Installation

Claude Code Plugin (Recommended)

claude plugin marketplace add aserper/grubhub-mcp
claude plugin install grubhub-mcp@grubhub-marketplace

uvx (No Installation Required)

Add to your Claude Code MCP settings (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grubhub": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "grubhub-mcp", "grubhub"]
    }
  }
}

Manual / From Source

Requires Python 3.11+.

git clone https://github.com/aserper/grubhub-mcp.git
cd grubhub-mcp
uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -e .

Then add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grubhub": {
      "command": "/path/to/grubhub-mcp/.venv/bin/grubhub"
    }
  }
}

Usage with Other MCP Clients

Run the server over stdio:

# With uvx (no install needed)
uvx --from grubhub-mcp grubhub

# Or from a local install
grubhub

# Or as a Python module
python -m grubhub_mcp

Authentication

No login required for browsing — search restaurants, view menus, and check prices without an account. The server automatically creates an anonymous session.

Login required for ordering, account management, and order history:

Use the login tool with my email and password

Supports email/password login and OTP (one-time passcode) authentication.

How It Works

The API endpoints were reverse-engineered from the Grubhub Android app (v2026.11.1) by decompiling the APK with jadx and analyzing the Retrofit service interfaces, OkHttp interceptors, and data models.

Key technical details:

Base API: https://api-gtm.grubhub.com
Auth: Bearer token via email/password or anonymous sessions
Transport: REST/JSON for most endpoints, Protobuf for some BFF services
Headers: Mimics the Android app's request headers including x-gh-browser-id
