How to Use the GrabFood Partner MCP in Claude

Q: What happens if I try to cancel an order that is already being prepared?

Your agent will run checkordercancelable to see if the cancellation window is still open. If the platform allows it, the agent will call cancelorder with your specified reason. This prevents API errors and protects your merchant rating.

Handle Live Kitchen Orders in Claude Desktop

This GrabFood Partner MCP Server lets you process incoming tickets without opening a separate browser tab in Claude Desktop. Your Claude Desktop agent fetches the active GrabFood queue using `list_orders` and handles confirmations on the spot with `accept_order`. If the kitchen runs behind schedule, you adjust driver dispatch times using `update_ready_time` to prevent cold food. When food is packed, you trigger `mark_order_ready` inside Claude Desktop to summon the courier immediately. For emergencies, the Claude Desktop agent checks cancellation safety via `check_order_cancelable` before executing a clean void using `cancel_order`. This keeps your metrics clean and your kitchen moving.

Edit Menus on the Fly inside Claude Desktop

This GrabFood Partner MCP integration targets menu management directly inside your Claude Desktop chat interface. You can push rapid stock updates via `batch_update_menu` when an ingredient runs out mid-service on GrabFood. It modifies prices or marks individual items as sold out without risking a full catalog overwrite. When pushing massive seasonal updates, you deploy the full catalog using `update_menu` inside Claude Desktop. Your agent structures the JSON payload correctly, saving you from manual entry errors in the merchant portal.

Stop Store Rushes and Run Promos

This GrabFood Partner toolset manages your storefront visibility and marketing campaigns through simple Claude Desktop text prompts. When orders pile up, you halt incoming traffic instantly using `pause_store`. You then check the current operational flags via `get_store_status` to confirm the storefront is hidden. Marketing is handled by launching targeted discounts using `create_campaign` in Claude Desktop. You keep track of your active promotional budgets and performance by calling `list_campaigns` directly in your workspace.
