VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyProductivity & WorkflowBrowser AutomationBusiness & Commerce

Overview

AI-generated overview

Target retail shopping connector that lets an assistant search products, manage a cart and track orders through browser automation.

What you can do
Search and browse Target products with category, price-range and sort filters, and fetch product details. Check in-store pickup availability at nearby stores by ZIP code. Log in, log out and check Target account authentication status and session info. Add items to the cart, view cart contents and totals, or clear the cart. Preview or place an order, list order history and track an order's delivery status.
When to use it
Use it when you want an assistant to search Target.com, compare prices, check nearby store pickup stock, or manage your cart and orders. Best for users who already have a Target account and accept browser-automation-based access.
Requirements
Runs locally as an npm package via npx or a global install, connected over stdio. Needs a Target account, with email and password supplied at login. Needs network access and bundles Playwright with Chromium.
Before you install
The login tool asks for your Target account email and password; credentials are not persisted, but session cookies and account metadata are stored under the user's home directory. Checkout with confirm set to true places a real order and spends money, so preview first. Adding or clearing cart items and logging out change account data. It uses stealth patches to evade bot detection, which may violate the site's terms, and first login may hit a CAPTCHA.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Target in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
