 72 talen met zetmethode, terroir, chemie, productiestappen, geverifieerde geografische aanduidingen en een meertalige woordenlijst — en met de b2btea.com-gids van theebedrijven. De tools staan hieronder; actuele aantallen staan in llms.txt.

Endpoint server.py REST-documentatie

Gehost — verbind via URL geen installatie

Richt elke MCP-client die remote (Streamable HTTP) servers ondersteunt naar:

https://api.thetea.app/mcp

Add an Authorization: Bearer tt_… header to use a paid key — free works without one (English only).

Clients die externe servers vanuit JSON uitlezen:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thetea": {
      "url": "https://api.thetea.app/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer tt_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

Stdio-only clients (some Claude Desktop builds) can bridge with mcp-remote:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thetea": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.thetea.app/mcp",
               "--header", "Authorization: Bearer tt_your_key"]
    }
  }
}

Alternatief — lokale Python-server

Install the runtime: pip install "mcp[cli]" httpx
Opslaan server.py ergens, noteer het absolute pad.
Add it to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thetea": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/server.py"],
      "env": { "THETEA_KEY": "tt_your_paid_key" }
    }
  }
}

Een betaalde sleutel van de prijzenpagina ontgrendelt 7 talen (Pro) of alle 72 (Expert / Lifetime).

get_tea returns Markdown for reading; get_tea_card returns the same card as JSON with every field. catalog_meta lists the section and field codes that get_field accepts. Summaries written by a model are marked as machine drafts.

Bedrijvengids

Dezelfde server opent b2btea.com, een gids van theebedrijven wereldwijd — fabrieken, groothandels, importeurs, exporteurs, theehuizen, markten en coöperaties — in 15 talen: Engels, Russisch, Chinees, Duits, Frans, Spaans, Italiaans, Portugees, Japans, Koreaans, Turks, Arabisch, Pools, Nederlands en Vietnamees.

search_companies filters by country, city, Chinese province, company type, tea, Chinese-tea focus and evidence level; each result links to its page on b2btea.com.
get_company returns the card as published on b2btea.com: description, address, phone, website, contact form, teas linked to encyclopedia articles.
company_facets counts companies by country, type, tea and region; companies_for_tea goes from an encyclopedia article to the companies that deal in that tea. The directory tags companies by tea class and a few named teas, so for most articles it falls back to the class and says so in matched.

What you will not find there: e-mail addresses, in any field. Entries come from open sources and do not claim that a company operates today; each carries its evidence level, from a website that answered a live check to a name a source mentioned. Without a key a search returns the first 10 results and no paging; company cards are always open. REST: /api/v2/companies, /api/v2/company/{slug}, /api/v2/companies/facets.
