MCP server for Uber Eats — let AI agents search restaurants, browse menus, place orders, and track deliveries.

Built by Strider Labs.

• Browse full menus with item details and prices
• Add items to cart with quantity and special instructions
• Clear cart and start fresh
• Place orders with a mandatory confirmation step
• Track active order status and delivery progress

Installation

npm install -g @striderlabs/mcp-ubereats

Or run directly with npx:

npx @striderlabs/mcp-ubereats

Configuration

Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

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

Authentication

This connector uses Playwright browser automation. On first use:

1. Call ubereats_status — it will return a login URL
2. Open the URL in your browser and log in to Uber Eats
3. Run ubereats_status again to verify the session was saved
4. Session cookies are stored at ~/.strider/ubereats/cookies.json
5. Sessions persist automatically across restarts

To log out or reset your session:

ubereats_logout

Typical Workflow

3. ubereats_search          — find restaurants
4. ubereats_get_restaurant  — browse the menu
5. ubereats_add_to_cart     — add items
6. ubereats_view_cart       — review cart
7. ubereats_checkout        — preview (confirm=false), then place (confirm=true)
8. ubereats_track_order     — track delivery

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• Playwright (Chromium browser auto-installed on first run)
• An active Uber Eats account with a saved payment method

How It Works

1. Headless Chrome — Playwright runs a real browser in the background
2. Stealth mode — Browser fingerprint mimics a real user to avoid detection
3. Cookie persistence — Login sessions are saved and reloaded automatically
4. Structured responses — All tool outputs are JSON for easy parsing

Security

• Session cookies stored locally at ~/.strider/ubereats/cookies.json
• No credentials are stored — authentication uses the browser-based Uber login flow
• Cookies never leave your machine

Limitations

• Uber Eats must be available in your region
• Menu customizations (modifiers, options) may require additional interaction
• Order placement requires a valid payment method on your Uber Eats account
• Dynamic pricing and availability may differ from what is displayed

Development

git clone https://github.com/markswendsen-code/mcp-ubereats.git
