+ # 🛒 Kroger MCP Server 🛍️ -- FastMCP for Kroger Shopping
57
+
58
+ A [FastMCP](https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp) server that provides AI assistants like Claude with seamless access to Kroger's grocery shopping functionality through the Model Context Protocol ([MCP](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/mcp)). This server enables AI assistants to find stores, search products, manage shopping carts, and access Kroger's comprehensive grocery data via the [kroger-api](https://github.com/CupOfOwls/kroger-api) python library.
59
+
60
+ ## 📺 Demo
61
+
62
+ Using Claude with this MCP server to search for stores, find products, and add items to your cart:
63
+
64
+ ![Kroger MCP Demo](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/your-demo-image-here)
65
+
66
+ ## 🚀 Quick Start
67
+
68
+ ### Prerequisites
69
+ You will need Kroger API credentials (free from [Kroger Developer Portal](https://developer.kroger.com/)).
70
+ Visit the [Kroger Developer Portal](https://developer.kroger.com/manage/apps/register) to:
71
+ 1. Create a developer account
72
+ 2. Register your application
73
+ 3. Get your `CLIENT_ID`, `CLIENT_SECRET`, and set your `REDIRECT_URI`
74
+
75
+ The first time you run a tool requiring user authentication, you'll be prompted to authorize your app through your web browser. You're granting permission to **your own registered app**, not to any third party.
76
+
77
+ ### Installation
78
+
79
+ #### Option 1: Using uvx with Claude Desktop (Recommended)
80
+ Once published to PyPI, you can use uvx to run the package directly without cloning the repository:
81
+
82
+ Edit Claude Desktop's configuration file:
83
+
84
+ **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
85
+
86
+ **Linux**: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
87
+
88
+ **Windows**: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
89
+
90
+ ```json
91
+ {
92
+ "mcpServers": {
93
+ "kroger": {
94
+ "command": "uvx",
95
+ "args": [
96
+ "kroger-mcp"
97
+ ],
98
+ "env": {
99
+ "KROGER_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
100
+ "KROGER_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
101
+ "KROGER_REDIRECT_URI": "http://localhost:8000/callback",
102
+ "KROGER_USER_ZIP_CODE": "10001"
103
+ }
104
+ }
105
+ }
106
+ }
107
+ ```
108
+
109
+ Benefits of this method:
110
+ - Automatically installs the package from PyPI if needed
111
+ - Creates an isolated environment for running the server
112
+ - Makes it easy to stay updated with the latest version
113
+ - Doesn't require maintaining a local repository clone
114
+
115
+ #### Option 2: Using uv with a Local Clone
116
+ First, clone locally:
117
+ ```bash
118
+ git clone https://github.com/CupOfOwls/kroger-mcp
119
+ ```
120
+
121
+ Then, edit Claude Desktop's configuration file:
122
+
123
+ ```json
124
+ {
125
+ "mcpServers": {
126
+ "kroger": {
127
+ "command": "uv",
128
+ "args": [
129
+ "--directory",
130
+ "/path/to/cloned/kroger-mcp",
131
+ "run",
132
+ "kroger-mcp"
133
+ ],
134
+ "env": {
135
+ "KROGER_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
136
+ "KROGER_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
137
+ "KROGER_REDIRECT_URI": "http://localhost:8000/callback",
138
+ "KROGER_USER_ZIP_CODE": "10001"
139
+ }
140
+ }
141
+ }
142
+ }
143
+ ```
144
+
145
+ #### Option 3: Installing From PyPI
146
+
147
+ ```bash
148
+ # Install with uv (recommended)
149
+ uv pip install kroger-mcp
150
+
151
+ # Or install with pip
152
+ pip install kroger-mcp
153
+ ```
154
+
155
+ #### Option 4: Installing From Source
156
+
157
+ ```bash
158
+ # Clone the repository
159
+ git clone https://github.com/CupOfOwls/kroger-mcp
160
+ cd kroger-mcp
161
+
162
+ # Install with uv (recommended)
163
+ uv sync
164
+
165
+ # Or install with pip
166
+ pip install -e .
