MCP server for Grubhub - let AI agents order food delivery
README
Order food delivery via Grubhub using AI agents
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:
grubhub_set_address→ "123 Main St"grubhub_search_restaurants→ { query: "Thai", cuisine: "Thai" }grubhub_get_restaurant→ Browse menusgrubhub_add_to_cart→ Add Pad Thaigrubhub_checkout→ { confirm: true } to place ordergrubhub_track_order→ Monitor delivery status
All in seconds, without human intervention.
