Common questions

Is Scento Perfume API (MCP server) safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 17 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Scento Perfume API (MCP server): Perfume API, Fragrance API and Perfume MCP Server

Scento Perfume API is a free perfume API and perfume MCP server for developers, AI agents and fragrance apps. One endpoint gives you Scento's verified perfume database: 1,500+ perfumes from 160+ houses and 400+ raw materials, each with a full notes pyramid (top, heart and base notes), scent family, occasion and similar-scent links. Every pyramid is traced to the house or an authorized retailer, so the notes you return are the notes on the bottle, not scraped guesses.

Connect it as a remote MCP server at https://www.scento.com/mcp (works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and any MCP client) or call the REST fragrance API at https://www.scento.com/api/perfume/v1 with the OpenAPI spec at https://www.scento.com/api/perfume/v1/openapi.json. No API key, no sign-up, no rate-limit tiers to buy: it is free.

12 tools cover the real jobs: perfume-search, perfume-portrait, scent-neighbours, perfume-contrast, note-portrait, material-match, house-portrait, family-map, occasion-edit, wardrobe-composer, perfumery-lexicon, journal-search. Search a perfume by name or by notes, get a perfume notes API response with pyramid and family, find similar scents, contrast two perfumes, look up a fragrance ingredient (raw material) and match it to the perfumes that use it, map a scent family, build an occasion edit or a wardrobe, and read the perfumery lexicon.

Why it beats other perfume APIs: free with no key, MCP and REST and OpenAPI in one service, a notes database and a fragrance ingredients database in the same place, answers in 10 languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Greek), and sourcing you can trust. Built and maintained by Scento, the perfume atelier. Docs: https://www.scento.com/developers

A free perfume and fragrance API and MCP server for AI assistants, built on Scento's verified perfume database. From Scento, a perfume decant house founded in Paris in 2024.

Ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client for a perfume's notes and family, the difference between two you are torn over, similar scents built on the same structure, or what a raw material such as ambroxan smells like. The perfume database covers 1,500+ designer and niche perfumes, 400+ raw materials, 160+ houses and Scento's own fragrance-family system, and every answer is tied to a page on scento.com. No key, no account, read-only.

Remote server: https://www.scento.com/mcp (streamable HTTP, no authentication) Docs: https://www.scento.com/developers Claude: Available in Claude's connectors directory. Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add Scento-com/perfume-mcp-server, then /plugin install scento-perfume-api@scento. Gemini CLI: gemini extensions install https://github.com/Scento-com/perfume-mcp-server

Connect the perfume MCP server

Client	How
Claude (web, desktop, mobile)	Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector. Paste `https://www.scento.com/mcp`.
ChatGPT	Settings, Connectors, create a connector in developer mode. Server URL `https://www.scento.com/mcp`, authentication none.
Cursor	Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`: `{"mcpServers":{"scento-perfume-api":{"url":"https://www.scento.com/mcp"}}}`
VS Code	Add to `.vscode/mcp.json`: `{"servers":{"scento-perfume-api":{"type":"http","url":"https://www.scento.com/mcp"}}}`

Clients that only run local servers can use the stdio bridge in this repo:

npx -y scento-perfume-api     # Node 18+

uvx scento-perfume-api # Python 3.9+

Both accept --endpoint (or SCENTO_PERFUME_API_ENDPOINT). The same bridge is also published as perfume-mcp-server and perfume-database on npm and PyPI.
