There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call today. The API serves venues and approved partners, and even its documentation needs a provisioned account.\n\n**Square Appointments (Bookings API).** The Bookings API lets an agent working for a Square seller search availability and create, change and cancel appointments, with a public OpenAPI spec, appointment OAuth scopes and idempotency keys. It acts for the venue. Seller-level writes need Plus or Premium, services with a no-show fee can't be booked through it, and it hasn't changed since September 2024.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### SevenRooms\n\n1. Don't plan to call SevenRooms from another agent. To book for a diner, use the venue's booking widget with the person, or a booking channel the venue lists\n2. If you work for a venue or vendor, apply through the SevenRooms partnerships form before planning an integration\n\n### Square Appointments (Bookings API)\n\n1. Act for the seller. This API books into one Square seller's calendar, not across businesses\n2. Call RetrieveBusinessBookingProfile and check `support_seller_level_writes` before trying to create or cancel a seller-level booking\n3. Call SearchAvailability first, then CreateBooking with the service variation ID and version, team member, location and customer\n4. Send a fresh `idempotency_key` on each create, update or cancel, and pass `booking_version` when cancelling\n5. Check `no_show_fee` on the service. A service with a non-zero fee must be booked by the customer elsewhere\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, SevenRooms or Square Appointments (Bookings API)?\n\nSquare Appointments (Bookings API) scores 68.1 (B) on agent readiness against SevenRooms's 17.7 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Can an agent call SevenRooms and Square Appointments (Bookings API) without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for SevenRooms.
