COLA Cloud — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Connects AI assistants to US TTB alcohol label approvals, beverage producer permits, and agency processing time benchmarks via hosted HTTP.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://mcp.colacloud.us/mcpWhat COLA Cloud does
COLA Cloud exposes federal US alcohol registry records directly to coding assistants. The service runs remotely over streamable HTTP, so there is no local process to build or maintain. Connection requires pointing the client to the hosted endpoint and completing OAuth authentication or providing an API token.
Six read-only tools cover the workflow. Assistants can filter label approvals across beer, wine, and spirits, look up individual records by federal TTB identifier, inspect permit holders by state or name, and pull processing-time estimates. Each search returns up to 20 records per request, with date-less queries defaulting to the preceding 90 days.
Every request runs against an active COLA Cloud account and consumes list or detail quotas. The connector cannot modify database records, create watchlists, or run without an established account on app.colacloud.us.
What it helps with
- Search alcohol label approvals by brand, product category, or date
- Fetch label details and document references by federal TTB identifier
- Look up beverage permit holders across US states
- Check current TTB application processing timelines
Example prompts for the agent
