## Verdicts

**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 Access is by email application with case-by-case approval and unpublished fees, the MCP server is still under development, and no audit log or dated changelog was found.

**Treatwell.** Treatment and venue discovery with visible consumer prices. Open agent booking access was not verified.

## Before you call either

### TableCheck API

1. Decide which side you act for. Distribution and Web Booking serve diner-facing platforms, while Booking, CRM, POS and the MCP serve the venue
2. Ask the operator for a read-only key before using the MCP, as TableCheck recommends, and avoid cancellations through it
3. Call `hold_table` (MCP) or POST /blockages (REST) before booking, since availability is a snapshot and a blockage expires in 5 minutes
4. Send dates as YYYY-MM-DD and convert the UTC times returned to the venue's time zone from `list_shops`
5. Stay under 10,000 requests per 5 minutes per component and wait for the next window after a 429

### Treatwell

1. Hand the final booking to the person unless Treatwell has approved an integration.
2. Check the selected venue’s cancellation deadline and payment option.
