How to Use the SimplyBook.me MCP in CrewAI

Q: Can SimplyBook.me integrate with CrewAI for client record updates?

Yep. The MCP Server includes listclients, letting your agent read existing company records. It provides the foundational data needed to build complex, automated operational workflows using CrewAI.

Q: What happens if I need to find a specific unit or location?

Simply call listunits. The tool returns every available provider or location within SimplyBook.me, letting your agent select the correct resource for the job at hand.

Q: How does data privacy work when using SimplyBook.me with CrewAI?

This MCP Server handles client records and all associated scheduling details. It ensures that only the necessary booking information is exposed to your autonomous agents.

MCP Server for Complex Scheduling Logic

When your crew needs to book something, it starts by calling `create_booking`, which requires a service ID, unit ID, and precise start time. It also runs `get_work_calendar` so the agents know exactly when staff units are available before committing to anything. If a booking changes or gets canceled, your agent handles the cleanup using `update_booking` or `cancel_booking`. These tools let you manage the full lifecycle of an appointment without manual intervention.

Managing SimplyBook.me Client Records with CrewAI

The system manages client identity by calling `list_clients`, giving your agent a complete roster of company customers. It also uses `list_services` to provide the context needed, ensuring that agents only try to book services you actually offer. Need to know what resources are available? Call `list_units` to get all provider or location units listed in SimplyBook.me. This data helps your crew determine who can handle a specific job.

Tracking All SimplyBook.me Bookings via MCP Server

You can track the full history of appointments by calling `list_bookings`, which returns all scheduled bookings. For deep dives, `get_booking_details` pulls up every piece of information for a single booking record. If you want to check specific dates or class times, the agent uses `list_events`. You can also look at everything currently available by calling `list_services`, giving your crew all necessary options.
