TableChat MCP Server

Connect Claude to TableChat to search restaurants and dishes, see a restaurant's standard reservation times, and get direct links to place an order or book a reservation — all through natural conversation.

Overview

TableChat's remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server gives Claude read access to restaurant, dish, and reservation-time data across TableChat's platform, plus the ability to generate direct links for placing an order or booking a table. Nothing is charged and no order is placed by the tool call itself — every order or reservation is completed by the diner on tablechat-ai.com after following the generated link.

TableChat is available nationwide, and search results include the restaurants currently active on TableChat. Ordering through TableChat adds no TableChat service fee and no menu markup. Delivery orders have a separate delivery fee, shown at checkout. Reservation times are the restaurant's standard reservation slots, not a live table count; the diner confirms the reservation on tablechat-ai.com.
