Order food delivery via Grubhub using AI agents

npm MCP Registry License: MIT

Part of Strider Labs — action execution for personal AI agents.

For Agents

This connector is designed for personal AI agents to autonomously order food on behalf of their human. Agents can:

  • Understand context: "My user usually orders from Thai places in the morning and Italian restaurants in the evening"
  • Optimize for preferences: Search restaurants that match dietary restrictions, price range, or past favorites
  • Execute autonomously: Place complete orders (search → menu → cart → checkout) in a single agent turn
  • Track delivery: Monitor orders and notify the user when food is arriving

Example agent workflow:

Agent: "The user said they're hungry. Search for Thai restaurants near 123 Main St, find Pad Thai, add a large order to the cart, and place it with default payment method."

The agent calls:

  1. grubhub_set_address → "123 Main St"
  2. grubhub_search_restaurants → { query: "Thai", cuisine: "Thai" }
  3. grubhub_get_restaurant → Browse menus
  4. grubhub_add_to_cart → Add Pad Thai
  5. grubhub_checkout → { confirm: true } to place order
  6. grubhub_track_order → Monitor delivery status

All in seconds, without human intervention.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
