How to Find Swiggy MCP URL for ChatGPT: A Step-by-Step Guide (2026)

Introduction

The way we order food and groceries is changing. In January 2026, Swiggy launched a groundbreaking feature that allows users to order directly from ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and other AI-powered assistants. No more app-switching. No more endless scrolling through menus. Just conversation.

But to unlock this convenience, you need to connect Swiggy to your AI assistant using the correct Swiggy MCP URL. This comprehensive guide walks you through exactly how to find and use these URLs—whether you’re ordering food, shopping groceries, or booking a restaurant table.

Note: This guide is based on official announcements from Swiggy and verified through multiple industry sources as of January 27, 2026.

What is Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Why Does It Matter?

Before diving into the technical steps, it’s important to understand what you’re setting up.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source framework originally developed by Anthropic. Think of it as a secure bridge between AI language models and real-world services. Instead of an AI simply suggesting what you should order, MCP enables the AI to actually perform actions—searching, comparing, adding items to cart, applying coupons, and placing orders.

Why does this matter? According to Swiggy’s announcement, this represents a shift toward “agentic commerce,” where AI agents act as your personal shopping assistant. Instead of describing what you want and then manually executing the order yourself, the AI handles the entire workflow.

Key Benefits of Swiggy’s MCP Integration:

End-to-End Execution: The AI searches, compares options, applies best available offers, and completes the order in one conversation
Natural Language Interaction: Simply describe what you need (e.g., “Order ingredients for Thai green curry for 4 people”)
Multi-Platform Support: Works across Swiggy Food, Instamart (quick commerce), and Dineout (restaurant reservations)
Reduced Decision Fatigue: AI handles the research and comparison, not you

The Three Swiggy MCP URLs You Need to Know

Swiggy maintains separate MCP endpoints for each of its business verticals. Here are the official URLs as confirmed by Swiggy and verified through industry sources:

Service	MCP URL	What You Can Do
Swiggy Food	`https://mcp.swiggy.com/food`	Order food from restaurants, search by cuisine, apply coupons, track delivery
Instamart	`https://mcp.swiggy.com/instamart`	Browse 40,000+ grocery and quick-commerce products, build shopping carts
Swiggy Dineout	`https://mcp.swiggy.com/dineout`	Search restaurants, check availability, book tables with offers applied

Important Note: These are the official, verified URLs as of February 2026. Ensure you’re copying them exactly—even a small typo will prevent connection. Copy-paste directly from this guide to avoid errors.

Step-by-Step: How to Find and Connect Your Swiggy MCP URL

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

A Swiggy account with an active phone number (same as your Swiggy app registration)
Access to ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, or another AI assistant that supports MCP integration
The email or phone number associated with your Swiggy account
An internet connection

Step 1: Open Your AI Assistant Settings

The first step differs slightly depending on which AI tool you’re using, but the principle is the same.

For ChatGPT:

Visit chatgpt.com and log in
Click on your profile icon in the bottom-left corner
Select Settings from the dropdown menu
Look for “Connectors” or “Advanced Features” (this may appear under different names depending on your account type)

For Claude:

Go to claude.ai and log in
Click on the “Profile” icon (top-right)
Navigate to Settings
Find the “Connected Apps” or “Custom Connectors” section

For Google Gemini:

Open gemini.google.com
Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines)
Go to Settings
Look for “Integrations” or “Custom Connections”

Note: The exact location and naming of these settings may vary based on your account type (free vs. paid) and region. If you cannot find these sections, ensure you’re using the web version of the platform rather than a mobile app, as mobile apps may have limited connector functionality.

Step 2: Select “Add Custom Connector” or “Add Custom App”

Once you’ve navigated to the connectors section:

Look for a button labeled “Add Custom Connector,” “Add Custom App,” or “+ New Connection”
Click this button
You’ll be prompted to provide a name for this connector and the URL

Step 3: Name Your Connector

This step is straightforward but important for organization. Choose a clear, descriptive name that helps you remember what this connector does.

Recommended Names:

For food delivery: “Swiggy Food Delivery” or “Swiggy Food”
For quick commerce: “Swiggy Instamart” or “Instamart”
For restaurant reservations: “Swiggy Dineout” or “Dineout”

Using descriptive names prevents confusion if you add multiple Swiggy connectors (e.g., one for food and one for groceries).

Step 4: Paste the Correct Swiggy MCP URL

This is the critical step. Copy the appropriate URL from the table above and paste it into the URL field.

Which URL should you choose?

