Connect Bookable to ChatGPT with MCP
Connect your Bookable workspace to ChatGPT with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This guide explains what the connection can access, which ChatGPT plans support it, and how to keep each action under your review.
What can Bookable do through ChatGPT?
Depending on the permissions you grant, ChatGPT can read business and service information, check availability, and help you review your schedule. By default, client identities and waitlist entries are not included. Client data, analytics, payments, messages, and actions that change data each require separate optional permissions.
You can start with read-only access and enable only the additional scopes you need. Bookable prepares supported actions for your review; it does not save an appointment or change your settings until you approve the exact preview in Bookable.
How to connect Bookable to ChatGPT
- Use Bookable on an active paid plan and sign in as a business owner.
- In ChatGPT on the web, add Bookable as a custom MCP server using
https://app.bookable.live/mcp. - Complete the sign-in and consent flow in Bookable. Choose the business you want to connect, start with read-only access, and review each optional permission before enabling it.
- Ask ChatGPT about your services, available times, or schedule. If you later enable an action, review its exact details and approve it in Bookable.
Which ChatGPT plan supports each action?
Bookable's MCP connection is included with all paid Bookable plans. ChatGPT Pro supports custom MCP connections for read and fetch access. To use actions that create or change Bookable data, OpenAI currently requires an eligible ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, or Edu workspace. Workspace administrators can also restrict custom apps and available actions.
ChatGPT plan features and setup screens can change. See OpenAI's current guide to connecting custom MCP servers for the latest requirements.
Choose permissions carefully
The information returned to ChatGPT depends on the permissions you select and the questions you ask. Start with the smallest access level that meets your needs. Client information and message history are optional and should be enabled only when you need them. The AI service you connect processes information you enter and the results Bookable returns, under its own privacy and data-retention terms.
For booking, schedule, or profile changes, check the exact preview shown in Bookable before approving. You can reduce permissions or revoke the connection from Bookable settings.
