For Five Coffee MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to For Five Coffee menu data. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients, plus provides a REST API.
Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/Kong/for-five-mcp.git
cd for-five-mcp
npm install
npm startThis starts both:
MCP Server (stdio) - for AI assistants
HTTP API (port 3000) - for web apps
MCP Client Setup
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"for-five-coffee": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/for-five-mcp/server.js"]
}
}
}Cursor
Option 1: Let Cursor start the server
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"for-five-coffee": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/for-five-mcp/server.js"],
"env": {
"PORT": "3000"
}
}
}
}Option 2: Connect to already running server
If you're running npm start separately, add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"for-five-coffee": {
"url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp",
"transport": "http"
}
}
}This connects Cursor to the running MCP server via HTTP JSON-RPC 2.0 transport.
Usage Examples
Ask Your AI Assistant
"What coffee drinks does For Five Coffee have?"
"Search for pastries on the menu"
"What's the cheapest coffee option?"
"Show me all tea varieties"
Use the HTTP API
# Get full menu
curl http://localhost:3000/api/menu
# Search for items
curl "http://localhost:3000/api/menu/search?q=latte"
# Get categories
curl http://localhost:3000/api/menu/categoriesIn Your Code
// Fetch menu data
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/menu');
const menu = await response.json();
// Search items
const search = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/menu/search?q=coffee');
const results = await search.json();import requests
# Get menu
menu = requests.get('http://localhost:3000/api/menu').json()
# Search
results = requests.get('http://localhost:3000/api/menu/search',
