Lazada Community MCP
This server turns an AI assistant into a Lazada/RedMart shopping companion: it can search groceries, remember preferences, manage the cart, review and place orders with explicit approval, and handle sign-in.
Sign-in and session management: start/reuse Lazada login, capture the session, check who is logged in, and diagnose the connection.
Personalized shopping memory: retrieve usual groceries, remember product choices/quality/quantity, and forget preferences.
Product discovery: search RedMart/Lazada products with sorting/filtering, and inspect product price, stock, promotions, and labelled details.
Comparison and shortlisting: create saved shortlists, render visual comparison pickers, and add approved selections to the cart.
Cart management: view cart contents/totals, add products, set quantities, select/deselect items, and remove lines.
Checkout support: list delivery addresses and slots, select a delivery slot, review the exact basket/fees/total with a one-use token, and place an order only after explicit user approval.
Order history: list recent orders from the Lazada account.
Diagnostics: probe specific Lazada pages when selectors fail, useful for debugging.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Lazada Community MCP Compare oat milk with my usual purchases and show three choices."
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
1. Codex / ChatGPT
Ask your Codex assistant to install it for you:
Install Lazada community MCP with this, connect it to Codex, and tell me when to sign in:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/thebuilderscollective/lazada-community-mcp/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh -s -- codex
The assistant needs command execution on the computer where Codex runs. The current installer requires Node.js 22+, Chrome, and the Codex CLI there; ask the assistant to check these first. You don't need to type the command in Terminal yourself.
The installer downloads and verifies the release, then connects Lazada to Codex. Source setup also installs the shopping skill so grocery requests can discover the MCP before using a browser. The published 1.1.3 installer predates that addition.
Open a new task → “Connect Lazada” → sign in in the browser. Other local tasks reuse your login. Already installed through the Codex marketplace? Update that plugin instead of adding a second connection. ChatGPT Work in the cloud needs a hosted connection and is not yet verified. Setup details →

