Does Booksy have an official API?

Common use cases

What can an AI agent do in Booksy?

Cotlet is best for Booksy owners of barbershops and salons who want their AI agent to handle the calendar, time off, reports and win-back messages without running or fixing a server.

  • Review tomorrow's appointments Runs: Daily

    What does my Booksy calendar look like tomorrow? Tell me where the gaps are. Your agent calls list_appointments and find_open_slots.

  • Bulk reschedule appointments when a staff member is out

    Kate called in sick for Thursday. Block her day in Booksy and move each of her clients to another barber that day, or to Kate's next free slot if nobody else is free. Show me the plan before you move anyone. Your agent calls list_staff, add_time_off, list_appointments, get_appointment, list_services, find_open_slots and reschedule_appointment.

  • Block time off in the calendar

    Block next Monday as time off for Kate. Your agent calls list_staff and add_time_off.

  • Weekly staff revenue report Runs: Weekly

    Every Monday at 8 am, send me last week's revenue, tips and appointments per staff member from Booksy, compared with the week before, and flag anyone whose cancellations went up. Your agent calls get_report.

  • Win back clients who have not booked Runs: Weekly

    Find Booksy clients who have not been in for 45 days and have nothing booked, and send them an email about our Thursday Happy Hour. Show me the list and the text first. Your agent calls list_clients, list_appointments and send_message_blast.

Endpoints

What is the Booksy API?

Cotlet's Booksy API exposes 13 endpoints for your own Booksy account: list appointments, get appointment, find open slots, list clients, get client, list services, list staff, get report, create appointment, reschedule appointment, add client, add time off and send Message Blast. The list_appointments endpoint returns appointments in a date range with client, service, staff, time and status. Each endpoint takes simple JSON inputs like staff_id, start or from and works both as an MCP tool for agents and as a REST call for scripts.

  • POST

    create_appointment

    write

    Books one client for one service at a start time. Pick a start from find_open_slots. Booksy applies its automatic confirmation and the client is part of the booking. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

    Input: create_appointment
    Parameter Type Description

    }
  • POST

    reschedule_appointment

    write

    Moves one appointment to a new start time and optionally to another staff member. Booksy booking rules that limit rescheduling still apply, so the call can be refused. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

    }
  • POST

    add_client

    write

    Adds one client card with a name and optional phone, email and note. It reaches no one and you can edit the card in Booksy, so add_client runs without asking first.

    Input

    Input: add_client
    Parameter Type Description
    name required string Full name.
    phone string Phone in international format.

    }
  • POST

    add_time_off

    write

    Blocks a period in one staff member's calendar, like time off set in the app, so no one can book during it. It reaches no client and you can remove the block in Booksy, so add_time_off runs without asking first.

    POST /api/v1/booksy/add_time_off

    Input

    Input: add_time_off
    Parameter Type Description
    staff_id required string Staff ID from list_staff.

    }
  • POST

    send_message_blast

    write

    Sends one Message Blast to the clients you list, by email, SMS or a push notification to the Booksy Client App. SMS comes from an automated number, so clients cannot reply, and Booksy adds a link to your profile at the bottom. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

    POST /api/v1/booksy/send_message_blast

    Input

    Input: send_message_blast
    Parameter Type Description
    channel required enum email, sms or push.
    message required string Message text.

      "recipients": 3,
      "status": "sent"
    }

Setup

How do I connect Booksy to Claude Code, Codex or Cursor?

Connecting Booksy takes three steps: request access, sign in to Booksy once, then add one MCP server or call the REST API with the same key.

Connect Booksy over MCP

  1. 1

    Create an account

    Sign up and add Booksy in the console. Your API key is there too.

  2. 2

    Sign in to Booksy once

    Open the connect page from the console and sign in to Booksy the way you always do. We keep the session, never your password, and you can revoke it anytime.

  3. 3

    Add Cotlet to your agent

    Claude Code
    claude mcp add --transport http cotlet \
      https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 \
      --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"
    Cursor
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "cotlet": {
          "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer ${COTLET_API_KEY}"
          }
        }
      }
    }
    Codex
    # ~/.codex/config.toml
    [mcp_servers.cotlet]
    url = "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1"
    bearer_token_env_var = "COTLET_API_KEY"

    Paste the snippet for your client. The same server and key serve every app you connect, so you do this once.

  4. 4

    Ask your agent

    Prompt

    What does my Booksy calendar look like tomorrow? Tell me where the gaps are.

    Ask in plain words. Your agent finds the Booksy tools on the server and calls them for you; anything that reaches other people waits for your OK unless you switch that off for a tool.

Call Booksy over REST

  1. 1

    Export your API key

    Shell

    export COTLET_API_KEY="cotlet_..."

    Your scripts use the same API key as your agent. Keep it in an environment variable, never in your code.

