Can an AI agent track a DoorDash order?

Short answer: only through the partner gate — DoorDash has a door for this, but it is not self-serve. The verified door-state for this exact task, the legal alternatives, and the demand registry are on this page.

Tracking PARTNER-GATED DoorDash MCP connector (order tracking) / Drive API delivery status (merchant) Source — about.doordash.com 2026-11-01

Tracking is included in the MCP connector's stated capabilities for beta companies; Drive API status endpoints serve the business that created the delivery, not a consumer agent.

Door-state version census-2026-11-01. The same document is served as JSON by the API: api.agentoutposts.com/outposts/doordash — and published in full on the DoorDash Outpost page.

Alternatives are computed exactly as the API computes them: same category as DoorDash (Platforms), census door open or partner-gated, DoorDash itself excluded. No paid placement — the order is the census order.

Register intent.

If you came to track a DoorDash order and the door was closed, say so here — and take the receipt with you.

GET https://api.agentoutposts.com/outposts/doordash POST https://api.agentoutposts.com/outposts/doordash/intent GET https://api.agentoutposts.com/outposts/doordash/notify/{token}

POST to the intent endpoint with "intent": "tracking" and, if you like, a detail describing the task. You receive: a receipt (a ticket id confirming the registration), your queue position for that intent at DoorDash, the current door-state document, and the alternatives above. If nothing fits, the answer is demand logged: your intent joins the aggregate count. The receipt also carries a notify token: poll the notify endpoint and you will learn when this door-state changes — a new API, a changed gate, a converted Outpost.

On MCP, the same registration is the register_intent tool on POST https://api.agentoutposts.com/mcp (arguments: brand = "doordash", intent = "tracking"); poll_notify polls your token, and get_outpost_door_state returns the door-state document above.

Demand at this wall.

The count, as of November 1, 2026 — a snapshot, dated on purpose.

Registered intents at DoorDash, as of November 1, 2026: 0. The registry is open and counting; no agent has registered at this Outpost yet. For this page's task (tracking): 0.

These are dated snapshot figures, published as of the date above. Live totals travel with the API: every intent receipt and every notify poll carries the brand's current demand snapshot.

How the count is made: callers are identified by a one-way SHA-256 hash — no raw IP addresses are stored — and registrations are capped at 100 per caller per day and 5,000 per day service-wide, behind an edge rate cap. Treat any count here as a demand signal, not proof of unique agents. Across the whole registry today, the ledger's only entry is Agent Outposts' own labeled internal test; no organic agent demand has been recorded yet.
