## MCP Server (Model Context Protocol)

BookingMaven exposes a native MCP server for AI agents:

- Endpoint: https://mcp.bookingmaven.com/mcp (also served at https://bookingmaven.com/api/mcp)
- Protocol: MCP 2025-11-25, Streamable HTTP (stateless)
- Auth: none for booking tools; list_my_bookings and link_account require a signed-in (OAuth) connection
- Discovery: https://bookingmaven.com/.well-known/agent.json
- Docs: https://bookingmaven.com/ai

Available tools: search_businesses, get_business, get_availability, book_appointment, get_booking, reschedule_appointment, cancel_appointment, create_account, list_my_bookings, link_account, start_business_signup

book_appointment returns a booking_id and lookup_token; keep both to check, reschedule, or cancel the booking later without an account.
