How It Works

For Agents

Your agent can use these capabilities:

// 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

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

Self-Hosted

# 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
