Reviewer Notes

Cronofy offers a solid REST API with OpenAPI documentation and a free sandbox environment, making it discoverable and testable for agents. However, the lack of an MCP server and requirement for OAuth2 flows during account setup create friction—agents cannot fully self-onboard without user interaction. The API tooling is well-structured with good error handling and calendar abstraction across providers, but the OAuth requirement for production use and absence of llms.txt limit autonomous agent adoption. Free tier and sandbox are genuine strengths for experimentation.
