Here's the quick way that actually works. Forget Claude Desktop and VSCode - they have OAuth whitelist issues. Use ChatGPT Developer Mode instead. 1. Enable Developer Mode ChatGPT's OAuth redirect URI (https://chatgpt.com/connector_platform_oauth_redirect) is whitelisted by Zomato. Other clients like Claude Desktop and VSCode Desktop aren't - yet. If you try setting this up with Claude Desktop or VSCode, you might hit: Solution: Use Homebrew Node v24: If you see Connection error: ServerError at registerClient, your client isn't whitelisted. Stick with ChatGPT. If Zomato whitelists other clients later, here's the config: Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json): That's it. No Node.js debugging, no OAuth headaches. Templates let you quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for re-use. Are you sure you want to hide this comment?
