easyTable via fpx (no MCP)

easyTable fronts every book.easytable.com endpoint — reads and writes alike — with a Cloudflare check that 403s any plain curl/Node request. fpx routes the request through the user's own signed-in browser tab (the ContextMint Bridge extension), which has already cleared the challenge, so the same requests succeed. There's no easyTable login: a restaurant is identified only by its id (a.k.a. place) from its widget URL https://book.easytable.com/book/?id=<placeId>.

This is the same data/actions the easytable_* MCP tools use, reached with one-shot CLI calls instead of a running server.

One-time setup

npm install -g @fetchproxy/cli               # provides `fpx`
fpx profile add easytable --domain easytable.com
fpx pair -p easytable                        # prints a pair code → approve in ContextMint Bridge

Requirements: the ContextMint Bridge extension installed (from https://github.com/nullnet-app/contextmint-bridge/releases — Chrome: load the chrome zip unpacked; Safari: ships inside the ContextMint app, no public download yet, so use Chrome for now — it is the renamed fetchproxy extension, same maintainer; source is public, so build it or verify the zip with its published .sha256), with an open https://book.easytable.com/book/?id=<placeId> tab left to finish loading (its Turnstile check solves itself), and Chrome Site access allowing easytable.com. Pairing persists after the first approval.

Core call

Reads are GET requests that return HTML fragments (not JSON) — the widget loads them into a container div. Send the X-Requested-With header the widget sends, and pipe the fragment to grep/sed rather than jq:

fpx get 'https://book.easytable.com/book/ajax/types.asp?id=1fdfc&lang=en' \
  -p easytable -H 'X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest'

Ready-to-run URLs + extraction recipes for every read, plus the cancel write and the create/modify payload shape, are in references/easytable-requests.md. Exhaustive parsing lives in the repo at src/parse.ts / docs/EASYTABLE-API.md — the recipes here are compact greps against the same markup those parsers target.

The one rule: resolve the type first

Dates and times are scoped to a booking area. Always list types first, take the type id, then feed it to dates/times:

fpx get 'https://book.easytable.com/book/ajax/types.asp?id=1fdfc&lang=en' \
  -p easytable -H 'X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest' \
  | grep -oE '<a[^>]*type=[0-9]+[^>]*>[^<]*</a>'
# <a href="#type=13991">Boka Inne</a>

Same pattern for cancelling: resolve the booking id via cancel-search.asp (by mobile number) before calling the cancel endpoint.

Creating or modifying a booking — not fully doable through fpx

easytable_create_booking/easytable_modify_booking need a live Cloudflare Turnstile token, read from the widget's hidden input[name="cf-turnstile-response"]. The MCP harvests it with a bespoke read_dom verb wired into this repo's own fetchproxy transport (bridge-fetchproxy.ts) — the stock fpx CLI has no DOM-read command (only get/post-json/request/cookies/local-storage/session-storage/ indexeddb/session), so it cannot harvest that token.

The other three page-derived values (bookingToken, cancellationtime, lcid) ARE plain server-rendered text, so fpx get + grep gets them fine — see references/easytable-requests.md for the full payload shape and a manual-token workaround (read the Turnstile input yourself from the browser console). Treat create/modify as a manual/hybrid flow, not a clean one-shot.

Exit codes (fetch verbs)

• 0 — success. Write endpoints answer HTTP 200 even on a rejected booking (Status:0 in the body) — always check the parsed Status, not just the exit code.
• 2 — bridge unavailable: extension not connected or pairing pending → run fpx pair -p easytable, confirm an easytable tab is open.
• 3 — bot wall: the tab hasn't cleared Cloudflare → open/refresh a book.easytable.com tab and retry.
• 4 — upstream non-2xx from easyTable.

Notes

• No easyTable account or API key involved — this is the user's own action on their own signed-in browser session.
• fpx health -p easytable shows bridge connection state when a call fails.
• Don't fire real create/cancel calls just to "test" the flow — a confirmed write here books/cancels a real table at a real restaurant.
