Peckish — AI ordering agent for DoorDash

Four ways to run it

Everything runs on your own machine — a Mac with Apple Silicon or Linux x86_64. Pick the surface that fits you.

Inside Claude no API key

Claude Desktop or Claude Code becomes the ordering agent. Your Claude subscription powers the model.

claude mcp add peckish -- npx -y peckish-mcp

Claude Desktop extension

One double-click. No terminal, no Node.js, no JSON config to edit.

Download the .mcpb ↗

Terminal & web app

A chat REPL and a local web UI with store cards, a live quote and a Stop button. Needs an Anthropic API key.

npm install -g peckish

Mac app

A double-clickable app with guided setup, for people who never open a terminal.

You approve every order

The gate is rendered by the app, not decided by the model.

An explicit approval, every time. Type yes in the terminal, click Place order in the web modal, or approve the dialog in Claude Desktop. Decline and it backs off.
Clients that can't ask, can't order. An MCP client without elicitation support can browse and build carts but is blocked from placing orders — it fails closed.
Nothing hidden before the ask. It must show you the itemized quote, confirm the Dasher tip, and name the card being charged.
No silent retries. Order submission isn't idempotent, so it never auto-retries; success is only reported after DoorDash confirms.
Merchant text is data, not instructions. Widget and assistant-instruction fields are stripped so store content can't steer the model.
A full audit log. Every tool call, argument, duration and confirmation lands in ~/.peckish/logs/.

What it actually does

Comparison shopping	Builds carts at up to three finalists, compares true totals, fee share and ETA, recommends one, then deletes the losers.
Fee tactics	Scans promos with your consent, compares pickup against delivery, surfaces DoorDash credits and DashPass status.
Memory	"Never mushrooms, ever" sticks — dietary rules and habits persist across sessions and surfaces.
History	Derives "my usual" from order frequency, gives honest spend breakdowns from receipts, and flags items silently dropped from a reorder.
Beyond restaurants	Groceries, retail, pets, pharmacy and alcohol; scheduled delivery, pickup, and work benefits with company budgets and expense codes.

Before you install

You need three things:

1. A Mac with Apple Silicon, or Linux x86_64. Peckish is local-first — your own machine is the backend on every surface, because that's where dd-cli holds your DoorDash sign-in. There's no hosted version, and that's deliberate. On Linux (dd-cli 0.2.2+), including containers and cloud sandboxes with no browser, you sign in once with dd-cli export-token elsewhere and pass the token in as DD_CLI_ACCESS_TOKEN.

2. DoorDash CLI access. Peckish is built on DoorDash's official dd-cli, which is currently waitlist-gated by DoorDash. Without access, Peckish can't order for you yet.

3. An Anthropic API key — for the terminal and web surfaces only. Use the MCP surface instead and your Claude subscription covers it.
