Using agentPickup

agentPickup lets your AI assistant order from a local business for you to collect in person. You ask for what you want, your assistant shows you the order, you pay by card on the business's own checkout, and the order turns into a pickup pass with a QR code. Show the QR at the counter, or say the pickup code, to collect.

Add it to your assistant

Claude

In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
Name it agentPickup and paste this address: https://agentpickup.app/mcp/cards
Press Add. There's no account and no sign-in.

ChatGPT, Grok and others

Open agentpickup.app/add on your phone or computer. It walks you through ChatGPT and Grok step by step, and gives the address to paste into any other assistant that takes connectors.

In Grok Bot, send this message: "Add a custom MCP server named agentPickup at https://agentpickup.app/mcp/cards". Tap Add it, then type @ in your chat and pick agentPickup.

Order

Ask in your own words. For example:

"Find a business near me on agentPickup that sells what I need."
"What does the Square Sandbox Café have?"
"Does it have anything gluten-free?"
"Order one of those for pickup at 5:30. My email is …"

Your assistant finds the business, reads its items and prices, and tells you the total. Ask about anything the listing doesn't say, such as ingredients, allergens, opening hours or parking: it answers from what the business has said, and tells you when it hasn't. Placing an order is a write action, so Claude asks you before it does it. The order needs your email: the business sends your pickup pass there too.

Orders are for as soon as possible unless you name a time. A time like "5:30" is the business's own local time, and it has to be when the business is open, within the next 7 days.

Pay

The order shows in the chat as a card with a Pay button. It opens the business's own secure checkout, where you pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. You enter your card yourself, on the checkout's form: your assistant never sees it and never pays for you. Nothing is charged until you pay, and the money goes straight to the business.

Collect

Once it's paid, the card in the chat becomes your pickup pass: a QR code and a six-character pickup code. It keeps itself up to date through four steps: Paid, Preparing, Ready and Collected. The QR turns green when your order is ready. The pass comes by email too, and a short email confirms when it's been collected. In a chat that doesn't show cards, your assistant gives you the pass link and code instead.

Each pass works once, like a ticket: whoever shows it can collect, so keep it to yourself.

Change your mind

Ask your assistant to cancel. Until the business starts on your order, it's cancelled and what you paid goes back the way you paid it (a card refund can take a few business days to show). Once the business has started it, or it's ready, ask staff at the counter.

If nobody collects it in time (the business sets how long an order waits, from its pickup time), it's refunded automatically.

Try it without paying

Two demo businesses run the whole flow with nothing real behind them:

Square Sandbox Café takes cards through Square's sandbox. Pay with Square's test card 4111 1111 1111 1111, any future expiry date and CVV 111. No money moves. Or ask for a test payment.
Demo Café takes a free test payment: ask your assistant to pay with a test payment.

There's nothing to collect at either.

Your information

We keep your order (your email, name if you give one, what you ordered and when) so the business can serve you and answer questions about it. Card details go to the business's payment provider, never to us. The privacy page has the details.
