A desk booking API for the systems you already run.

The Officely API lets IT teams and developers book desks, rooms and parking, manage people and places, and act on what your badge system, Wi-Fi, sensors and HR tools see. The MCP server lets an AI agent read and book as the person signed in.

  • 35 ready-made integrations
  • HTTP API and MCP server
  • Tokens with only the access you grant
  • Booking in Microsoft Teams and the web

Use what's ready. Build what isn't.

Most teams start with the ready-made integrations. When your office runs on something they don't cover, the API fills the gap.

The Officely API

For badge systems, Wi-Fi, sensors, leave tools and the workflows only your business has.

  • Book desks, rooms and parking for anyone
  • Check what someone can book before they book it
  • Approve or reject booking requests
  • Run your own code when something changes
  • Read the full history of a booking or person
  • Export attendance, work status and directory data
  • Connect an AI agent through the MCP server
Explore the API docs

Let an AI agent book, as the person signed in.

Connect an agent to the Officely MCP server and it can look up how Officely works, check live data and make a booking, with the same rules as everyone else.

MCP server addresshttps://officely.app/mcp
Read the MCP setup guide
  • Acts as the person signed inIt works in that person's account. Code can't switch to another account or person.
  • Reads and booksTools to search and read the docs, and run code that reads live data or makes changes.
  • Your booking rules still applyWhen Officely refuses a booking, the agent gets the reason back as an error.
  • A closed sandboxCode the agent runs has no imports, network access or credentials.

Before you connect

  • Your agent's client must send a signed-in Officely person session with each request.
  • There is no MCP OAuth sign-in yet. Account API Tokens work with the HTTP API, not the MCP server.
  • Codex and Claude plugins are coming soon.

What teams build with the API.

Pick a workflow to see what it does. Each one runs on the same bookings and rules your people use in Teams and the web.

Check people in when they really arrive.

Your badge system or Wi-Fi tells Officely someone arrived. An automation finds their booking for today and checks it in, so attendance shows who actually came.

  • Record a badge scan or a laptop joining Wi-Fi
  • An automation checks in today's booking
  • Read each run's status and logs
