🧠 How It Works

The Zomato MCP Server exposes APIs that Claude (or any MCP-compatible client) can call during a conversation.

This allows real-time restaurant lookup, menu retrieval, cart management, and simulated ordering — directly through chat commands.

For OAuth authentication, Zomato currently whitelists:

• localhost
• chatgpt.com