Choose https://mcp.swiggy.com/food if you primarily order from restaurants
Choose https://mcp.swiggy.com/instamart if you want to shop for groceries and quick-commerce items
Choose https://mcp.swiggy.com/dineout if you want to book restaurant tables

Pro Tip: You can add multiple connectors—one for each service. This allows you to use all three Swiggy features within a single AI assistant. Many users set up all three for maximum flexibility.

Important: Do not add any additional characters, spaces, or modifications to the URL. Copy it exactly as shown.

Step 5: Save the Connector

After entering the URL, click “Save,” “Connect,” or “Add Connector” (the button label depends on your platform)
The system will attempt to establish a connection to the Swiggy MCP server
If successful, you’ll see a confirmation message

Step 6: Authenticate with Your Swiggy Account

This is a crucial security step. After the initial connection:

The AI assistant will either prompt you directly or provide a link to authenticate
Click the authentication link or follow the on-screen instructions
You’ll be directed to Swiggy’s login page
Enter your phone number (the same one registered with your Swiggy account)
Enter the OTP (One-Time Password) sent to your registered phone number
Authorize the connection by granting the AI assistant access to your Swiggy account

Security Note: This is a secure OAuth-style authentication. Swiggy does not store your password, and the AI assistant only receives permission to access specific services (ordering, searching, tracking). You maintain full control over your account.

Step 7: Verify the Connection

Once authenticated, you should see a status indicator showing the connector is “Active” or “Connected.”

To verify everything is working:

Return to your AI assistant’s main chat interface
Try a simple test command, such as:
- For Food: “Show me restaurants near me”
- For Instamart: “What grocery items do you have?”
- For Dineout: “Find restaurants with availability tonight”

If the AI responds with actual Swiggy data (restaurant names, product listings, table availability), the connection is successful.

Detailed Use Cases: What You Can Do With Swiggy MCP URLs

Now that you’ve connected the MCP URL, here’s what becomes possible:

Food Delivery Examples

Once your Swiggy Food connector is active, you can use natural language commands:

Example 1: Order by Cuisine

“I want to order Indian food for lunch. Show me the highest-rated biryani restaurants nearby and apply the best available coupon.”
The AI will search Swiggy, compare restaurants, apply offers, and place your order.

Example 2: Recipe-Based Ordering

“I want to make dal makhani for 4 people. Order the ingredients from Instamart with the best prices.”
The AI searches across Swiggy Instamart’s 40,000+ products and adds items to your cart.

Example 3: Quick Reorders

“Order my usual Friday night pizza—garlic bread, Coke, and chocolate lava cake with the coupon code I used last time.”
The AI remembers your preferences and repeats the order.

Instamart (Grocery & Quick Commerce) Examples

Example 1: Weekly Grocery Restocking

“I need to restock my pantry. Order 5kg Aashirvaad Atta, a carton of Amul milk, and a pack of eggs.”

Example 2: Recipe Shopping

“I’m making Thai green curry. Get me coconut milk, green chilies, lemongrass, and shrimp from Instamart.”

Example 3: Discounted Shopping

“Find me the best deals on coffee and chocolates this week on Instamart and add them to my cart.”

Dineout (Restaurant Reservations) Examples

Example 1: Dinner Reservation

“Book me a table for two at 8 PM tonight at a quiet Italian restaurant nearby.”

Example 2: Special Occasions

“Find a highly-rated restaurant with private seating for 6 people on Saturday at 7:30 PM. Apply any available offer.”

Troubleshooting: Common Issues and Solutions

Issue 1: “Invalid URL” Error

Problem: You see an error message stating the URL is invalid or unreachable.

Solution:

Double-check that you’ve copied the URL exactly as shown in the table above
Ensure there are no extra spaces at the beginning or end
Verify your internet connection is stable
Try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page
Confirm you’re using the correct MCP URL for your desired service (food, instamart, or dineout)

Issue 2: Authentication Fails

Problem: The authentication step loops back or shows “Authorization Failed.”

Solution:

Ensure you’re using the phone number registered with your Swiggy account (not a different number)
Check that you’re entering the OTP correctly (usually valid for only 3-5 minutes)
If the OTP expires, request a new one
Ensure cookies and JavaScript are enabled in your browser
Try logging out of your Swiggy account in other tabs/devices and then retry
Clear browser cache if authentication continues to fail

Issue 3: Connection Works But Orders Don’t Process

Problem: The connector shows as active, but when you try to place an order, nothing happens.

Solution:

Ensure your Swiggy account has a valid payment method (currently COD only; see limitations below)
Confirm your delivery address is set in the Swiggy app
Try using more specific commands (e.g., “Order a Margherita pizza from Domino’s near my home”)
Check that you’re logged into your Swiggy account in the AI assistant
Some AI assistants may have rate limits—wait a few minutes before retrying

Issue 4: AI Assistant Doesn’t Recognize Connector

Problem: You’ve added the connector, but the AI doesn’t seem to use it.

