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.