167
+ ```
168
+
169
+ ### Configuration
170
+
171
+ Create a `.env` file in your project root or pass in env values via the JSON config:
172
+
173
+ ```bash
174
+ # Required: Your Kroger API credentials
175
+ KROGER_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here
176
+ KROGER_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret_here
177
+ KROGER_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8000/callback
178
+
179
+ # Optional: Default zip code for location searches
180
+ KROGER_USER_ZIP_CODE=90274
181
+ ```
182
+
183
+ ### Running the Server
184
+
185
+ ```bash
186
+ # With uv (recommended)
187
+ uv run kroger-mcp
188
+
189
+ # With uvx (directly from PyPI without installation)
190
+ uvx kroger-mcp
191
+
192
+ # Or with Python directly
193
+ python server.py
194
+
195
+ # With FastMCP CLI for development
196
+ fastmcp dev server.py --with-editable .
197
+ ```

267
+ ### 🧰 Local-Only Cart Tracking
268
+
269
+ Since the Kroger API doesn't provide cart viewing functionality, this server maintains local tracking:
270
+
271
+ #### Local Cart Storage
272
+ - **File**: `kroger_cart.json`
273
+ - **Contents**: Current cart items with timestamps
274
+ - **Automatic**: Created and updated automatically
275
+
276
+ #### Order History
277
+ - **File**: `kroger_order_history.json`
278
+ - **Contents**: Historical orders with placement timestamps
279
+ - **Usage**: Move completed carts to history with `mark_order_placed`
280
+
281
+ ### 🚧 Kroger Public API Limitations
282
+ - **View Only**: The `remove_from_cart` and `clear_current_cart` tools ONLY affect local tracking, not the actual Kroger cart
283
+ - **Local Sync**: Use these tools only when the user has already removed items from their cart in the Kroger app/website
284
+ - **One-Way**: Items can be added to the Kroger cart but not removed through the Public API. The Partner API would allow these things, but that requires entering a contract with Kroger.
285
+
286
+ | API | Version | Rate Limit | Notes |
287
+ |-----|---------|------------|-------|
288
+ | **Authorization** | 1.0.13 | No specific limit | Token management |
289
+ | **Products** | 1.2.4 | 10,000 calls/day | Search and product details |
290
+ | **Locations** | 1.2.2 | 1,600 calls/day per endpoint | Store locations and details |
291
+ | **Cart** | 1.2.3 | 5,000 calls/day | Add/manage cart items |
292
+ | **Identity** | 1.2.3 | 5,000 calls/day | User profile information |
293
+
294
+ **Note:** Rate limits are enforced per endpoint, not per operation. You can distribute calls across operations using the same endpoint as needed.
295
+
296
+ ## 🏫 Basic Workflow
297
+
298
+ 1. **Set up a preferred location**:
299
+ ```
300
+ User: "Find Kroger stores near 90274"
301
+ Assistant: [Uses search_locations tool]
302
+ User: "Set the first one as my preferred location"
303
+ Assistant: [Uses set_preferred_location tool]
304
+ ```
305
+
306
+ 2. **Search and add products**:
307
+ ```
308
+ User: "Add milk to my cart"
309
+ Assistant: [Uses search_products, then add_items_to_cart]
310
+
311
+ User: "Add bread, eggs, and cheese to my cart"
312
+ Assistant: [Uses search_products for each, then bulk_add_to_cart]
313
+ ```
314
+
315
+ 3. **Manage cart and orders**:
316
+ ```
317
+ User: "What's in my cart?"
318
+ Assistant: [Uses view_current_cart tool to see local memory]
319
+
320
+ User: "I placed the order on the Kroger website"
321
+ Assistant: [Uses mark_order_placed tool, moving current cart to the order history]
322
+ ```

10
+
11
+ ## 🚀 Quick Start
12
+
13
+ ### Prerequisites
14
+ You will need Kroger API credentials (free from [Kroger Developer Portal](https://developer.kroger.com/)).
