6 tools Read and write
Timely has no MCP server, no ChatGPT or Claude app and no public API docs. Its Zapier app has a single trigger that sends client details out (checked 9 Nov 2026). Cotlet runs 6 Timely tools hosted, over MCP for agents and REST for scripts, in your own Timely login.

Once, in a browser we host for you.
One address in its settings.
It drafts the work, you OK what customers get.
We never keep your Timely password, and no booking or move goes through until you approve it. Who can see your session
Sign in to Timely in a Cloud Browser. Create a Cotlet account, open Timely in its Cloud Browser, sign in with your Timely login and press Enable for agents.
Add the Cotlet address. Enter https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 as the MCP server or connector URL in your agent.
Let the agent in. Chat apps open a Cotlet sign-in page. Editors, n8n and scripts send an API key made in the console.
Timely shares the address https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 with every other app you enable, so one connector covers them all. Turned Timely on after connecting? Refresh the connector and the 6 tools appear.

You sign in again yourself, in the same Cloud Browser.
Disable for agents, reset the browser, or change your Timely 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).
When Timely moves a button on the calendar or renames a client tab, we fix the tool and your agent calls it the same way. status.cotlet.dev checks the site, console and API every 3 minutes.
| Action | Undo |
|---|---|
| Book an appointment | Yes, cancel it |
| Move an appointment | Move it back; a reminder already sent stays sent |
| Add a client | Yes, edit it in Timely |
2 of 6 tools ask first: book_appointment, reschedule_appointment. New clients reach no customer, so they run at once. You can turn the wait off per tool once you trust a routine.

| Zapier app | New client details to your other tools. | One trigger; no bookings. |
