AI Agents & API — overview
GarageAgent lets you connect your own AI assistant to your garage, so you can manage it in plain language:
"What's on today?" "Am I free Thursday afternoon for an MOT?" "Show me this week's cancelled bookings."
Your assistant answers by securely reading your garage's live data.
How it works
There are two ways to connect:
- MCP (recommended) — the GarageAgent MCP server plugs into MCP-compatible assistants like Claude Desktop. You give it an API key once; your assistant then has tools to read your schedule, bookings, availability, and services. See Connecting Claude (MCP).
- REST API — call the agent endpoints directly from your own code or automation. See the API reference.
Both use the same API key and the same read-only access.
What an assistant can do today
Current access is read-only — your assistant can answer questions about your garage but cannot create or change bookings. Available tools:
- Today's schedule — bookings for today in your timezone.
- List bookings — filter by date range and status.
- Check availability — open slots for a date, sized to a service.
- List services — your services, durations, and prices.
- Get a booking — full detail by its reference.
Write actions (creating, rescheduling, cancelling by assistant) are on the roadmap and will be opt-in.
Requirements
- A Pro or Growth plan.
- An API key, generated from Dashboard → Developers.
Preview: agent access is new. We'd love your feedback on which tools would help most.
