Get a clear picture of staff schedules

The `get_work_calendar` tool pulls the work schedule for any unit, letting you check availability instantly. Team-wide configuration via `.vscode/mcp.json` makes this available to everyone. You'll never accidentally book two things in the same time slot again.

Manage new client records quickly

Need to add a service or unit? You can run `list_services` and `list_units` to pull all current definitions. This centralized MCP Server ensures every developer uses the correct, up-to-date data for SimplyBook.me. It keeps your entire engineering team on the same page.

Review all scheduled appointments

Use `list_bookings` to view every appointment in one place. If you need historical context, running `get_booking_details` provides the full narrative for any single booking. This centralized tool makes auditing and debugging much easier for everyone.
