Verdicts
Chope
Chope is a diner-facing restaurant booking site and app in Singapore, Bangkok, Phuket, Jakarta and Bali, owned by Grab, with free bookings and app releases in September 2026. No public API or MCP server lets an outside agent search or book, and restaurant integrations run through partners such as TableCheck and SevenRooms by arrangement.
Resy
Resy is a large diner reservation network, now including Tock's venues, with American Express behind it. There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call today. An Amex-hosted MCP endpoint exists but accepts only pre-registered clients and has no public documentation, and Resy's own terms and privacy pages could not be read.
Before you call either
Chope
- Don't plan to call Chope from another agent. Hand the booking to the person, who can use the Chope site, the app or Grab Dine Out
- For a restaurant on Chope that also uses TableCheck or SevenRooms, check whether that platform's API covers the venue
- Tell the person that some restaurants ask for a deposit, which depends on the restaurant, day and party size
Resy
- Don't plan to call Resy from another agent. Hand the booking to the person in the Resy app, or use a client that American Express has approved for its dining MCP
- Do not automate the Resy website or app, since Resy runs a bot-detection programme against automated booking
