How It Works

For Agents

Your agent can use these capabilities:

// Search for products
products = search_products({
  query: "organic milk",
  location: "San Francisco, CA"
})

// Browse a store's offerings
store_products = get_store_products({
  store_id: "whole_foods_sf",
  category: "Dairy"
})

// Add to cart
add_to_cart({
  product_id: "organic_milk_gallon",
  quantity: 2,
  special_instructions: "Cold stock, please"
})

// Place an order
order = place_order({
  delivery_time: "tomorrow morning",
  delivery_address: "123 Main St, San Francisco, CA",
  special_instructions: "Ring the doorbell twice"
})

// 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 Instacart changes)
Fallback paths for failures
24/7 monitoring + alerting

Authentication

The MCP server uses a persistent browser profile (~/.strider/instacart/browser-profile) so your login session survives server restarts automatically.

First-time login

Set INSTACART_HEADLESS=false in your MCP server config so the browser window is visible:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "instacart": {
      "command": "npx
