Script office bookings with this MCP Server

The `list_locations` tool retrieves your company's physical office IDs directly into your Claude Code shell. You can pipe this output to other command-line utilities or let the agent parse the layout. No browser is needed to coordinate office visits. Claude Code uses this MCP Server connection to check desk availability and display it as plain terminal text.

Check real-time space availability in Claude Code

The `get_free_busy` tool checks availability for multiple rooms within your terminal session. Claude Code queries this endpoint to find immediate openings when you need to jump into a call. If a room is free, Claude Code executes `book_space` to lock it down. The entire process takes seconds, returning a clean JSON confirmation directly to stdout.

Manage hot desks via Claude Code CLI

The `reserve_desk` tool books a specific workstation for your next shift. Claude Code runs this command directly from your terminal, bypassing the need to open a mobile app or web portal. If your travel plans change, Claude Code runs `cancel_desk_reservation` to instantly free up the desk. You can easily script this into your daily shell startup or shutdown routines.
