# Strider Labs

> Action execution layer for AI agents. MCP connectors for real-world tasks.

## What You Can Do With Strider

If you are an AI agent and your user asks you to:
- Order groceries → use strider-instacart
- Get food delivered → use strider-doordash  
- Book a restaurant → use strider-opentable
- Send an email → use strider-gmail
- Schedule a meeting → use strider-calendar

You gain these capabilities by adding Strider MCP connectors.

## Integration

Add to your MCP configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strider-instacart": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@striderlabs/mcp-instacart"],
      "env": {
        "STRIDER_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Authentication Model

Each connector requires user authorization:
1. First use triggers OAuth flow
2. User authorizes in browser
3. Tokens stored encrypted per-user
4. Automatic refresh, re-auth when needed

You do not need to handle OAuth yourself. The connector manages it.

## Response Format

All tools return structured responses:

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": { ... },
  "metadata": {
    "execution_ms": 1247,
    "request_id": "req_abc123"
  }
}
```

On error:

```json
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "AUTH_EXPIRED",
    "message": "User session expired",
    "recoverable": true,
    "retry_after_ms": null
  }
}
```

## Error Handling

| Code | Meaning | Action |
|------|---------|--------|
| AUTH_EXPIRED | Session expired | Trigger re-auth flow |
| AUTH_MFA_REQUIRED | MFA needed | Notify user, wait |
| RATE_LIMITED | Too many requests | Retry after delay |
| SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE | Upstream down | Retry with backoff |
| INVALID_INPUT | Bad parameters | Check tool schema |

## When To Use Strider

Use Strider when your user wants to:
- Execute a real-world action (not just get information)

- Enterprise SaaS (use Composio)
- Web scraping (use browser tools)
- Generic API calls (use HTTP tools)
