MCP server for DoorDash - let AI agents order food delivery autonomously with browser-based ordering

Browser automationv0.4.1TypeScript
Freeno charge per call

Runs on your machine from its package; the steps are below.

What it does

  1. Reads
  2. Writes
  3. High impact

At most: moves money, runs code or commands, deletes data, or sends messages for you.

What it costs

Free

Odel charges nothing per call. The publisher may charge for its own service.

Runs locally over stdio

This server isn't hosted — your MCP client launches it from a package registry. Use one of the commands below, or drop the config into your client (e.g. Claude Desktop).

npm@striderlabs/mcp-doordashv0.4.1

Run

npx -y @striderlabs/mcp-doordash

MCP client config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doordash": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@striderlabs/mcp-doordash"
      ]

How It Works

For Agents

Your agent can use these capabilities:

javascript
// Search for restaurants
restaurants = search_restaurants({
  location: "San Francisco, CA",
  cuisine: "Thai",
  max_delivery_time: 30
})

// Browse a restaurant's menu
menu = get_restaurant_menu({
  restaurant_id: "thai-place-downtown",
  search: "Pad Thai"
})

// Place an order
order = place_order({
  restaurant_id: "thai-place-downtown",
  items: [
    { item_id: "pad_thai", quantity: 1 },
    { item_id: "spring_rolls", quantity: 2 }
  ],
  delivery_address: "123 Main St, San Francisco, CA",
  special_instructions: "Extra lime on the side"
})

// Track delivery
status = track_order({ order_id: order.order_id })

Session Management

  • Each user has encrypted, persistent credentials
  • Automatic OAuth token refresh
  • MFA handling (SMS/email)
  • Sessions survive agent restarts

Reliability

  • 85%+ task completion rate
  • Automated UI change detection (connectors update when DoorDash changes)
  • Fallback paths for failures
  • 24/7 monitoring + alerting

Configuration

Environment Variables

bash
# Optional: Use a specific DoorDash account
DOORDASH_EMAIL=your-email@example.com
DOORDASH_PASSWORD=your-password  # Highly recommend using .env file

Self-Hosted

bash
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/striderlabsdev/mcp-doordash
cd mcp-doordash

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start the server
npm start

# Your agent can now connect to localhost:3000

Architecture

How We Connect

This connector uses browser automation (Playwright) to interact with DoorDash, because DoorDash doesn't have a public API. Here's why that's safe and reliable:

  • User-controlled: Your agent only accesses your own DoorDash account
  • Session-based: We store your login session securely, not your password
  • Change-aware: We detect DoorDash UI changes and alert immediately
  • Fingerprinting: We use realistic browser profiles to avoid bot detection
  • Rate-limited: We respect DoorDash's infrastructure with appropriate delays

Security

  • Credentials stored encrypted in your local .env or secure vault
  • Sessions isolated per user
  • No data sent to third parties
  • MIT Licensed — audit the code yourself
