swiggy-cart

Carts live on Swiggy's side, keyed to the account. Food and Instamart carts are separate. Everything here except clearing is safe to re-run; retrying the same add-to-cart does not double-add.

Rules

1. Read the cart at the start of every turn that touches it, and again before any checkout. The user may have edited it in the Swiggy app; prices and stock change between turns. Never trust what you remember.
2. Food: one restaurant per cart. Adding from a second restaurant flushes the first. Before doing that, tell the user what they will lose and get a yes.
3. Instamart: upstream update_cart replaces the whole cart. Use swiggy instamart add (it reads the cart and merges) for "add X"; use set-cart only when the user wants exactly that list. Sending only the new item through set-cart silently deletes the rest.
4. Use the ids the search gave you, verbatim. Food needs menu_item_id (from search-menu/menu); Instamart needs the variation's spinId (+ skuId). Names and productId are not accepted.
5. A coupon counts as applied only when the cart shows a positive discount. Swiggy auto-suggests coupons with coupon_discount: 0; do not tell the user they saved money unless the number is > 0.
6. Quantity changes on customised Food items need a decision. If the item has variants/addons, ask whether the extra unit gets the same add-ons before sending the update; do not silently replicate them.

Read

swiggy food cart --json --no-interactive           # data.data.items[], pricing.to_pay, offers, availablePaymentMethods
swiggy instamart cart --json --no-interactive      # data.items[], billBreakdown.toPay, unserviceableItems, paymentOptions

Add / change

# Food: plain item (ids from search-menu / menu)
swiggy food add --item-id <menu_item_id> --restaurant-id <rid> --qty 2 --json --no-interactive
# Food: item with a variant + addon (ids and group ids copied exactly from the menu response)
swiggy food add --restaurant-id <rid> --items '[{"menu_item_id":"<id>","quantity":1,"variants":[{"group_id":"<g>","variation_id":"<v>"}],"addons":[{"group_id":"<g>","id":"<a>"}]}]' --json --no-interactive

# Instamart: add ONE product — the CLI reads the cart and merges (safe default)
swiggy instamart add --spin-id <spinId> --sku-id <skuId> --qty 2 --json --no-interactive
# Instamart: set the FULL cart explicitly (raw replace semantics)
swiggy instamart set-cart --items '[{"spinId":"<s1>","skuId":"<k1>","quantity":2},{"spinId":"<s2>","skuId":"<k2>","quantity":1}]' --json --no-interactive

Row numbers (swiggy food add 3) refer to the last listing made in the same shell session; agents pass explicit ids — a number could point at a listing another process made.

After any change, read the cart again and tell the user the new total from pricing.to_pay (Food) or billBreakdown.toPay (Instamart). add-to-cart renders nothing on its own upstream.

Coupons

swiggy food list-coupons --restaurant-id <rid> --json --no-interactive
swiggy food apply-coupon <CODE> --json --no-interactive
swiggy instamart list-coupons --json --no-interactive
swiggy instamart apply-coupon <CODE> --json --no-interactive

Some coupons require online payment; on a cash order they will not apply. If the user wants that coupon, route them to swiggy-pay (UPI). Instamart list-coupons / apply-coupon (and order <id>) are rolled out per account; on NOT_FOUND (exit 4) tell the user the feature is not enabled for their account yet and continue without it.

Clear (destructive)

swiggy food clear-cart --yes --json --no-interactive
swiggy instamart clear-cart --yes --json --no-interactive

Add --yes only after the user asked to empty the cart in this conversation. Exit 7 without it is the CLI doing its job.

What can go wrong

• MCP_ERROR mentioning stock/serviceability → item unavailable at this address; offer alternatives from a new search.
• MCP_ERROR "minimum order" → Instamart needs ₹99; Food Builders-Club orders are capped at ₹1000.
• CART_EXPIRED / empty cart after a long pause → rebuild from the user's last confirmed list, then confirm with them.
