What is Scento Perfume API used for?

It’s a perfume knowledge connector for AI assistants—helping them search perfumes, describe note pyramids, explain raw materials, and generate comparisons and recommendations with links back to scento.com.

Do I need an API key or account?

No. The API and MCP server are free to use and don’t require an API key or account.

How do I connect it to an MCP-capable assistant?

Paste the MCP server URL scento.com/mcp into your client (e.g., Claude connectors) or add it to your mcpServers configuration for other MCP clients.

Can I use it with REST instead of MCP?

Yes. The same responses are available via REST endpoints under scento.com/api/perfume/v1, and you can pass routes with lang parameters and pagination/continuation where applicable.

What kinds of perfume questions can I ask?

You can ask for perfume portraits (notes, family, wear timing), compare perfumes, find similar scents, match by specific materials, explore the family map, and request occasion edits or small wardrobes.

Are answers linkable for sourcing?

Yes. Each response includes a scento.com page link in the response payload so readers can follow the live database entry.
