Bring Scheduling Api
to VS Code Copilot
Learn how to connect Timekit to VS Code Copilot and start using 11 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Timekit MCP Server?
Connect your Timekit account to any AI agent and simplify how you manage resource availability, booking workflows, and customer appointments through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Resource Management — List all resources (people, rooms, equipment) and create new profiles to manage scheduling capacity.
- Booking Lifecycle — Create new bookings, confirm tentative requests, or decline/cancel existing appointments via AI.
- Availability Checking — Programmatically find available time slots for one or more resources based on specific date ranges and durations.
- Rescheduling — Easily move existing bookings to new time slots without manual dashboard entry.
- Workflow Control — Manage complex booking 'graphs' (instant, confirm_decline) directly from your workspace.
- Account Visibility — Retrieve detailed metadata for specific bookings and resources to stay on top of your schedule.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Timekit API Key (found in your developer settings)
3. Start managing your scheduling infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Service Providers — quickly book client consultations and check availability via simple AI commands.
- Office Managers — manage room bookings and equipment scheduling across the organization directly from the workspace.
- Product Teams — automate the creation of resources and monitor booking flows via the AI assistant.

Frequently asked questions
Can I check availability for multiple resources at once?
Yes! Use the check_availability tool and provide a JSON array of Resource IDs. The agent will return time slots where all specified resources are available.
How do I confirm a tentative booking request?
Use the confirm_booking action and provide the unique Booking ID. This will transition the request from 'tentative' to 'confirmed' in your Timekit account.
Is it possible to reschedule an existing appointment via AI?
Absolutely. Use the reschedule_booking tool. Provide the Booking ID and the new start and end times to update the appointment instantly.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
