# @striderlabs/mcp-opentable
**Book restaurant reservations via OpenTable using AI agents**
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@striderlabs/mcp-opentable)
[](https://mcpservers.org/servers/strider-labs-opentable)

Part of [Strider Labs](https://github.com/striderlabsdev/striderlabs) — action execution for personal AI agents.
## Get Started in 2 Minutes
### For Claude Desktop Users
1. Add this to your Claude Desktop config:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"opentable": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@striderlabs/mcp-opentable"]
}
}
}
```
2. Restart Claude.
3. Tell Claude: *"Book a table for 4 at an Italian restaurant for 7 PM tonight"*
Your agent can now book reservations. That's it.

## How It Works
### For Agents
Your agent can use these capabilities:
```javascript
// Search for restaurants
restaurants = search_restaurants({
location: "San Francisco, CA",
cuisine: "Italian",
price_range: "$$",
date: "2026-04-15",
party_size: 4,
time: "19:00"
})
// Get detailed restaurant info
details = get_restaurant_details({
restaurant_id: "ristorante-milano-sf"
})
// Check availability
availability = check_availability({
restaurant_id: "ristorante-milano-sf",
party_size: 4,
date: "2026-04-15",
time: "19:00"
})
// Make a reservation
booking = make_reservation({
restaurant_id: "ristorante-milano-sf",
party_size: 4,
date: "2026-04-15",
time: "19:00",
special_requests: "Window seat if possible"
})
// View your reservations
reservations = get_my_reservations()
```
### 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 OpenTable changes)
- Fallback paths for failures
- 24/7 monitoring + alerting
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
```bash
# Optional: Use a specific OpenTable account
OPENTABLE_EMAIL=your-email@example.com
OPENTABLE_PASSWORD=your-password # Highly recommend using .env file
```
### Self-Hosted
```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/striderlabsdev/mcp-opentable
cd mcp-opentable
# 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 OpenTable, because OpenTable doesn't have a comprehensive public API for reservations. Here's why that's safe and reliable:
- **User-controlled:** Your agent only accesses your own OpenTable account
- **Session-based:** We store your login session securely, not your password
- **Change-aware:** We detect OpenTable UI changes and alert immediately
- **Fingerprinting:** We use realistic browser profiles to avoid bot detection
- **Rate-limited:** We respect OpenTable'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
