resy-mcp

MCP server for Resy — natural-language restaurant reservation management. Uses Resy's private web-app API with email + password auth.

• npm: npmjs.com/package/resy-mcp
• Source: github.com/chrischall/resy-mcp

⚠️ Resy does not publish an official API. This server uses the same private endpoints the Resy web app calls, with the public web-app api_key and user-level auth via email + password. Use at your own discretion.

Setup

Option A — npx (recommended)

Add to .mcp.json in your project or ~/.claude/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "resy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "resy-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "RESY_EMAIL": "you@example.com",
        "RESY_PASSWORD": "yourpassword"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option B — from source

git clone https://github.com/chrischall/resy-mcp
cd resy-mcp
npm install && npm run build

Then add to .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "resy": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/resy-mcp/dist/bundle.js"],
      "env": {
        "RESY_EMAIL": "you@example.com",
        "RESY_PASSWORD": "yourpassword"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or place .env in the project directory with RESY_EMAIL= and RESY_PASSWORD=.

Authentication

• RESY_EMAIL + RESY_PASSWORD are required. The client logs in lazily on first request via POST /3/auth/password, caches the returned token for the process lifetime, and re-logs automatically on 401 / 419 / auth-like 500 responses.
• RESY_API_KEY is optional. If unset, the client uses the public web-app key baked into resy.com's JS bundle. Override only if Resy rotates it.

Tools

User

Tool	Description
resy_get_profile	Current user profile — name, email, phone, booking count, member-since. Payment method IDs are stripped.
resy_list_payment_methods	List saved payment methods (id, brand, last_four, exp_month, exp_year, is_default). The id feeds resy_book's payment_method_id.

Venues

Tool	Description
resy_search_venues(date, party_size, query?, lat?, lng?, limit?, radius_meters?)	Search venues with availability for a date + party size. Defaults to NYC geo.
resy_find_slots(venue_id, date, party_size, lat?, lng?)	List bookable slots at a venue — each includes a short-lived config_token.
resy_get_venue(venue_id)	Full venue details.

Reservations

Tool	Description
resy_book(venue_id, date, party_size, desired_time?, lat?, lng?, payment_method_id?)	Composite: find fresh slot → details → book. desired_time is "HH:MM" (24h); closest match wins if no exact slot. Uses default payment method unless payment_method_id is supplied.
resy_list_reservations(scope?)	List reservations. scope: upcoming (default), past, or all. Each result includes the resy_token needed for cancellation.
resy_cancel(resy_token)	Cancel by resy_token (rr://…). Inspects the response body to set cancelled: true/false honestly.

Favorites

Tool	Description
resy_list_favorites	List favorited venues ("hit list").
resy_add_favorite(venue_id)	Add a venue to favorites.
resy_remove_favorite(venue_id)	Remove from favorites.

Priority Notify

Tool	Description
resy_list_notify	List Priority Notify subscriptions.
resy_add_notify(venue_id, date, party_size, time_start?, time_end?)	Subscribe to notifications when slots open. time_start / time_end are HH:MM (24h); default window 18:00–21:00.
resy_remove_notify(notify_id)	Cancel a Priority Notify subscription.

Workflows

Book a specific restaurant at a specific time:

resy_search_venues(query: "carbone", date: "2026-05-01", party_size: 2)
  → find venue_id
resy_book(venue_id, date: "2026-05-01", party_size: 2, desired_time: "19:00")

See what's available tonight near me:

resy_search_venues(date: "2026-04-20", party_size: 2, lat: 37.7749, lng: -122.4194)
  → returns venues with baked-in slot availability

Cancel a reservation:

resy_list_reservations() → find resy_token for the one to cancel
resy_cancel(resy_token)

Stalking a hard-to-get table:

resy_search_venues(query: "4 charles prime rib", ...) → venue_id
resy_add_notify(venue_id, date: "2026-05-31", party_size: 2, time_start: "19:00", time_end: "21:00")
# Resy emails you when a slot opens

Notes

• Slot config_tokens expire within minutes of being fetched. resy_book re-fetches fresh slots internally — don't try to thread a stale token from resy_find_slots into a book call manually.
• resy_book requires a payment method on file at resy.com/account. If none exists it throws a clear error.
• Default geo is NYC (40.7128, -73.9876). Pass lat/lng for other cities.
• Favorites and Priority Notify endpoint paths are reverse-engineered. If a call fails with 404, run npm run smoke locally against your credentials and adjust the path.
• RESY_API_KEY env var overrides the baked-in public web-app key if Resy ever rotates it.