15
+ Visit the [Kroger Developer Portal](https://developer.kroger.com/manage/apps/register) to:
16
+ 1. Create a developer account
17
+ 2. Register your application
18
+ 3. Get your `CLIENT_ID`, `CLIENT_SECRET`, and set your `REDIRECT_URI`
19
+
20
+ The first time you run a tool requiring user authentication, you'll be prompted to authorize your app through your web browser. You're granting permission to **your own registered app**, not to any third party.
21
+
22
+ ### Installation
23
+
24
+ #### Option 1: Using uvx with Claude Desktop (Recommended)
25
+ Once published to PyPI, you can use uvx to run the package directly without cloning the repository:
26
+
27
+ Edit Claude Desktop's configuration file:
28
+
29
+ **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
30
+
31
+ **Linux**: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
32
+
33
+ **Windows**: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
34
+
35
+ ```json
36
+ {
37
+ "mcpServers": {
38
+ "kroger": {
39
+ "command": "uvx",
40
+ "args": [
41
+ "kroger-mcp"
42
+ ],
43
+ "env": {
44
+ "KROGER_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
45
+ "KROGER_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
46
+ "KROGER_REDIRECT_URI": "http://localhost:8000/callback",
47
+ "KROGER_USER_ZIP_CODE": "10001"
48
+ }
49
+ }
50

212
+ ### 🧰 Local-Only Cart Tracking
213
+
214
+ Since the Kroger API doesn't provide cart viewing functionality, this server maintains local tracking:
215
+
216
+ #### Local Cart Storage
217
+ - **File**: `kroger_cart.json`
218
+ - **Contents**: Current cart items with timestamps
219
+ - **Automatic**: Created and updated automatically
220
+
221
+ #### Order History
222
+ - **File**: `kroger_order_history.json`
223
+ - **Contents**: Historical orders with placement timestamps
224
+ - **Usage**: Move completed carts to history with `mark_order_placed`
225
+
226
+ ### 🚧 Kroger Public API Limitations
227
+ - **View Only**: The `remove_from_cart` and `clear_current_cart` tools ONLY affect local tracking, not the actual Kroger cart
228
+ - **Local Sync**: Use these tools only when the user has already removed items from their cart in the Kroger app/website
229
+ - **One-Way**: Items can be added to the Kroger cart but not removed through the Public API. The Partner API would allow these things, but that requires entering a contract with Kroger.

+
231
+ | API | Version | Rate Limit | Notes |
232
+ |-----|---------|------------|-------|
233
+ | **Authorization** | 1.0.13 | No specific limit | Token management |
234
+ | **Products** | 1.2.4 | 10,000 calls/day | Search and product details |
235
+ | **Locations** | 1.2.2 | 1,600 calls/day per endpoint | Store locations and details |
236
+ | **Cart** | 1.2.3 | 5,000 calls/day | Add/manage cart items |
237
+ | **Identity** | 1.2.3 | 5,000 calls/day | User profile information |
238
+
239
+ **Note:** Rate limits are enforced per endpoint, not per operation. You can distribute calls across operations using the same endpoint as needed.
240
+
241
+ ## 🏫 Basic Workflow
242
+
243
+ 1. **Set up a preferred location**:
244
+ ```
245
+ User: "Find Kroger stores near 90274"
246
+ Assistant: [Uses search_locations tool]
247
+ User: "Set the first one as my preferred location"
248
+ Assistant: [Uses set_preferred_location tool]
249
+ ```
250
+
251
+ 2. **Search and add products**:
252
+ ```
253
+ User: "Add milk to my cart"
254
+ Assistant: [Uses search_products, then add_items_to_cart]
255
+
256
+ User: "Add bread, eggs, and cheese to my cart"
257
+ Assistant: [Uses search_products for each, then bulk_add_to_cart]
258
+ ```
259
+
260
+ 3. **Manage cart and orders**:
261
+ ```
262
+ User: "What's in my cart?"
263
+ Assistant: [Uses view_current_cart tool to see local memory]
264
+
265
+ User: "I placed the order on the Kroger website"
266
+ Assistant: [Uses mark_order_placed tool, moving current cart to the order history]
267
+ ```