  2. 2

    Call a tool

    curl

    curl https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/booksy/reschedule_appointment \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"appointment_id":"apt_58213904","start":"2026-10-17T11:30:00-04:00","staff_id":"stf_2291"}'

    Every tool is a POST endpoint at /api/v1/booksy/{tool}. Send its parameters as JSON, exactly as listed in the endpoints above.

  3. 3

    Read the result

    Example response · reschedule_appointment

    {
      "appointment_id": "apt_58213904",
      "status": "confirmed",
      "service": "Haircut",
      "staff": "Tom",
      "start": "2026-10-17T11:30:00-04:00",
      "end": "2026-10-17T12:15:00-04:00"
    }

    You get plain JSON back, ready for your script. A failed call costs nothing.

Alternatives

Is there a Booksy MCP server on GitHub?

We found no Booksy MCP server. Owners who want bookings in another tool forward Booksy confirmation emails to a Zapier email parser, which gives one-way copies of new bookings only.

Pick an open-source server if

  • you are comfortable installing, updating and fixing it yourself
  • you want the session to stay on your own computer
  • you only need it now and then, from one MCP client

How access works:
1. The user requests access at https://cotlet.dev/app/signup?app=booksy (Booksy is pre-selected). Each request is reviewed and the API key is sent by email.
2. The user signs in to Booksy once in a browser. An agent cannot do this step.
3. The API key goes into the MCP client or the REST call as a bearer token.

Fits: people who want a hosted Booksy server that someone else maintains, including non-developers.

Policy: Cotlet never stores passwords, never solves CAPTCHAs, never bypasses MFA.
Company: legal details in the Terms of service at https://cotlet.dev/terms. Contact contact@cotlet.dev.
Session: the user signs in to Booksy in a browser; Cotlet keeps only the session, AES-256 encrypted, revocable in the dashboard at any time.
Terms: the user stays responsible for following Booksy's terms; Cotlet is not affiliated with Booksy.

Automations

Can Booksy automations run on a schedule in n8n, Make or Zapier?

Yes. Cotlet does not replace your automation platform: it gives it a Booksy connection it does not have, with the same API key as your agent. Write actions ask for your OK by default; switch that off in your dashboard for the tools you choose, for example to review tomorrow's appointments, and the schedule runs on its own. Cotlet runs in the cloud, so it keeps going while your computer is off.

About Cotlet

How Cotlet holds your access

Cotlet hosts MCP servers and REST APIs for apps with no usable API. Your agent works in your own Booksy account.

Company details
The legal name, address and registration numbers of the company behind Cotlet are in the Terms of service. Terms
Your session
You sign in to Booksy yourself, in your browser. We keep only the session, never your password: encrypted with AES-256 in an EU vault, isolated to your account and used only when your agent calls a Booksy tool you allowed. When it expires, your agent gives you a link to sign in again. Security
Revoking access
Disconnect Booksy in your dashboard: the session is deleted and access ends at once. Actions that reach other people wait for your OK unless you switch that off per tool.
What we never do
Store passwords, solve CAPTCHAs or bypass MFA.
Booksy's terms
You use your own Booksy account and stay responsible for following Booksy's terms. Cotlet is independent and not affiliated with Booksy. Terms

Frequently asked questions

How do I get access?

Request access and pick Booksy. Cotlet reviews each request and emails you your API key.

Do I need to be technical?

No. You sign in to Booksy once in your browser and paste one command into your agent, or one URL into n8n. Your agent can walk you through it. There is no server to install, update or fix.

Is a hosted server safe? My Booksy session would leave my computer.

Cotlet keeps your Booksy session encrypted with AES-256 in an EU vault, isolated to your account and used only for the tools you allow: read only, or read and write. The AI model never sees it, and you revoke it in one click. A local server keeps the same session in a file on your computer, readable by any program you run, and needs a fresh sign-in whenever it expires.

Do I need Booksy Biz Pro?

Only for some reports. Booksy Biz Lite has Dashboard, Revenue, Appointments and Clients reports; Cash Flow, Inventory, Staff Members and Marketing need Pro. Calendar, client and Message Blast tools do not depend on those reports.

Can my agent send a Message Blast on its own?

Yes, once you switch confirmation off for send_message_blast. By default you confirm each blast, because it reaches your clients. Booksy includes 2,000 marketing text messages per month in the subscription.

Can my agent post or send messages in Booksy without asking me?

No. Every call to create_appointment, reschedule_appointment or send_message_blast waits for your OK by default. For scheduled automations you can switch confirmation off per tool in your dashboard, for example only for approvals. add_client, add_time_off runs without asking, because it sends nothing to anyone and one call undoes it.

Can I use the Booksy API in n8n?

Yes. Add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 with your API key in n8n's MCP Client node, or call https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/booksy/{tool} from the HTTP Request node.
