Use the getorders tool within your agent definition. It pulls real-time order data directly from your iFood merchant account into your agent's context window.

Yes. You can trigger the updatecatalogitem tool based on your agent's internal logic. This allows for automated price adjustments across your stores.

Q: Does this iFood MCP Server support custom driver workflows?

It provides the assigndriver tool, which lets your agent handle dispatching. You can build custom logic around this to suit your specific delivery requirements.

Q: How is order status handled by the server?

The server maps your logic to the updateorderstatus tool. This ensures your agent can push status changes for order numbers, customer info, and timestamps securely.

Perplexity

Full Order Lifecycle Control

Your agent tracks the entire fulfillment chain from the moment an order hits the system. It uses `get_orders` to monitor status and `update_order_status` to push updates through every stage. Automating the transition from PENDING to DELIVERED removes manual overhead. Use `get_logistics` to keep tabs on delivery progress and address bottlenecks before they impact the customer.

Dynamic Catalog Management

Keep your menu accurate without manual entry. Your agent pulls current listings via `get_catalog` and identifies items that need price adjustments or availability toggles. Execute changes directly with `update_catalog_item`. This ensures that what the customer sees on the front end matches what the kitchen can actually fulfill.

Efficient Fleet Coordination

Directly manage your delivery logistics through your agent's interface. Use `assign_driver` to link specific personnel to pending orders, ensuring rapid dispatch once food is ready. This MCP Server provides the operational data needed to balance your fleet. By connecting `get_stores` with driver data, you maintain tight control over your local delivery network.

Setup guide

Set up iFood MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all iFood tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives iFood tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate iFood tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="iFood Agent",
            instructions="You have access to iFood tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
