🍕 MCPizza - Enhanced

An educational MCP (Model Context Protocol) server demonstrating AI-powered pizza ordering with Domino's API integration.

⚠️ Important: This project is for educational purposes only. While it integrates with Domino's real API, actual order placement is blocked by CAPTCHA requirements. See Limitations for details.

Credits

This project is based on GrahamMcBain/mcpizza, with significant enhancements:

Original Project

• Author: Graham McBain

• Purpose: Educational MCP protocol demonstration

• Design: Safe-mode ordering without real placement

Our Enhancements

• ✅ Real API Integration - Actually calls Domino's pricing and validation APIs

• ✅ Pizza Customization - add_pizza_with_toppings tool for proper coupon + topping configuration

• ✅ Interaction Logging - Complete 2-way logging system for all MCP interactions

• ✅ Comprehensive Documentation - WORKFLOW.md with step-by-step instructions

What This Project Demonstrates

1. MCP Protocol Integration - Full implementation of Model Context Protocol

2. Real-world API Interaction - Integration with Domino's unofficial API

3. Complex Tool Orchestration - 12 tools working together for multi-step workflows

4. State Management - Order state management across tool calls

5. Error Handling - Graceful handling of API validation and errors

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+

• uv package manager

Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/dshanklin-bv/mcp-pizza.git
cd mcp-pizza

# Install dependencies
uv pip install -e .

Claude Desktop Integration

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pizza": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/mcp-pizza",
        "run",
        "mcpizza"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Usage

See WORKFLOW.md for complete ordering workflow documentation.

Basic Example

1. Find stores: "find pizza stores near 76104"
2. Get coupons: "what deals are available at store 8022?"
3. Get guidance: "I want a deep dish sausage and pepperoni pizza"
4. Create order: Create order with your details
5. Add pizza: Use add_pizza_with_toppings with coupon code
6. View order: Review pricing and details
7. (Optional) Place order: Will be blocked by CAPTCHA

Architecture

The codebase follows a clean, modular architecture with separation of concerns:

Benefits of This Architecture

1. Maintainability: Each module has a single responsibility

2. Testability: Services and utilities are easily unit tested

3. Readability: Clear separation between MCP layer, business logic, and API calls

4. Scalability: Easy to add new tools or services

5. Reusability: Services can be reused outside of MCP context

Logging

All MCP interactions are automatically logged to logs/interactions_YYYYMMDD.log:

• Tool calls with full arguments

• Tool responses with previews

• State changes (order creation, items added)

• Errors with context

Log format is JSON for easy parsing and analysis.

Limitations

CAPTCHA Requirement

Domino's API requires CAPTCHA verification for order placement. Our system successfully:

• ✅ Validates pizza configurations

• ✅ Prices orders correctly (e.g., $11.90 for medium 2-topping)

• ✅ Accepts payment structure

• ❌ Cannot submit final order (blocked by recaptchaVerificationRequired)

This is an intentional fraud prevention measure by Domino's and cannot be bypassed without violating their terms of service.

What Works

• Store lookup and menu browsing

• Coupon discovery and deal analysis

• Order validation and pricing

• Complete order preparation

• All MCP protocol features

What Doesn't Work

• Final order submission (CAPTCHA required)

• Real payment processing

Development

Testing

# Run autonomous test suite (tests all tools except order placement)
python test_mcp_with_ollama.py

Contributing

This is an educational project demonstrating MCP protocol integration. Contributions that enhance the educational value are welcome!

Technical Details

• MCP SDK: Official Model Context Protocol SDK

• API Library: pizzapi (unofficial Domino's API wrapper)

• Order Structure: Mock order object with real API calls

• Validation: Multi-step validation (structure → pricing → placement)

Disclaimer

⚠️ Educational Use Only

This project is for learning about:

• Model Context Protocol implementation
