What you can do with this MCP connector
You gotta manage your whole food delivery setup—from updating menus to tracking orders and assigning drivers—without even touching the iFood app. Your AI client handles all the heavy lifting for your business. You'll use this server to automate order intake, keep your menu fresh, and run operations across multiple spots.
Handling Orders and Logistics
Your agent can get a list of all orders for any store, letting you filter by status like PENDING or ACCEPTED. You can grab full details on a single order, checking customer info, the items, and the total cost. To process an order, you can use update_order_status to move it through its whole lifecycle, whether you need to change it from 'Pending' to 'Delivered,' or mark it 'Cancelled.' You can track the whole delivery process by pulling detailed delivery info using get_logistics, and if you need to get a driver assigned, you just run assign_driver with the order ID and driver ID.
Managing Stores and Catalogs
You can list every store ID, name, and address linked to your iFood merchant account using get_stores. Need to know what hours a spot is open? You can check the current schedule with get_business_hours, or update the store's operating hours for any day of the week using update_business_hours. To see how a specific location is set up, pull its full configuration details with get_store_details.
When it comes to the menu, your agent can retrieve the entire menu structure using get_catalog, or check item availability and prepare for pricing or description updates. You'll use update_catalog_item to change a specific menu item's price, set its availability, or swap out its description for a given store.
Daily Operations
It's simple. You tell your agent what you want—like, 'Accept all pending orders and check tomorrow's hours.' Your AI client runs the necessary tools, executing the tasks directly against your iFood account. You don't have to manually click through the app. You'll run get_orders to pull lists of orders, letting you filter by status, customer info, and timestamps.
You can also manage your entire inventory and pricing by using update_catalog_item to adjust details, or just run get_catalog to review the whole menu.
How iFood MCP Works
- 1 Connect your iFood merchant account using a JWT token from the iFood Developer Portal.
- 2 Ask your AI client to perform a task using natural language commands (e.g., 'Update the price for X and check all pending orders').
- 3 The agent selects the required tool(s) and runs them, reporting the outcome directly to you.
The bottom line is, your AI client talks to iFood using structured tools, bypassing the app interface entirely.
Who Is iFood MCP For?
This is for restaurant owners, multi-location food managers, and ghost kitchen operators. If your business processes more than 20 orders a day and you spend time manually updating menus or changing order statuses, this saves hours of clicking and reduces human error.
Manages daily operations, setting store hours via update_business_hours and reviewing store configuration using get_store_details.
Monitors order flow, using get_orders to find pending orders, and then progresses them using update_order_status.
Maintains the catalog, using get_catalog to review items and update_catalog_item to adjust prices or availability.

get_ordersfollowed byupdate_order_statusto process entire batches of orders.
Real-World Use Cases
Processing a sudden rush of orders
A manager notices a spike in pending orders. They ask their agent to "Check all pending orders and accept them.". The agent runs get_orders (filtering for PENDING), then iterates through the list, calling update_order_status for each one, getting the entire batch accepted in seconds.
Updating pricing across multiple locations
The marketing team needs to raise the price of a signature item. Instead of logging into each store portal, they ask their agent to run get_stores to find all IDs, then loop through the IDs, calling update_catalog_item to apply the new price everywhere.
Handling a cancelled or delayed order
An order gets stuck and the customer calls. The manager asks the agent to "Check the order details and mark it as cancelled.". The agent runs get_order_details for the specific ID, confirming the contents, and then uses update_order_status to change the status to CANCELLED.
Coordinating delivery staff
The kitchen is ready for an order, but no driver is assigned. The worker asks the agent to "Get logistics info and assign a driver.". The agent calls get_logistics to confirm the order status, then calls assign_driver with the necessary IDs.
Preparing for a holiday closure
It's the week before a major holiday. The owner asks the agent to "Set the store hours for the holiday week.". The agent uses update_business_hours to set the required schedule across all relevant days.
The Tradeoffs
Over-relying on the mobile app
Trying to process 50 orders and update 10 menu items by manually clicking through the iFood app screens. This takes hours, is prone to errors, and requires constant context switching.
→
Use your agent to run get_orders to pull the full list, and then use update_order_status to process the batch. For menu updates, just run update_catalog_item with the item ID and new price.
