Opentable
Give your AI agent OpenTable search and reservation tools so dining plans and bookings happen inside MCP chat sessions.
Overview
OpenTable MCP is a Build-phase MCP server that lets AI agents search restaurants and book or manage OpenTable reservations using account env credentials.
What is this MCP server?
- Search restaurants and availability through agent tool calls
- Book and manage OpenTable reservations from the MCP host
- Requires OPENTABLE_EMAIL and OPENTABLE_PASSWORD env vars (password treated as secret)
- Optional OPENTABLE_LOCATION default for city-scoped searches
- @striderlabs/mcp-opentable v0.1.2 stdio on npm
- Server version 0.1.2
- npm package @striderlabs/mcp-opentable
- 3 documented environment variables (2 required: email, password; 1 optional: location)
What problem does it solve?
Coordinating restaurant reservations still means context-switching from your agent to OpenTable while juggling times, party size, and confirmation details by hand.
Who is it for?
Builders who want hands-off or agent-assisted OpenTable booking from Claude Code, Cursor, or another stdio MCP client.
Skip if: Users uncomfortable storing OpenTable passwords in local env vars or anyone who needs concierge-level human support instead of scripted booking.
What do I get? / Deliverables
With OpenTable MCP configured, your agent can query dining options and drive reservation actions from the same MCP session after you set email, password, and optional default location.
- Configured OpenTable MCP server with required auth env vars
- Agent-accessible reservation and search tools per server implementation
- Optional default search geography via OPENTABLE_LOCATION

Journey fit
Restaurant booking via MCP is agent-side integration work during Build, when you compose personal automation stacks alongside your product. OpenTable ships as @striderlabs/mcp-opentable with required env credentials—typical external-service wiring for agent-tooling.
How it compares
OpenTable reservation MCP bridge, not a hospitality analytics or CRM integration skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is OpenTable MCP for?
It is for MCP users who already automate work with AI agents and want OpenTable search and booking as structured tools rather than manual browser steps.
When should I use OpenTable MCP?
Use it when you regularly book tables through OpenTable and want the agent to find slots, submit reservations, or adjust plans while you stay in your dev environment.
How do I add OpenTable MCP to my agent?
Install @striderlabs/mcp-opentable, add stdio server config with OPENTABLE_EMAIL and OPENTABLE_PASSWORD (and OPENTABLE_LOCATION if desired), then reload your MCP host.
