About

10ML Perfume Finder is a free Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and fragrance API that lets AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT answer perfume questions with structured, editor-curated data instead of guesswork. General-purpose chatbots often give vague or inconsistent fragrance advice because they lack a reliable source of note pyramids, accords and house information; this server supplies that knowledge base directly.

The service is built and maintained by 10ML, publisher of the 10ML Fragrance Index, which covers 6,019 perfumes from 249 houses along with 285 explained notes and 164 guides in ten languages. Connecting takes a single URL over Streamable HTTP with no API key, no sign-up and no authentication. A REST mirror with an OpenAPI 3.1 description is available for applications that do not use MCP, and the server can also run locally as a stdio server through npm or PyPI packages.

Key Features

Perfume search and profiles: Users can search 6,019 perfumes by name, note, accord, family, audience, season, occasion or style, and retrieve full profiles including top, heart and base notes, accords, seasons and occasions.
Similar perfumes and alternatives: Tools find scents that resemble a favorite perfume or a list of notes, with steering options such as fresher, sweeter or darker, plus editor-selected alternatives from other houses.
Comparison and recommendation: Two to four perfumes can be placed side by side to show shared notes and differences, and recommendations account for likes, dislikes and notes to avoid, each with a stated reason.
Education and vocabulary: Dedicated tools explain individual notes, perfume terms such as sillage or chypre, house histories, layering suggestions and occasion-based picks.
Gift finder: A tool that generates gift ideas based on the recipient, what they already love and how adventurous the choice should be.
Developer-friendly design: The server exposes 15 read-only tools with output schemas, 6 prompts, resources and completions, and a REST mirror with OpenAPI 3.1 documentation.
Multilingual guides: Every answer can link to matching 10ml.com guides and note pages in ten languages, including English, German, French, Spanish and Italian.
