Discover restaurants on Tock (exploretock.com) via MCP — list cities, search a metro, and get a venue's details plus its bookable experiences, prices, party sizes, and open dates/times. Triggers on phrases like "search Tock for", "what's on Tock in Chicago", "find a Tock reservation at", "does Alinea have availability on Tock", "what experiences does <venue> offer on Tock", or "my Tock reservations". Requires tock-mcp installed and the fetchproxy browser extension running in a signed-in exploretock.com tab.

tock-mcp

MCP server for Tock (exploretock.com) — restaurant discovery and availability. Every request is relayed through the user's signed-in browser tab via the fetchproxy extension, so there's no cookie paste, no bot-wall dance, and no password handling.

• npm: npmjs.com/package/tock-mcp
• Source: github.com/chrischall/tock-mcp

Tock does not publish an official consumer API, and exploretock.com sits behind a Cloudflare challenge. This server fetches the same server-rendered pages the Tock web app uses (parsing their embedded window.$REDUX_STATE store) through your own signed-in browser tab. It is read-only: Tock reservations are prepaid tickets, so booking is left to exploretock.com. Use at your own discretion.

Setup

The MCP server is half of the picture — the other half is the fetchproxy browser extension that talks to Tock from your signed-in tab. Both are required.

1. Install the MCP server

Add to .mcp.json in your project or ~/.claude/mcp.json:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tock": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tock-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Or from source:

bash

git clone https://github.com/chrischall/tock-mcp
cd tock-mcp
npm install && npm run build
# then point .mcp.json at dist/bundle.js

2. Install the fetchproxy extension

tock-mcp shares a single browser extension with every other fetchproxy-based MCP. Install it once from github.com/chrischall/fetchproxy, then open exploretock.com and sign in (only needed for the account tools; discovery works signed-out).

3. Approve the one-time pair code

The first tool call prints a pair code to approve in the Transporter extension popup (trust-on-first-use, per identity). Run tock_healthcheck to trigger it, approve the code, and you're paired for good.

Tools

Tool	What it does
tock_list_metros	List Tock cities/metros (name, slug, business count). Filter by name/country.
tock_search_restaurants	List / search venues in a metro slug (cuisine, price, neighborhood, slug).
tock_get_restaurant	Venue details + its bookable experiences (prices, party sizes).
tock_get_availability	A venue's bookable calendar: experiences, prices, open dates/times.
tock_list_reservations	The signed-in user's purchases / reservations (needs a signed-in tab).
tock_get_profile	The signed-in user's profile (needs a signed-in tab).
tock_healthcheck	Round-trip the bridge; reports status + the pair code on first run.

Typical flow

1. tock_list_metros { query: "chicago" } → find the metro slug.
2. tock_search_restaurants { metro: "chicago", query: "tasting menu" } → get venue slugs.
3. tock_get_availability { slug: "alinea", date: "2026-07-10", party_size: 2 } → see experiences and open dates/times.
4. To book, open exploretock.com/<slug> — reservations are prepaid tickets and are completed on Tock.

Notes

• Read-only. No booking, cancelling, or payment — Tock reservations are prepaid/Turnstile-gated checkouts left to the site.
• Discovery needs no login. Only tock_list_reservations / tock_get_profile require a signed-in exploretock.com tab.
• Errors are actionable: a Cloudflare challenge asks you to clear it in the signed-in tab; a signed-out account tool asks you to sign in.
