Generate Code with Real API Data

Stop writing code with fake data. Tell Cursor's agent to fetch an appointment with `get_appointment` or `list_appointments`. It will then generate functions or components using the actual data structure from your Acuity account. This means the code you write works the first time. You're building against live, valid responses for things like appointment times, attendees, and types. No more surprises when you hit the real API.

Scaffold Scheduling Features in Cursor

Building a custom booking page or an internal scheduling tool? Use `get_availability` and `list_appointment_types` to get the exact slots and options available. The agent can then write the front-end code to display them. When it's time to book, the agent can use `create_appointment` to generate the correct API call for your backend. You get from idea to working code in minutes, all inside your editor.

Script Calendar Audits with This MCP Server

Need to analyze booking patterns or find scheduling conflicts? Ask the agent to use `list_appointments` and `list_calendars` to pull the data you need. From there, you can have it write a Python script or a JavaScript function to process the data. It's a fast way to automate reporting without ever leaving your project.
