Claude is AI and can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.
Self-hosted only. OpenTable refuses requests from datacenter IP addresses, and AnythingMCP Cloud runs in a datacenter, so this connector is not available on AnythingMCP Cloud. It works on an AnythingMCP instance you run yourself on a computer or server with a regular home or office internet connection.
OpenTable
Search restaurants on OpenTable from any AI assistant. Find restaurants near a coordinate, read full restaurant detail (menu, hours, photos, reviews), check live table availability for a given party size and time window. 4 tools, no auth — reverse-engineered from the OpenTable mobile app.
Setup
This connector wraps the OpenTable mobile app's internal API (mobile-api.opentable.co.uk).
Setup: nothing. The endpoints exposed here are the same the OpenTable iOS app uses for restaurant discovery; they do not require an API key or user login.
What it does NOT do: complete reservations. OpenTable's reservation-completion flow requires a logged-in session + payment-method-on-file + bot-detection checks that we deliberately don't automate. Use this connector to find the right restaurant and slot; book in the OpenTable app or web site.
Geo coordinate: latitude and longitude as floats. Use 48.0707,7.8674 for Freiburg, 41.3851,2.1734 for Barcelona, 40.7128,-74.0060 for NYC.

Prerequisites: (none — public API)
Install the connector locally
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
- Open
http://localhost:3000and register. The first account becomes the admin. - Open the connector store (
http://localhost:3000/connectors/store), pick OpenTable, fill in the credentials it asks for (some connectors need none) and install it. - Under MCP Servers, create a server and assign the OpenTable connector to it. On the server's page, copy the MCP endpoint (
http://localhost:4000/mcp/<server-id>) and generate a key under API keys.
The quickstart listens on localhost only. For an instance that other people or cloud-based AI clients can reach, clone the repository and run ./setup.sh, which sets up a domain, HTTPS and OAuth (deployment guide).
