## Overview

**Grade C · 57/100 · rank #759 of 1349 · #7 in Calendars & scheduling · not agent-ready · confidence medium**


## Assessment

A small REST API with a public OpenAPI spec, cursor pagination and signed webhooks, plus a hosted MCP server with 63 tools, OAuth 2.1 and read and write scopes, on every plan. No general rate limit, idempotency key, SDK or certification was found, and booking through a link needs a paid seat.

## Facts

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Vendor | SavvyCal, Inc. (https://savvycal.com) |
| Kind | HTTP API |
| Category | Calendars & scheduling (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/scheduling) |
| Transport | HTTP, Streamable HTTP |
| Endpoint | `https://api.savvycal.com/v1` |
| Auth | OAuth or key · Personal access tokens (`pt_secret_...`) made in Settings > Developers, or OAuth 2 authorisation code apps registered there, both sent as `Authorization: Bearer`. OAuth access tokens last 2 hours with a refresh token, and the spec declares no scopes for either. The MCP server at https://savvycal.com/mcp signs in with OAuth 2.1 (PKCE S256, dynamic client registration, scopes `mcp:read` and `mcp:write`, a revocation endpoint) and needs no key. |
| Pricing | Freemium ($12 / seat-mo) · The API, webhooks and the MCP server are on every plan including Free, per the plans page. Free accounts connect calendars, make links and run polls, but people can only book a link on Basic ($12 a user a month, $120 a year) or Premium ($20 a user a month, $200 a year). No self-serve trial, a 30-day money-back guarantee instead, and no card is mentioned for Free. 25 per cent off for students, educators and nonprofits. |
| x402 | No · No x402, MPP or L402 in the developer docs, the OpenAPI spec at api.savvycal.com/v1/spec or the pricing page (checked 2026-11-03). The spec has no 402 response. |
| Licence | unknown |
| Tools exposed | 63 |
| Docs | https://docs.savvycal.com/developers |
| llms.txt | https://docs.savvycal.com/llms.txt |
| Last release | 2026-10-27 |
| Surface listed | The REST API v1 at https://api.savvycal.com/v1 and the hosted MCP server at https://savvycal.com/mcp, read from docs.savvycal.com, the OpenAPI spec, savvycal.com, the status page and the updates board on 3 November 2026. No account was made and no tool was called; the MCP endpoint answered 401 with protected-resource metadata to a plain GET |
| REST operations | 22. Events (list, get, cancel, create on a link), scheduling links (list, create personal, create in a scope, get, update, delete, duplicate, toggle, slots), current user, time zones (list, get), webhooks (list, create, get, delete), workflows (list, rules) |
| MCP tools | 63 per the docs. Account 2, events 6, scheduling links 9, people on links 3, availability 15, calendars 2, contacts and people 5, meeting polls 7, workflows 6, teams 6, branding 2. It cannot manage integrations, billing or team roles |
| Rate limits | Only one documented, 10 event creations a minute per link, failed ones included, answered with 429. No general limit, Retry-After or idempotency key found |
| Pagination | Cursor based. `limit` 1 to 100 (default 20), `after` and `before` from the response `metadata`, null at either end |
| Errors | An `errors` object keyed by field name (`base` for the whole request), each entry with `message`, optional `validation` such as required, format or length, and `count`. 400, 401, 404, 422 and 429 declared per operation |
| Webhooks | 16 event types (event lifecycle, paid checkout, attendees, polls, workflow actions), HMAC-SHA256 signature per webhook secret, up to 20 attempts with exponential backoff, request log in the app |
| Calendars | Google Calendar and Microsoft 365, the two components on the status page, plus iCloud and Outlook per the docs |
| SDKs | None official. The docs recommend open-source OAuth client libraries |
| Hosting | Fly.io, IAD region (Virginia), with the database on Crunchy Bridge on AWS us-east, per the security page. Processor list at savvycal.com/data-processors, updated 24 October 2026 |
| Legal entity | SavvyCal, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, named in the terms (21 January 2026), privacy policy (17 October 2026) and DPA |
| Capabilities | calendar.booking, calendar.availability, calendar.read, calendar.webhooks |

## Score breakdown (methodology v0.7, October 2026 research run)

Assessed 2026-11-03 from public evidence against the published checklist (https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/#checklist). Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. "This run" is each category's share of the 100 points.

| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 70 | 14.0 |
| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |
| Schema & documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 74 | 12.0 |
| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 53 | 8.6 |
| Security & auth | 14% | 17.5 | 50 | 8.8 |
| Payments & pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 30 | 3.8 |
| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |
| Maintenance & community | 7% | 8.8 | 40 | 3.5 |
| Transparency & trust (editorial 57, provenance 89) | 7% | 8.8 | 73 | 6.4 |
| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |
| **Total** | | | | **57 → C** |

