What is Elf & AI?
Elf & AI is a feature that lets you connect your favourite AI tool (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Gemini) to your vineyard and winery data. Talk to your data in a natural way - ask about batch records, forecasts and production statistics.
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard created by Anthropic that allows AI tools to connect to external data sources. Thanks to MCP, your Claude Desktop (or another AI) can “see” your batch records, blend cards, weather data and everything you keep in VineyardElf/WineryElf.
Supported AI tools:
- Claude Desktop - native MCP support
- ChatGPT - via plugin/GPT Actions
- Gemini - via extensions
- Cursor, Windsurf - IDEs with built-in AI
- Others - REST API for any integration
How to set it up?
Step 1: Generate a token
In the “Elf & AI” tab, click the “Generate MCP token” button. The token grants access to your data only.
Step 2: Configure your AI
Add our MCP server to your AI tool’s configuration:
Claude Desktop (~/.config/claude-desktop/config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"vineyardelf": {
"url": "https://elf.intum.pl/mcp/YOUR_APP_ID",
"token": "YOUR_TOKEN"
}
}
}
Step 3: Talk to your data
Now you can ask your AI about your vineyard data:
- “How much wine did I produce this year?”
- “Show me the latest blend card”
- “What’s the weather forecast for tomorrow?”
- “Should I be worried about downy mildew?”
