Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

iFood works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put iFood to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Who it's for

Built for the work iFood owners hand off.

This MCP is built for food service professionals managing high-volume delivery operations on iFood.

  • 01

    Restaurant Owners

    They hand off menu updates and schedule changes to the agent.

  • 02

    Delivery Managers

    They use the agent to track order status and assign drivers.

  • 03

    Ghost Kitchen Operators

    They use the agent to manage multiple locations from a single interface.

FAQ

Questions iFood owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my iFood account?

    You need to provide a JWT token from the iFood Developer Portal. Vinkius hosts the MCP, so you just connect the token and you are ready to go.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 03

    Can I manage multiple restaurant locations?

    Yes. You can use the get_stores capability to see all locations and manage them individually through your agent.

  • 04

    Can the AI update my menu prices?

    Yes. You can tell your agent to update the price of a specific item using the update_catalog_item capability.

  • 05

    Does this replace the iFood merchant app?

    It acts as a powerful alternative for common tasks like order management and menu updates, allowing you to work through your AI agent instead of manual app navigation.

  • 06

    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.

  • 07

    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.

  • 08

    Does this support multiple restaurant locations?

    Absolutely. The API returns all stores associated with your merchant account. Each capability 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.
