How to Use the Acuity Scheduling MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor read my Acuity Scheduling product catalog?

Yes. The agent calls the listproducts tool to grab your gift certificates and retail items. It uses those exact prices and descriptions to write your ecommerce components.

Pull Live Appointment Records into Code

The `list_appointments` tool grabs booked sessions from your system based on a specific date range. Cursor reads this live data while you write your frontend components. Your agent generates React props using actual booking times instead of fake placeholder text. Getting the granular details requires `get_appointment`, which fetches the full record via its unique ID. You ask the editor to style a confirmation email template. The AI injects the real duration, price, and category straight from your account into the HTML.

Build with Real Acuity Scheduling MCP Server Data

Calling `list_appointment_types` returns every active bookable service you offer. Your agent maps these exact services into your dropdown menus automatically. You stop copying and pasting service names between windows. Fetching the people behind the services happens with `list_calendars`. This pulls the providers and instructors tied to your account. Cursor uses those real names to populate your database seed files or UI mockups.

Check Availability During Development

Running `list_available_times` shows exactly when someone can book a specific service on a given date. You test your custom booking widget by having the AI fetch actual open slots. The editor writes the API polling logic based on real response structures. Scanning wider timeframes works through `check_availability_dates`, which checks an entire month for a specific Appointment Type ID. Your agent verifies that your date picker component correctly disables days with zero available slots. You build faster because the context is real.
