Resy MCP Server

Official Resy connector for Claude. Discover U.S. restaurants, check real-time table availability, and start reservation flows from chat.

Travel by Resy (American Express) OAuth2 active
Overview

Resy is an American Express owned restaurant reservation platform. The official Resy connector, launched April 23, 2026, brings live Resy availability data into Claude using the Model Context Protocol. When users ask Claude where to eat, Claude can surface recommendations from Resy's U.S. inventory, show real bookable timeslots, and hand off to the Resy app or Resy.com to complete the booking.

The connector is provider-hosted by Resy and listed in Claude's Connectors Directory. There is no self-hosted server to run and no GitHub repo to clone. Users add it in Claude's settings under Connectors. Authentication to Resy is not required to browse availability, only when a user actually books a table or sets a Notify alert, at which point the standard Resy sign-in is invoked.

Coverage is currently limited to U.S. Resy restaurants. Capabilities documented by Resy and Anthropic include browsing restaurants and collections, viewing real time table availability, setting Notify alerts for sold-out times, and beginning the booking flow which is finalized on Resy.com or the Resy mobile app.

Setup Guide

The Resy connector is provider-hosted by Resy and distributed through Claude's Connectors Directory. There is no command to install and no JSON config to edit.

Requirements

  • A Claude account (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, or Claude mobile)
  • A Resy account is only needed when you book a table or set a Notify alert

Enable the connector

  • Open Claude and go to Settings > Connectors (or Customize > Connectors)
  • Search for Resy
  • Click Connect
  • You do not need to sign into Resy during setup; sign-in happens later when you book

Directory listing

  • https://claude.ai/directory/connectors/resy

Coverage

  • U.S. restaurants only at launch (April 23, 2026)

Notes

  • Final reservation confirmation happens on Resy.com or the Resy mobile app, not inside Claude
  • For Claude API or third-party MCP clients, this connector is accessed via Claude's hosted connectors infrastructure rather than a public MCP server URL you can wire into other tools
Use Cases
  • Plan a dinner from chat: ask Claude for romantic spots in the West Village next Friday at 8pm for two and get live, bookable Resy times
  • Combine itinerary research and reservations in one thread, then hand off to Resy.com to confirm the actual booking
  • Track hard-to-get tables by having Claude set a Resy Notify alert when a sold-out time opens up
  • Compare a shortlist of restaurants by cuisine, neighborhood, and current availability before committing to one
  • Explore curated Resy collections (e.g. "new openings", "outdoor dining") from inside a Claude conversation
Example Prompts
  • "Find me a Resy reservation for 4 people this Saturday at 7:30pm in Brooklyn, Italian or Mediterranean."
  • "What are the top Resy restaurants in San Francisco for a birthday dinner next month?"
  • "Check if Carbone has any tables for two on Thursday between 6 and 9pm."
  • "Set a Resy Notify alert for Tatiana the next 3 Fridays at 8pm, party of 2."
  • "Show me Resy's newest restaurant collections in Los Angeles."
Pros
  • Official integration from Resy and American Express, using live Resy availability instead of stale or scraped data
  • Zero setup: enable from Claude's Connectors Directory, no server to run or config to edit
  • No Resy sign-in required just to browse or check availability; auth only kicks in at booking
  • Works across Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Claude mobile via Anthropic's hosted connector infrastructure
Limitations
  • U.S. restaurants only at launch; international Resy inventory is not yet covered
  • Booking is not fully completed inside Claude; users are redirected to Resy.com or the Resy app to confirm
  • Resy does not publish a developer-facing MCP server URL or tool schema, so the connector cannot be wired into arbitrary third-party MCP clients today
Alternatives
  • OpenTable: no official MCP server as of May 2026; community projects such as jrklein343-svg/restaurant-mcp wrap both Resy and OpenTable but are unofficial
  • Community Resy MCP servers like Jpc54066/resy-mcp that wrap Resy's public web APIs, useful if you need a self-hosted option but unsupported by Resy
  • Booking.com or other travel MCP servers for broader hotel and restaurant booking scenarios
