      "args": ["-y", "@striderlabs/mcp-opentable"]

How It Works

For Agents

Your agent can use these capabilities:

// 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
