Verdicts
SevenRooms
SevenRooms runs reservations, table management and guest CRM for hospitality venues, with a Statuspage history that includes its API and a trust centre listing SOC 2 and PCI DSS. 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.
TableCheck API
TableCheck publishes OpenAPI specs for availability, booking, CRM and POS components and a merchant MCP server with read-only keys, idempotent writes and personal data hidden by default. Access is by email application with case-by-case approval and unpublished fees, the MCP server is still under development, and no audit log or dated changelog was found.
Before you call either
SevenRooms
- 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
- If you work for a venue or vendor, apply through the SevenRooms partnerships form before planning an integration
TableCheck API
- Decide which side you act for. Distribution and Web Booking serve diner-facing platforms, while Booking, CRM, POS and the MCP serve the venue
- Ask the operator for a read-only key before using the MCP, as TableCheck recommends, and avoid cancellations through it
- Call
hold_table(MCP) or POST /blockages (REST) before booking, since availability is a snapshot and a blockage expires in 5 minutes - Send dates as YYYY-MM-DD and convert the UTC times returned to the venue's time zone from
list_shops - Stay under 10,000 requests per 5 minutes per component and wait for the next window after a 429
