doordash — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
This MCP server lets an agent search DoorDash, build a cart, place a food order, and follow delivery status through browser automation.
claude mcp add --env DOORDASH_EMAIL=<DOORDASH_EMAIL> --env DOORDASH_PASSWORD=<DOORDASH_PASSWORD> --env DOORDASH_ADDRESS=<DOORDASH_ADDRESS> --transport stdio doordash -- npx -y @striderlabs/mcp-doordashWhat doordash does
The server connects an agent to DoorDash through Playwright browser automation. It can search restaurants by location, cuisine, or food type, inspect menus and prices, add items with quantities and instructions, and submit an order after confirmation. Delivery status can be checked afterward.
Set DOORDASH_EMAIL, DOORDASH_PASSWORD, and DOORDASH_ADDRESS for the account and delivery address. Login sessions persist across restarts, with MFA handled through SMS or email. The server runs through npx and requires Node.js 18+. Because DoorDash has no public API, its operation depends on the DoorDash interface; UI changes can interrupt ordering until the connector is updated.
What it helps with
- search for restaurants by location and cuisine
- inspect menu items and prices
- build a cart with quantities and notes
- submit an order after confirmation
- track an existing delivery
Example prompts for the agent
- Find nearby Thai restaurants and show their available dishes.
- Build a DoorDash cart from these items and include the restaurant note I provide.
- Place the delivery order using
DOORDASH_ADDRESS, then check its current status.
