Usage Examples

User: Find me something vegetarian at Burger King
Claude: [calls search_menu with query="vegetarian"] → Returns Impossible Whopper

User: Add an Impossible Whopper with no mayo and a large Coke to my cart
Claude: [calls add_to_cart for impossible-whopper] → Added
         [calls add_to_cart for coke-lg] → Added

User: Show my cart
Claude: [calls view_cart] → Shows items, subtotal $11.27, tax $0.90, total $12.17

User: Checkout for pickup at the downtown location
Claude: [calls find_locations] → Gets location IDs
         [calls checkout with order_type=pickup] → Returns order ID

Notes

• Bot Protection: bk.com uses Akamai/Cloudflare bot protection. The checkout and location tools gracefully fall back to demo/simulated responses when the site blocks automation.
• In-Memory Cart: Cart state is maintained in memory for the duration of the server process. Restarting the server clears the cart.
• Playwright Requirement: Playwright and Chromium must be installed for browser automation features. The server will still function with demo data if Playwright is unavailable.
• Real Orders: Due to bot protection and authentication requirements, actual order placement on bk.com requires signing into a BK account. The checkout tool provides an order reference ID for completing the order manually.
