doordash_add_to_cart
Add a menu item to the cart. Must be on a restaurant page first (use doordash_menu).
LABSCO SUMMARY
Ordering food is a state machine, and this exposes it as one.
Authenticate, set an address, search, open a menu, fill a cart, preview, confirm — with the ordering constraints written into the tools rather than left to be discovered. doordash_set_address states that it must be set before searching, doordash_add_to_cart states that you must be on a restaurant page from doordash_menu first, and doordash_auth_check states that it comes before any other operation, so the sequence is legible from the tool list alone. The call that commits is guarded: doordash_checkout defaults to a preview, and confirm=true is the separate, deliberate act that places the order. Authentication is a stored session rather than a key, which makes doordash_auth_check the honest first call and doordash_auth_clear the way out of a stale one.
What it is
A DoorDash ordering surface exposed as an ordered set of calls — session check, delivery address, restaurant search, menu, cart, checkout, order tracking.
What you get
- Session state you can check and reset: doordash_auth_check returns login status along with instructions when the session is not authenticated, and doordash_auth_clear drops the stored session cookies.
- The delivery context that everything else depends on: doordash_set_address takes an address and is what makes restaurant search possible.
- Finding somewhere to order from: doordash_search takes a restaurant name, a food type or a cuisine; doordash_menu returns a restaurant's full menu by restaurantId as categories and items with prices.
- Cart construction: doordash_add_to_cart adds an itemName from a restaurantId with a quantity and specialInstructions; doordash_cart returns the current contents with quantities and totals.
- A checkout with a rehearsal: doordash_checkout previews the order details with confirm=false and places the order with confirm=true.
- What happens after: doordash_track_order returns delivery progress, estimated time and dasher info where the platform reports it, for a given orderId.
Requirements
A DoorDash session you are already logged in to — doordash_auth_check reports whether the stored session is valid and doordash_auth_clear resets it. Nothing else to configure.
Setup effort
One command — npx @striderlabs/mcp-doordash
USE CASES
01
Ordering dinner without opening the app
Confirm the session, set where it is going, find somewhere, build the cart, then read the preview before confirming.
02
Pricing a delivery order up before committing to it
Find the restaurants that serve the address, read their menus and prices, and see what the cart totals to without placing anything.
03
Finding out where an order has got to
Check the delivery progress and the estimated time against an order id.
04
Resetting a stale or wrong DoorDash session
Clear the stored cookies and confirm the server sees the session as logged out before signing in again.
