Kroger
Wire Kroger grocery search, cart, and checkout into Claude Code or Cursor so your agent can run shopping tasks from one chat.
Overview
Kroger MCP is a Build-phase MCP server that lets AI agents search Kroger products, manage carts, and place grocery orders over stdio.
What is this MCP server?
- Search Kroger product catalog from agent tool calls
- Add, update, and review cart contents without leaving the IDE
- Place grocery orders through authenticated Kroger flows
- Ships as @striderlabs/mcp-kroger v0.1.0 with stdio transport
- Open-source server.json on GitHub (markswendsen-code/mcp-kroger)
- Server version 0.1.0 per MCP server.schema.json
- npm identifier @striderlabs/mcp-kroger
- Transport type stdio
What problem does it solve?
Grocery shopping still means leaving your agent to search Kroger in a browser and manually reconcile carts with what you asked for in chat.
Who is it for?
Solo builders who live in Claude Code or Cursor and want Kroger catalog, cart, and order actions as callable MCP tools.
Skip if: Teams that need enterprise procurement, offline shopping, or a polished consumer app without managing MCP credentials and API limits.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you add Kroger MCP, your agent can search items, maintain a cart, and initiate orders from the same session where you code and plan.
- Registered stdio MCP server for Kroger in your agent config
- Callable tools for product search, cart management, and order placement
- GitHub-backed server manifest at markswendsen-code/mcp-kroger for updates
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Consumer API bridges belong on the Build shelf under integrations because they extend the agent with external services during product and workflow construction. Kroger is an npm stdio MCP package that plugs into the agent host—classic agent-tooling integration work, not a standalone app feature.
How it compares
Kroger-focused MCP integration, not a general e-commerce skill or marketplace plugin.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Kroger MCP for?
It is for developers and indie builders who use MCP-enabled agents and want Kroger search, cart, and ordering inside that workflow.
When should I use Kroger MCP?
Use it when you repeatedly shop Kroger and want the agent to query products, update a cart, or place orders instead of switching to the Kroger app or site.
How do I add Kroger MCP to my agent?
Install @striderlabs/mcp-kroger from npm, add a stdio MCP server entry pointing at that package in Claude Code or Cursor, restart the host, and grant any Kroger auth the server documents.
