Pabau API and MCP server Let your AI agent keep the reception book accurate.

Pabau: Pabau publishes an official API for selected business operations. Its help center explicitly says pipelines and stages cannot be created through the API. This Cotlet page covers scheduling and contacts only. No vendor-operated Pabau MCP server or official ChatGPT or Claude connector was established in the sources checked on 12 November 2026. Checked 12 November 2026. Cotlet provides 63 Cloud Browser capabilities for ChatGPT and Claude in your business account. This Pabau connection is limited to scheduling and contact work. Reception can look up the person and appointment needed for an admin request; clinical notes and treatment decisions stay outside these capabilities.

How to connect Pabau to your AI agent

  1. 1

    Sign in to Pabau in a Cloud Browser. Open Pabau in your Cotlet Cloud Browser and sign in with your own business account at app.pabau.com.

  2. 2

    Add the Cotlet address. Enter https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 as the MCP server or connector URL in your agent.

  3. 3

    Let the agent in. Chat apps open a Cotlet sign-in page. Editors, n8n and scripts send an API key made in the console.

Pabau shares the address https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 with every other app you enable, so one connector covers them all. Turned Pabau on after connecting? Refresh the connector and the 63 tools appear.

Security overview

  • What we store

    Your signed-in Pabau profile, AES-256-GCM encrypted, in Finland. No password.

  • What your agent gets

    The 63 Pabau tools, never the session cookie.

  • What the session sees

    The records and screens available to your signed-in role in Pabau.

  • What no tool touches

    Clinical notes, diagnosis, treatment, prescriptions and medical financial workflows. Owner sign-in, MFA, subscription billing and bank credentials stay with the owner.

  • If Pabau signs you out

    You sign in again yourself, in the same Cloud Browser.

  • How to cut access

    Disable for agents, reset the browser, or change your Pabau password.

Cotlet never types your password: you sign in yourself, and the agent only uses the session. Our site scores A+ on Qualys SSL Labs, securityheaders.com and Mozilla Observatory (live results).

Your account

What happens when Pabau changes? The tools work in your own signed-in Pabau account.

Cotlet watches Pabau and updates the server when its screens change.

New Pabau features become available to the agent within your account permissions.

Your Pabau account and role determine which records and screens the agent can use.

If Pabau signs you out, open your Cloud Browser with one click from the Cotlet console and sign in again.
