# MakePlans MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > MakePlans lets you connect your scheduling platform to your AI agent. It gives your agent the ability to manage bookings, check real-time availability, and handle customer profiles directly. Instead of jumping between tabs, you can let your AI handle the heavy lifting of appointment management by talking to it normally. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_AvpnLswtDZGu686pEW8ToNLuunWX2nqwlaEDfYHB/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** online-booking, appointment-scheduling, service-management, staff-availability, customer-management, automation ## Description MakePlans lets you connect your scheduling platform to your AI agent. This Connector lets your agent act as a front-desk coordinator that actually understands your specific calendar. If a customer asks for a massage on Tuesday, your agent can check the available slots for that specific service, see which staff members are free, and offer a time that works. It handles the boring stuff like creating new customer profiles or listing your full catalog of services so you don't have to manually enter data into a dashboard. You get a way to manage your entire booking flow through simple conversations. Since Vinkius hosts this Connector, you can plug it into your existing setup and let your agent manage the people database while you focus on the actual work. Instead of jumping between tabs to check who is coming in or what room is free, you can just ask your agent. It can pull up the full history of a customer or check the status of a specific booking in seconds. It is about moving from checking the calendar to having the calendar managed for you. This means you can spend more time with your clients and less time fighting with a booking portal. You can even have your agent check which staff members are on shift or which rooms are currently occupied to coordinate your day more effectively. ## Tools ### delete_booking Delete/Cancel a booking ### create_booking Create a new booking ### get_booking Get details for a specific booking ### get_resource Get details for a specific resource ### get_service Get details for a specific service ### list_bookings List all bookings in MakePlans ### list_people List people (staff) ### list_resources g., rooms, equipment).

The agent uses create_new_customer to save their info, then find_available_slots to see when the stylist is free, and finally create_new_appointment to lock it in. ### Checking daily schedule An owner asks who they are seeing today. The agent calls list_appointments and summarizes the day's names and services in a bulleted list. ### Resource planning A manager needs to know if a room is free. The agent uses list_booking_resources to check room availability for a specific time. ### Customer lookup A person calls asking about their last visit. The agent uses list_customers to find them and get_appointment_details to see their history. ## Benefits - Stop manual data entry by having your agent create new customer profiles automatically during conversations using create_new_customer. - Reduce scheduling errors because your agent uses find_available_slots to ensure no double bookings occur. - Save time on resource management by using list_booking_resources to see staff and room status instantly. - Improve customer experience by letting your agent pull booking info from get_appointment_details to answer questions faster. - Keep your service list updated by letting your agent pull the latest options from list_available_services. - Simplify your workflow by using list_appointments to get a quick overview of your day without opening the MakePlans portal. ## How It Works The bottom line is you turn your scheduling data into a conversational tool for your business. 1.