### Why each score

- Reliability 70 (checked 2026-11-03): Read with the hosted lines. Instatus page at savvycal.instatus.com with App, Microsoft 365, Google Calendar and Integrations components and a month-by-month history (20). No notices from June to November 2026 and 100 per cent App uptime each month, a clean record (30). The only limit with a number is in the OpenAPI spec, 10 event creations a minute per link, failed ones included; nothing covers the rest of the API (7 of 15). That 429 is declared with no Retry-After, backoff guidance or idempotency key, and webhooks are the only place retries are described (3 of 15). No SLA; the terms give the service as is (0). The v1 API is generally available and the MCP server, announced 27 October 2026, is not marked beta (10). 20 + 30 + 7 + 3 + 0 + 10 = 70.
- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.
- Schema & documentation 74 (checked 2026-11-03): OpenAPI 3.0.0 at api.savvycal.com/v1/spec covers all 22 operations with 56 schemas; the MCP tools' schemas could not be read without signing in (23 of 25). llms.txt and a Markdown twin of every docs page (10). Only 8 of the 22 operations carry a description, and those state constraints (events must match an open slot, an invalid filter resets every filter) rather than when to choose another endpoint (10 of 20). Required flags on 14 of 43 parameters, 34 enum properties across the schemas, `limit` bounded 1 to 100, `until` at most 31 days after `from` (12 of 15). Example values on parameters and a documented error shape keyed by field, with 400, 401, 404, 422 and 429 declared per operation, but no full response examples (10 of 15). A /v1 path and a promise that changes are additive, with dated product updates on the feedback board but no API changelog (9 of 15). 23 + 10 + 10 + 12 + 10 + 9 = 74.
- Agent ergonomics 53 (checked 2026-11-03): List responses are sized by `limit` (default 20, at most 100) with no field selection. The MCP server lists 63 tools with no documented toolset or read-only list, though a client can ask for the `mcp:read` scope alone (10 of 25). Cursor pagination with `after`, `before` and `limit`, and date and status filters on events (17 of 20). Errors name the field, the failed validation and a limit count, which an agent can act on, but a 429 carries no wait time (14 of 20). No idempotency key on booking or link creation, and the MCP annotations could not be read; the docs say the assistant confirms before cancelling, deleting or inviting (6 of 20). Creating an event needs five fields, and there is no official SDK in any language (6 of 15). 10 + 17 + 14 + 6 + 6 = 53.
- Security & auth 50 (checked 2026-11-03): OAuth 2 authorisation code apps with 2-hour access tokens and refresh tokens, and personal access tokens, both in the Authorization header only. The spec declares no scopes for either, and PAT expiry and revocation are not described. The MCP server uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE S256, dynamic client registration, `mcp:read` and `mcp:write` scopes and a revocation endpoint (22 of 30). `mcp:read` gives a read-only MCP grant, and the vendor says the assistant asks before booking, cancelling, deleting or inviting. REST tokens have no read-only form (14 of 20). Invitee names, answers and metadata written by outsiders come back through events and webhooks with no injection guidance; the AI page says the assistant sees calendar conflicts but not event names (2 of 15). Webhook request logs and a Connected Apps list with revoke, but no per-call audit log for the operator (4 of 15). Valid security.txt to 2 May 2027, a security page and an SSDLC page, but no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 (the page says not yet) and no bug bounty (8 of 20). 22 + 14 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 50.
- Payments & pricing 30 (checked 2026-11-03): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Per-seat plan prices public, nothing per call (10). A Free plan with the API, webhooks and MCP server included and no card mentioned, though booking through a link needs Basic or Premium and there is no self-serve trial (20). A person signs up in a browser and approves the OAuth consent (0). 0 + 10 + 20 + 0 = 30.
- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.
- Maintenance & community 40 (checked 2026-11-03): Read as a closed service. The newest dated change is the MCP integration of 27 October 2026 on the updates board (30). It is the only dated entry since 7 July, so fewer than three in 90 days (0 of 20). A public updates board, a feature request board and a support address with a stated 24-hour reply within US Central business hours (10 of 15). No official SDKs (0). No package to assess (0). 30 + 0 + 10 + 0 + 0 = 40.
- Transparency & trust 73 (checked 2026-11-03): Closed service with terms that name SavvyCal, Inc. under Minnesota law and forbid automated access to the site, with the API left to the developer docs (15 of 30). The privacy policy (17 October 2026), DPA (16 January 2023) and processor list (24 October 2026) agree on US hosting, Stripe and return or destruction on termination, but no retention period is stated beyond account lifetime (22 of 30). The developer overview promises additive changes; there is no deprecation policy or dated notice, and the terms allow any feature to change without notice (5 of 20). A processor list with purposes, hosting on Fly.io in Virginia and Crunchy Bridge on AWS us-east, but no locations per processor (15 of 20). 15 + 22 + 5 + 15 = 57.

