## Book with an AI assistant (MCP)

runs a public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Add it as a connector, then
just ask to see availability and book — the assistant returns a secure Stripe
Checkout link to confirm and pay.

  - `check-studio-availability` — open time slots for a date range (Europe/Lisbon).
  - `create-studio-booking-checkout` — creates the booking and returns a Stripe
    Checkout link. The booking is confirmed only after payment; a confirmation
    email with a calendar invite is sent automatically.
