Book and Change Appointments

This server gives your agent direct control over your schedule. Use `create_appointment` to book new slots and `reschedule_appointment` or `cancel_appointment` to handle changes. The agent discovers these tools automatically, so there's no mapping to write. The OpenAI Agents SDK's built-in guardrails mean you can review and approve any booking action before it's final. This lets you build agents that propose schedule changes but require human confirmation for the important stuff.

Audit Your Schedule with an MCP Server

Get a clear picture of your calendar without leaving your app. Your agent can use `list_appointments` to pull upcoming meetings or `get_availability` to find open slots for a specific date range. Because the SDK handles tool discovery, you just point it at this MCP Server. Your agent can then combine data, like finding all appointments of a certain type with `list_appointment_types` and then checking their details with `get_appointment`.

Coordinate Calendars Across Agents

Build specialized agents that work together on scheduling tasks. One agent can monitor availability using `list_calendars` and `get_availability`, then hand off a potential slot to another agent responsible for booking. The OpenAI SDK's tracing dashboard gives you a full view of these handoffs. You can see exactly how your agents used tools like `get_me` to identify the right calendar and `create_appointment` to finalize the booking.

Setup guide

Set up Acuity Scheduling Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

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

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all Acuity Scheduling Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Acuity Scheduling Alternative tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Acuity Scheduling Alternative tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="Acuity Scheduling Alternative Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Acuity Scheduling Alternative tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Acuity Scheduling Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

It connects your agent directly to your scheduling data. The SDK automatically finds tools like `create_appointment` and `get_availability`, letting your agent manage your calendar. You just provide the MCP endpoint, and the agent framework handles the rest.

Yes. The OpenAI Agents SDK has built-in guardrails that can prompt for confirmation before executing actions. You can configure it to require your approval before the agent runs a destructive tool like `cancel_appointment`.

No, it's straightforward. After installing the package, you instantiate an `MCPServerStreamableHttp` object with your Vinkius URL and pass it to your agent's constructor. The tools are discovered automatically.

You get production-ready scheduling automation without writing and maintaining API integration code. This combination gives you safe, traceable actions, letting you build reliable agent systems that manage real-world calendars.

This server only interacts with your Acuity appointment and calendar data, including appointment times, types, and participant details. Vinkius runs each server in a zero-trust, ephemeral sandbox. Your connection is secured by a unique endpoint token, and the server instance is destroyed after use.
