Build on Bella — API & MCP
Connect Bella to your own systems and AI assistants. Programmatic access to your appointments, clients, sales and reports — plus a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so tools like Claude and ChatGPT can work with your business data in plain language.
What is the Bella API and MCP server?
Bella Booking offers a REST API and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that give your business programmatic access to its booking data — appointments, availability, clients, sales, services, team and reports. The same MCP that powers Bella AI lets AI assistants and agents work with your data in natural language. Access is set up per account.
Bella gives your business programmatic access to its own booking data, and an MCP server so AI tools can work with that data in natural language. Access is managed: tell us what you are building and we enable scoped access for your account — an API key, an MCP connection, or both, limited to your business. There is no self-serve developer signup, and that is deliberate — it means every integration is set up correctly and stays isolated to your data.

Frequently asked questions
Does Bella have an API?
Yes. Bella offers a REST API that gives your business programmatic access to its booking data — appointments, availability, clients, sales, services, team and reports. Access is set up per account: tell us your use case and we enable scoped access for your business.
Do you support MCP / AI agents?
Yes. Bella is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the same MCP server that powers Bella AI. We can enable an MCP connection for your account so AI assistants and agents like Claude and ChatGPT can work with your business data in natural language. It is managed access, set up for your business, not a one-click public connector.
Which plans include API and MCP access?
API and MCP access is available on the Professional plan, or by arrangement for larger and multi-location accounts. Tell us what you need and we will confirm the right setup for your business.
How do I get access?
Talk to our team and tell us what you are building. We enable scoped access for your account — an API key, an MCP connection, or both — limited to your business.
Is it read-only?
The AI assistant is read-only by default — it answers questions about your data rather than changing it. Selected actions can be enabled on request as part of setting up access for your account.
Is my data isolated?
Yes. Access is scoped per business, so an integration or AI connection only ever reaches your own data — never another business.
