# Checkfront MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Checkfront MCP lets you manage your tours, activities, and rentals through your AI client. It handles booking details, inventory availability, and customer profiles so you can give your guests instant answers or update your schedule without jumping back and forth between tabs. ## Overview - **Category:** ecommerce - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_qrJIE7I8XPdnTclMdxiBLasC4c6LpPQsMYTmj4NV/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** booking-engine, reservations, inventory-management, scheduling, activity-management ## Description This Connector connects your booking platform to your AI client. Instead of hunting through different dashboards to see who's coming or what's left in your inventory, you can just ask your agent to pull that info for you. It handles the heavy lifting of checking real-time availability for specific dates, listing out your various tour packages, or finding a customer's past booking history. Whether you're running a kayak rental shop, a guided hiking business, or a boutique adventure tour, this setup lets you manage the nuts and bolts of your reservations without the manual overhead. It's part of the Vinkius catalog, making it easy to plug into your existing workflow and connect your data to the tools you already use. You can quickly see your full list of bookable items, group them by category, or grab your specific business settings to keep everything organized. It turns your booking data into a conversation, so you spend less time on data entry and more time running your actual business. You can check if a specific tour is sold out for a weekend, see how many spots are left in a group booking, or find a customer's contact details in seconds. This means you can provide faster answers to your guests and keep your team updated on the latest schedule changes without constantly refreshing your browser. ## Tools ### list_bookings See all reservations, including dates and group sizes.
