How to do it yourself
Our suggested steps. The company didn't publish theirs.
- 1
Write down 3 actions an AI assistant should do with your business: check availability, place order, check status.
- 2
Open Claude Code and run the prompt below to scaffold an MCP server.
- 3
Connect it to your system's API (Square, Shopify, booking tool) with test keys.
- 4
Test it in Claude Desktop.
- 5
Publish docs on your site so AI assistants can find it.
The instructions to give the AI
Paste this into Claude Code (the free plan is fine), swap the [brackets] for your details, and test it on a few real examples.
This is one part of the setup. It won't connect to your phone, inbox or other apps on its own; the steps above cover that.
Agent instructions (prompt)
Build an MCP server in TypeScript for [business]. Tools: check_availability(date, party_size), create_booking(name, phone, date, time, party_size), get_booking(id). Use [Square/Shopify/booking API] with keys from env vars. Include input validation, clear errors, a README and tests. Ask before using live keys.
[Highlighted] = replace with your own details before you run it.
What you should get back: Working TypeScript for an MCP server with booking tools you can plug into an AI assistant.
Written by Quickly and Good, inspired by this case.
