COLA Cloud MCP for ChatGPT

Connect ChatGPT or another MCP client to COLA Cloud tools for COLA search, barcode lookup, permittees, usage, and TTB reference datasets.

What assistants can do

  • Ask an assistant to find products, brands, categories, or newly approved COLAs.
  • Look up a barcode and return the matching approval record and label context.
  • Explore permittee data without translating every question into API calls.
  • Let coding agents discover the schema and call tools while building an application.

Connect the remote server

Use a COLA Cloud API key as the Bearer token. The remote server uses the same API permissions and quota model as the REST API. The setup details are in the MCP setup docs.
