Laurent-Perrier keeps 16% of its revenue, Penfolds' owner lost 42%: a free MCP server that ranks 47 wine companies

A developer built VINCAP, a free MCP server that exposes financial records for 47 listed wine companies to AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, returning each figure with the source filing URL and page locator. The server ranks companies on user-set weights across revenue growth, net margin, share price, wine share of revenue and distance from the 52-week high, and lists companies missing a weighted figure as unscored rather than scoring them zero. In its margin ranking, Laurent-Perrier leads at 16.3% while Treasury Wine Estates, owner of Penfolds, sits at −42.1%.

We put the VINCAP record of listed wine companies behind an MCP server, so you can ask Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor about wine stocks and get answers with the filing each number came from. No key, no sign-in.

Ask it to rank every tracked company by net margin (latest reported period) and the top and bottom look like this:

Rank Company Country Net margin Period
1 Laurent-Perrier France 16.3 % FY to 31 Mar 2026
2 PT Hatten Bali Indonesia 13.8 % FY to 31 Dec 2025
3 Wine's Link International Hong Kong 11.2 % FY to 31 Mar 2026
4 Delegat Group New Zealand 10.8 % FY to 30 Jun 2026
5 CITIC Niya Wine China 9.3 % H1 to 30 Jun 2026
…
41 Treasury Wine Estates Australia −42.1 % FY to 30 Jun 2026
42 Scheid Vineyards USA −44.3 % H1 to 31 Aug 2026
43 Vifrana Romania −144.6 % H1 to 30 Jun 2026

Treasury Wine Estates owns Penfolds. Its fiscal-2026 revenue was A$2,561 million and its net result was a loss of A$1,078.7 million; the server returns both lines with the results announcement PDF and the page they were read from.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http vincap https://vincap.co/api/mcp

Cursor and other MCP clients (Streamable HTTP, no key):

{ "mcpServers": { "vincap": { "url": "https://vincap.co/api/mcp" } } }

Or call it raw, it is plain JSON-RPC over HTTP:

curl -s https://vincap.co/api/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
       "params":{"name":"rank_wine_companies",
                 "arguments":{"weights":{"margin":5},"limit":5}}}'

In the margin ranking above, 43 of 47 companies are scored; Lanson-BCC, Maison Pommery & Associés, Bodegas Riojanas and Thang Long Wine come back at the end with "missing": ["margin"]. A zero would quietly push them to the bottom of a list an agent then summarises as fact.

The full investor calendar with recorded outcomes and the monthly estates record are paid per call over x402 ($0.01 in USDC); everything above is free.
