Connect the scheduling MCP Server

This Acuity Scheduling Alternative MCP Server equips your agent crew with full read and write access to your booking system. You assign calendar management to specialized workers instead of manual admins. A researcher agent uses `get_availability` to find gaps. A coordinator agent follows up by executing `create_appointment` to lock in the meeting.

Run autonomous calendar audits

Teams of agents use this server to scan your schedule for inefficiencies and reorganize meetings based on priority rules you define. The hierarchical execution ensures managers approve changes before they happen. Your monitor agent calls `list_appointments` and `get_appointment` to analyze the week. If it finds conflicts, an executor agent runs `reschedule_appointment` or `cancel_appointment` to fix them.

Map complex booking categories

Your crew maps this server's structure autonomously so they route requests to the right place. Large organizations have dozens of calendars and service types. Tools like `list_calendars`, `list_categories`, and `list_appointment_types` feed the shared memory. `get_me` verifies the active account limits before the agents start processing bulk updates.

Setup guide

Set up Acuity Scheduling Alternative MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Acuity Scheduling Alternative tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Acuity Scheduling Alternative Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Acuity Scheduling Alternative data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Acuity Scheduling Alternative access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Acuity Scheduling Alternative transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Acuity Scheduling Alternative Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Acuity Scheduling Alternative data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Acuity Scheduling Alternative access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Acuity Scheduling Alternative transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)

Common questions about Acuity Scheduling Alternative MCP in CrewAI

Pass the Vinkius endpoint directly into your agent's mcps array. For tighter control, use MCPServerHTTP with a tool_filter to restrict access.

Yes. Your entire crew shares access to the server. A junior agent can check availability while a senior agent handles the actual booking.

Use the tool filter during setup. You simply exclude `cancel_appointment` from the allowed list when configuring the HTTP transport for this MCP Server.

It does. You can configure stdio, SSE, or Streamable HTTP depending on how you deploy your multi-agent architecture.

The Vinkius infrastructure processes your meeting times and attendee lists in memory only. No logs retain your scheduling data after the run finishes.
