Shipping an MCP server for local services

A walkthrough of the tools we expose and how agents call them.

AI agents can already discover a local business in seconds, but turning that intent into a confirmed appointment still falls back to a phone call or a brittle scrape. BookRails closes that gap with one machine-readable contract for availability, pricing, policy, and booking.
