Blinkit MCP is an open-source MCP server that enables Claude Desktop to browse, search, and order products on Blinkit in real-time via natural language commands. Instead of manually opening Blinkit and adding items to your cart, you can simply ask Claude: 'Buy milk on Blinkit and pay via UPI.' The system uses the MCP protocol to expose tools Claude can call, while the backend leverages Playwright to automate the Blinkit website. It handles secure login via phone and OTP, product search, cart management, delivery location selection, and UPI payment automation.