Forgetting the required IDs
Asking the agent to 'Update the store hours' without knowing if the store ID is current or what the correct format is.
→
First, run get_stores to get all valid store IDs. Then, use get_store_details to verify the specific location's configuration before calling update_business_hours.
Using the wrong scope for data
Trying to find the delivery status for a store's general catalog listing, which will fail.
→
Always use get_logistics to track delivery status, as it is designed for order fulfillment. If you need menu items, use get_catalog.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP Server if your job requires coordinating multiple, distinct actions across the iFood platform. You need to perform a sequence of tasks—like checking order status (get_orders), getting details (get_order_details), and then updating the status (update_order_status). Don't use this if you just need to view a single page (like checking a store's hours). For single reads, get_business_hours is sufficient. If you only manage the menu, stick to get_catalog and update_catalog_item. This server handles the full operational loop: read data, and then write data back to the platform.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 11 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Dealing with iFood's app interface is a nightmare of clicks and context switching.
Today, if you need to process a batch of orders or update a single item's price, you have to log into the iFood app and manually click through multiple screens. You find the order list, click into each order to check the details, then find the status button to change it. If you have 50 orders, that's 50 sets of clicks and copy-pasting.
With this MCP Server, your agent handles the whole thing in a single prompt. You ask it to 'Accept all pending orders.' The agent runs `get_orders`, finds the pending ones, and uses `update_order_status` to process the entire batch instantly. You just get the confirmation.
iFood MCP Server: Automate order flow and menu updates
You no longer need to manually adjust every store's opening hours, or track down a driver's status by jumping between different portals. Your agent uses `update_business_hours` to set the schedule, and `get_logistics` to confirm driver assignment—all without you opening a browser tab.
The platform gives you direct, programmatic control over the entire operational state. It's not just viewing data; it's changing the data. That's the difference.
Common Questions About iFood MCP
How do I check the current status of all orders using the get_orders tool? +
The get_orders tool lists all orders for your store. You can filter the results by status (PENDING, ACCEPTED, etc.) to see exactly what needs attention.
Can I use update_catalog_item to change a price and mark it as unavailable? +
Yes. The update_catalog_item tool handles both price changes and toggling availability. Just pass the required store ID and item ID along with the new parameters.
What do I need to know before I use update_order_status? +
You need the specific order ID. This tool moves the order through the fulfillment pipeline (e.g., from PENDING to PREPARING). Always confirm the order details first using get_order_details.
Does get_logistics help me assign a driver? +
No, get_logistics retrieves the delivery information for an existing order. You must use the assign_driver tool to actually coordinate and assign the driver.
How do I use get_stores to find the IDs I need for other operations? +
It's the necessary first step. You run get_stores to pull a list of store IDs, names, and addresses. You'll need those IDs to correctly target operations like updating the catalog or fetching specific orders.
What is the correct process for updating store hours using update_business_hours? +
You must pass a JSON object containing the schedule for every day of the week. This object needs day keys (like 'monday') and an array of start/end time objects for those days.
If I change an order's status with update_order_status, how do I ensure the change is tracked? +
The system updates the order's status and records the change. You can then use get_orders or get_order_details afterward to verify the new status and confirm the change was applied.
When should I use get_catalog versus get_order_details? +
Use get_catalog when you're looking at the store's menu structure, pricing, or item availability. Use get_order_details when you need specific information about a single customer's order, including items and totals.
Does this work for iFood customers or only merchants? +
This MCP server is designed exclusively for iFood merchants (restaurant owners). It uses the Merchant API to manage orders, catalogs, and operations. Consumer-side features require a different API. If you're a restaurant owner using iFood for delivery, this is for you.
Can I accept and prepare orders automatically with this MCP? +
Yes! AI agents can update order status through the full workflow: PENDING -> ACCEPTED -> PREPARING -> READY -> DISPATCHED -> DELIVERED. You can build automation rules to accept orders instantly, notify kitchen staff, and track preparation times.
Does this support multiple restaurant locations? +
Absolutely. The API returns all stores associated with your merchant account. Each tool requires a store_id parameter, so you can manage operations independently across all your restaurant locations. AI agents can list all your stores first to get their IDs.