Fix list, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (17 items). What it covers is at https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/savvycal.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/savvycal.json). The whole list for a coding agent comes from `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/fix-list` with `{"listing": "savvycal", "plan": "read"}`, free while the beta runs

### What we couldn't check

- unchecked: the MCP tool definitions, annotations and any read-only subset, which need an OAuth sign-in. Tool counts come from the docs
- Whether a general rate limit applies to the REST API beyond the 10-a-minute booking cap in the spec
- Whether personal access tokens expire or can be scoped. The docs describe only creating and naming them
- firstReleased is null. The company page and the TinySeed announcement of September 2019 show the product existed then, but no first-hand release date was found
- The terms forbid automated and non-human access to the site and bot or scraper use. Public pages were read; robots.txt allows everything but /events/ and sets Content-Signal ai-train=no, both recorded as facts
- No official X, LinkedIn or GitHub account for the company was found on savvycal.com

The terms (last updated 21 January 2026) name SavvyCal, Inc. under Minnesota law with AAA arbitration. They forbid access through automated or non-human means and the use of bots, scrapers or data-extraction tools, and do not mention the API, which the separate developer docs cover. Recorded as a fact; the public pages were read.

savvycal.com/robots.txt disallows /events/ for every crawler, names ClaudeBot and anthropic-ai among twelve AI crawlers with the same rule, and sets Content-Signal ai-train=no, search=yes, ai-input=yes. docs.savvycal.com allows all with ai-train=yes. Nothing under /events/ was fetched.

The privacy policy (17 October 2026) names SavvyCal, Inc., US servers, Stripe, OpenAI for advertising measurement, and a DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses. The DPA page is dated 16 January 2023.

RDAP gives savvycal.com a registration date of 12 August 2020.

security.txt at savvycal.com/.well-known/security.txt names security@savvycal.com, expires 2 May 2027 and points to savvycal.com/security.

## Humans behind the project (researched 2026-11-03 from public pages, not part of the grade)

### Key people

- Derrick Reimer, Founder
- Jesse Leite, Engineering
- Reggie Rendal, Support
- Stephen Lovino, Support
- Note: The company page (savvycal.com/company, read 3 November 2026) names Derrick Reimer as founder, who previously co-founded Drip, and lists Jesse Leite (engineering), Reggie Rendal and Stephen Lovino (support). It links only Reimer's personal site, derrickreimer.com, which carries no LinkedIn, X or GitHub link, so none is recorded. The page calls SavvyCal an indie SaaS business with a little financial backing from TinySeed and a few angel investors, independent by choice. TinySeed's own announcement of September 2019 names SavvyCal in its first accelerator batch. The angels are not named on any first-hand page, and no funding amount was found on savvycal.com, tinyseed.com or the company page. No company X, LinkedIn or GitHub account appears on savvycal.com.

## Strengths

- OpenAPI 3.0.0 spec at api.savvycal.com/v1/spec, llms.txt and a Markdown twin of every docs page
- Hosted MCP server with OAuth 2.1, PKCE, dynamic client registration and `mcp:read` and `mcp:write` scopes, included on every plan
- Webhooks signed with HMAC-SHA256, retried up to 20 times with exponential backoff, over 16 event types
- Status page with calendar connection components and no notices from June to November 2026
- The MCP docs say the assistant asks for confirmation before cancelling meetings, deleting links or inviting teammates

## Weaknesses

- No general rate limit documented. The spec names one 429, on creating events (10 a minute per link)
- No idempotency keys, Retry-After header or official SDK
- No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification and no bug bounty, per the security page
- OAuth apps and personal access tokens carry no scopes, so a REST token reaches everything the user can
- Only one dated product update in the 90 days to 3 November 2026, and no API changelog



## Before you call it (notes for agents)

1. Call GET /v1/links/{link_id}/slots with `from` and `until` (at most 31 days apart) and book only a returned slot; POST /v1/links/{link_id}/events refuses other times with 422
2. Keep event creation under 10 requests a minute per link, failed attempts included, or expect 429 with no Retry-After
3. Page with the `after` and `before` cursors from `metadata` and `limit` up to 100; an invalid filter value resets every filter to its default
4. Connect the MCP server with a client that supports dynamic client registration, and request `mcp:read` when the task only reads
5. Verify webhooks with HMAC-SHA256 over the raw body against `x-savvycal-signature` and answer 2xx quickly