Solution:

Refresh the AI assistant page completely (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R)
Log out and log back into the AI assistant
Some connectors require explicitly mentioning them (“Using Swiggy…”)
Check if your AI platform has specific documentation on using custom connectors
Ensure the connector is listed in your active connectors section

Important Limitations You Should Know

As of February 2026, Swiggy’s MCP integration has several constraints that users should be aware of:

Payment Restrictions

Current Limitation: Orders placed via AI assistants are restricted to Cash on Delivery (COD) only. Digital payment methods (credit/debit cards, UPI) are not yet supported through the MCP interface.

What This Means: If you prefer to pay digitally, you’ll need to open the Swiggy app or website. However, Swiggy’s CTO Madhusudhan Rao indicated the company is working on a “UPI Reserve Pay” system (similar to BigBasket’s pilot), which would allow secure digital payments in the future.

Workaround: Place your order via the AI assistant with COD, or use the traditional Swiggy app for digital payment orders.

Tracking and Real-Time Updates

Current Limitation: While you can ask the AI assistant “Where is my order?” for status updates, real-time map tracking is limited.

What This Means: For live delivery map tracking, real-time delivery person updates, and precise ETA, you should refer to the native Swiggy app.

Workaround: Use the AI assistant to place and search for orders, but switch to the Swiggy app for detailed tracking during active deliveries.

Feature Rollout

Current Limitation: MCP features may not be available to all users immediately. Swiggy is rolling this out in phases.

What This Means: Even if you set up the connector correctly, the feature might not be active in your region or account tier yet.

Workaround: If you cannot place orders despite setup, your account may be in a different rollout phase. Check back in a few days or contact Swiggy support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Do I need to pay extra to use Swiggy MCP with ChatGPT?

A: No. Using Swiggy MCP doesn’t cost extra. However, you may need a ChatGPT Plus subscription for certain features, while the basic connector works with free ChatGPT accounts. Swiggy orders are priced the same as app-based orders. There are no additional integration fees.

Q2: Is my payment information secure when using the MCP connector?

A: Yes. The authentication uses OAuth-based security, similar to how you log into apps using your Google account. Swiggy never receives your AI assistant’s access credentials, and your AI assistant never stores your payment information. Payment is processed directly through Swiggy’s secure systems.

Q3: Can I add multiple MCP connectors (food, instamart, dineout) to the same AI assistant?

A: Yes. You can add all three services as separate connectors. This gives you maximum flexibility to order food, shop groceries, or book restaurants from a single AI interface.

Q4: What happens if I have an issue with an order placed via MCP?

A: You can contact Swiggy customer support through the main app or website. Be clear that you placed the order through the MCP connector (via ChatGPT, Claude, etc.). Swiggy handles refunds, cancellations, and disputes the same way as regular app orders.

Q5: Are there any geographic restrictions on using Swiggy MCP?

A: Swiggy MCP is currently available in all regions where Swiggy operates (primarily India). However, the rollout may happen in phases. If you’ve set everything up correctly but can’t place orders, check if your city is in the current rollout.

Q6: Can I use Swiggy MCP on my phone app?

A: MCP integration is currently more reliable on web browsers. If you’re using ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini on your phone, the web versions (via browser) are recommended for MCP setup. Native mobile apps may have limited connector functionality as of February 2026.

Q7: What if I forget my Swiggy password or change my phone number?

A: Since MCP uses phone-number-based authentication (not passwords), changing your phone number in Swiggy will require you to re-authenticate the MCP connector with your new phone number. You don’t need to know your password.

Conclusion

Finding and using your Swiggy MCP URL is the gateway to a fundamentally different ordering experience. Instead of juggling apps and making decisions through endless menus, you can now have a conversation with AI and let it handle the entire order lifecycle.

The setup is straightforward—just four components: your AI assistant settings, the correct MCP URL, a connector name, and phone-based authentication. Once connected, you’ll unlock the ability to order food, shop groceries, and book restaurant tables using natural language.

While the current limitations (COD payments and limited tracking) are worth noting, Swiggy’s roadmap suggests these will evolve quickly. For now, this integration represents a meaningful step toward conversational commerce—a future where ordering feels less like navigation and more like conversation.

Ready to get started? Head to your AI assistant’s settings, choose your service (Food, Instamart, or Dineout), and paste the appropriate MCP URL from the table above. You’ll be ordering via ChatGPT within minutes.