2. Claude
Claude Desktop on Mac — download, open, install:
Download the latest Desktop bundle →
Open the newly downloaded .mcpb file and click Install in Claude. Open a new chat and say
“Connect Lazada.” Sign in in the browser when prompted. No Terminal, separate Node.js installation,
or Claude Code required. Chrome is required.
If you have an assistant with command execution on the same Mac, you can instead ask it:
Install Lazada community MCP for Claude Desktop with this and open the installation dialog:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/thebuilderscollective/lazada-community-mcp/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh -s -- claude-desktop
If you already have a local lazada connection, follow the upgrade guide to avoid duplicates.
Claude Code — ask your assistant:
Install Lazada community MCP with this, connect it to Claude Code, and tell me when to sign in:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/thebuilderscollective/lazada-community-mcp/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh -s -- claude-code
Node.js 22+, Chrome, and the Claude CLI are required on that computer. Desktop and Code have separate registrations; both share the same login and memory on your Mac.
3. Grok — testing 🧪
Ask your Grok bot:
Install Lazada community MCP with this, then register it using host-browser settings and tell me when to sign in:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/thebuilderscollective/lazada-community-mcp/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh -s -- grok
When the bot says login is ready, open its desktop/browser and sign into Lazada/RedMart once. Enter passwords and verification codes directly in that browser.
Then ask:
What's in my RedMart cart?
Search RedMart for oat milk, show 3 options with images, don't change the cart.
The bot needs command execution and MCP registration access on its computer. This command installs the runtime and prints configuration; the bot must register it using the host's actual browser settings. Grok's session lives on Grok's computer, not in your Mac's Chrome. Image display depends on the client. Fresh-install and visual comparison verification are pending. Shared-computer guide →
One installer, four targets: codex · claude-code · claude-desktop · grok.
Swap the last word for the app you want to connect. Command-line targets need Node.js 22+ and Chrome
on the execution computer, on macOS or Linux; the Claude Desktop bundle is macOS-only and includes Node.js.
Grok also needs its host-browser integration. This is a community MIT preview, not official Lazada software.
Downloads are available from GitHub Releases.
Released under the MIT license: use, modify, and share it, including commercially, while retaining the license notice. The package is not published to npm. This is an independent community preview, not an official Lazada/RedMart integration.
The local runtime supports macOS and Linux; the Desktop bundle targets macOS. Windows is not supported yet.
Command-line setup needs Node.js 22+ and Chrome. Fresh clones can use node scripts/setup.mjs codex or
node scripts/setup.mjs claude; your agent handles dependencies and builds. All setup options →
Try it
After sign-in, these read-only checks work as starting prompts in any connected client:
What's in my RedMart cart?
Search RedMart for oat milk, show 3 options with images, don't change the cart.
For a comparison with your purchase history:
You: “Compare oat milk with my usual purchases. Show three choices and any multi-buy deal. Don't change my cart.”
Assistant: A comparison table followed by product-photo cards, with links to the exact Lazada listings, pack sizes, prices per pack, pack quantities, line totals, and purchase history. It asks about missing quantity or quality before adding anything.
Illustrative flow; live products and prices vary. Visual choices appear in clients supporting MCP Apps. Use Expand for a larger comparison and Collapse to return to chat; fullscreen depends on the client.
Ask for… | What you get |
Your usual groceries | Observed recent purchase frequency and saved preferences |
A better choice | Shortlists, pack sizes and prices, stock, and current offers |
Ingredients or nutrition | Lazada's labelled details when readable; an explicit gap when unavailable |
A basket review | Selected items, delivery, fees, total, and a fresh approval step |
Lazada stays the source for products and shopping. External ingredient research requires your approval. All 25 tools →
Where your login and preferences live
Local Codex and Claude use the same ~/.lazada-mcp directory by default—no manual path configuration is needed.
Local data | Location |
Saved browser login |
|
Account-specific product preferences and observed order history |
|
Saved comparison drafts |
|
Ask either assistant to remember a product using the Lazada integration, and the other can read that preference.
Notes saved only in Claude's or Codex's own chat memory are separate. Memory records are separated by a hash of the
Lazada account ID. File permissions are private to the local OS user; the data is not an encrypted vault.
Set LAZADA_DATA_DIR in each MCP configuration only if you want a different shared root; a separate
LAZADA_PROFILE_DIR changes the browser profile. Different computers, cloud VMs, or data roots do not automatically sync.
Browser operations are serialized across clients; coordinate cart edits since both assistants affect the same cart.
Quiet shopping, clear approval
Background by default. Local shopping runs headlessly. Human sign-in opens a visible window; completing sign-in returns to background mode. An explicitly configured visible mode or Grok's host browser stays visible.
You choose. Missing quantity and quality are clarified. Extra units for a deal need approval.
You approve the exact checkout. A fresh one-use review token and a default S$300 ceiling guard ordering. Tests never place orders.
Local session storage. Login profiles and shopping memory stay in a private directory. Your assistant receives the requested shopping results; private files are excluded from packages and public test reports.
Challenges may still require a human. Headless mode does not bypass site protection. After a service update, Claude Desktop may need a full quit/reopen. Troubleshooting →

Dated maintainer reports, not an uptime monitor or a guarantee for your account. A report older than seven days should be rechecked. Skipped tests are not passes.
Machine-readable snapshot · What is and isn't covered
Is it brittle? Website changes can interrupt shopping. Read checks do not prove cart writes, delivery choices,
or checkout work. The coverage matrix and run notes make those gaps explicit.
Run npm run smoke -- --live while shopping is idle to refresh the dated report; no schedule is enabled automatically.

TDQS
Scored across 25 tools
start_login and login are nearly identical ('start or reuse human sign-in'), creating a real selection conflict. add_to_cart and add_shortlist_to_cart are similar but their descriptions clarify scope, while most other tools map cleanly to distinct resources and actions.
Most tools follow a predictable snake_case verb_noun pattern such as search_products, get_cart, and place_order. Minor deviations like login, whoami, and session_status are still understandable in context, so the naming is broadly consistent.
At 25 tools the server is at the heavy end of the MCP surface, though the breadth is defensible for a full shopping lifecycle covering auth, discovery, cart, checkout, orders, and memory. Consolidating the duplicate login/start_login pair would tighten the set.
The server covers the main shopping journey end-to-end: sign-in, session capture, search, shortlist, cart editing, delivery selection, checkout review, order placement, and order history. Minor gaps such as explicit address selection and shortlist update/delete are workable but not fatal.
