How to Use the Zoho Bookings MCP in LangChain

Q: How do I check Zoho Bookings availability using LangChain?

You use the getstaffslots tool. Your agent first calls this function, passing in a staff member's ID or name. It then processes the JSON output to find specific date/time combinations that work.

Q: Is the Zoho Bookings MCP Server useful for cancellation?

Absolutely. The cancelappointment tool allows your agent to process a booking ID and execute the cancellation immediately. It's critical for maintaining accurate, up-to-date records.

Perplexity

Orchestrate full scheduling logic

The `book_appointment` tool lets your agent take raw JSON input and book a new time slot directly. It handles the entire transaction, moving from initial request to confirmation record. You can combine this with `get_staff_slots` first. Your ReAct agent determines which staff member is free, calls that tool, uses the resulting slots to formulate the booking call, and executes the final reservation.

Manage services and availability

Need to know what's on offer? Call `list_services` to pull a complete catalog of offerings. This output feeds into subsequent steps where your agent decides which service ID must be used for an appointment booking. Additionally, checking staff capacity is easy using `get_staff_slots`. The resulting data set—showing available times and staff IDs—becomes the input context for deciding if a meeting is possible.

Maintain records of appointments

To get an overview, your agent runs `list_appointments`, pulling all current bookings into memory. This list allows you to check historical data or verify who needs follow-up calls. If things change, calling `cancel_appointment` removes the booking record entirely. Your multi-step chain can confirm the cancellation status and then log that event to a separate database.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho Bookings MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes Zoho Bookings tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "zoho-bookings-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent Zoho Bookings transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
