Use ScentVerdict in ChatGPT and Claude

Ask an AI assistant about a fragrance and it answers from whatever it found on the web, which for this subject means retailer marketing and affiliate blogs. ScentVerdict runs a Model Context Protocol server, so you can point your assistant at our catalogue instead and get answers from data we hold and review ourselves.

The endpoint

https://scentverdict.com/mcp

Streamable HTTP, read-only, no account and no API key. It is free to use.

How to connect

Claude

Open Customize, then Connectors, then the plus button, then Add custom connector, and paste the endpoint above. Works on Free (one custom connector), Pro and Max. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it once under Organization settings, then Connectors, and everyone else connects to it from their own Connectors list.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http scentverdict https://scentverdict.com/mcp

ChatGPT

Custom connectors need a paid plan and developer mode. Open Settings, then Connectors, then turn on Developer mode under Advanced. Add a custom connector with the endpoint above, then pick it from the plus menu in a chat. On Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces an admin turns developer mode on for the workspace first.

Anything else

Any MCP client that supports remote servers over streamable HTTP will connect, including Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Perplexity. Point it at the same URL.

What it can answer

Six tools, all read-only:

Look up a fragrance - notes, our verdict, concentration, launch year and the lowest current UK price for a full-size bottle.
Search by name - resolves a partial or misspelled name to real catalogue entries, with concentration and launch year so flankers and reformulations can be told apart.
Find similar fragrances - scored matches from our own similarity engine, or an editorially reviewed cheaper alternative to the one you name.
Recommend fragrances - filtered on season, occasion, budget, strength, staying power and a note you like.
Compare two fragrances - shared notes, differing notes and both verdicts, side by side.
Scent profile and drydown - opening, heart and base phases, the notes in each, and an estimate of how many hours each note persists.

What it returns

Published catalogue entries only, from 31,000+ UK fragrances.
Prices are for full-size bottles in pounds sterling, with the price per millilitre alongside. Samples and decants are excluded, so a small bottle cannot pose as a bargain.
Verdicts and similarity scores are ours. They are written and reviewed here rather than gathered from search results.
When we do not hold something, the tools say so and suggest close matches rather than inventing an answer.
No purchase links, and nothing the assistant can change. Every tool reads.

Privacy

The connector needs no account, so nothing you ask is tied to a ScentVerdict profile. Requests do reach us as ordinary web traffic and are logged the same way every other request to the site is, which includes the connecting IP address and the client name. Our full privacy policy applies.
