Check availability via OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent queries `check_availability_dates` to identify open slots without manual lookup. It pulls data directly from your service definitions to confirm timing. This keeps your agent loop tight. By using `list_available_times`, the system avoids scheduling conflicts before they occur.

Full appointment control for agents

The agent uses `list_appointments` to scan your existing schedule. It extracts precise details using `get_appointment` when you need to confirm specific client data. Everything happens inside your Python code logic. You avoid context switching by having your agent handle these queries natively.

Sync business metadata into agents

Your agent pulls your `list_appointment_types` to understand current service pricing and duration constraints. It reads `list_calendars` to see which providers are active. This setup bridges your business logic with your agent. The server makes sure your agent knows exactly what products and classes are currently live.

Setup guide

Set up Acuity Scheduling 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 tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Acuity Scheduling 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 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 Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Acuity Scheduling tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Acuity Scheduling MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You define an MCPServerStreamableHttp instance pointing to your server URL. Pass this into your agent constructor to let the framework auto-discover your tools.

The server provides tools to read data and check availability. Your agent uses these to drive decision-making based on your current business status.

The server returns structured output for every tool call. You can use your agent's built-in guardrails to catch bad inputs before the request hits the API.

Your booking data travels over HTTPS using an endpoint token you provide. No sensitive customer information is stored in the agent's memory between sessions.

The server throws a standard exception that your agent catches. You can then trigger a fallback path in your code to alert a human operator.
