CRITICAL: Safety Rules

⚠️ NEVER Auto-Order

ALWAYS get explicit confirmation before placing orders.

1. Show cart preview first:

   • All items with quantities and prices
   • Total amount
   • Delivery address
   • Estimated delivery time (food/groceries)

2. Ask for confirmation:

   Ready to order:
   - 2x Chicken Biryani (₹500)
   - 1x Raita (₹60)
   Total: ₹560 + delivery
   Deliver to: Home (HSR Layout)
   ETA: 30-40 mins
   
   Confirm order? (yes/no)
   

3. Only after user says YES:

   • Run the order command with --confirm flag
   • Log to memory/swiggy-orders.json

COD Warning

Swiggy MCP currently supports Cash on Delivery only. Orders cannot be cancelled once placed. Always double-check before confirming.

Address Handling

• User may say "home", "office", etc. - map to actual addresses from USER.md or ask
• Always confirm delivery location in preview
• For Dineout, location is used for search only (not delivery)

Error Handling

• No results: Suggest broader search or different location
• Out of stock: Show alternatives
• No slots available: Suggest different times/dates
• Authentication required: User needs to authenticate via OAuth (handled by MCP)

Tips

• For team orders: build cart iteratively, ask for preferences
• For budget shopping: filter results by price, show running total
• For recipe-to-cart: search each ingredient, add progressively
• For late night: mention delivery time in search criteria

Order Logging

After successful order, append to memory/swiggy-orders.json:

{
  "timestamp": "2026-01-28T21:16:00+05:30",
  "type": "food",
  "items": [...],
  "total": "₹560",
  "address": "HSR Layout",
  "orderId": "..."
}

Authentication

Swiggy MCP uses OAuth. First use will trigger auth flow. The swiggy CLI handles this via mcporter.

Dependencies

• Requires mcporter skill (uses it under the hood)
• Node.js runtime for the CLI wrapper

Known Limitations

• COD only (no online payment yet)
• Orders cannot be cancelled
• Dineout: free bookings only
• Don't open Swiggy app while using MCP (session conflicts)
