Google Calendar MCP.
Run your own server, or connect one URL.

A Google Calendar MCP server lets Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other AI agents read your schedule and act on it — create events, invite people, RSVP. Here's the honest version of both routes: the self-hosted setup, step by step, and the hosted one that takes a minute.

Get started

Option 1: Self-hosted, step by step

The open-source route gives you full control and keeps credentials on your machine. It requires a Google Cloud project and about twenty minutes the first time. Google also offers an official remote Calendar MCP server for Workspace developers — same Google Cloud prerequisites apply.

  1. 1
    Create a Google Cloud project
    Sign in to the Google Cloud console, create a project, and enable the Google Calendar API under APIs & Services.
  2. 2
    Configure the OAuth consent screen
    Set up the consent screen, add the calendar scopes, and add your own Google account as a test user.
  3. 3
    Create OAuth credentials
    Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID (Desktop type) and download the credentials JSON file to your machine.
  4. 4
    Install and run a server
    Pick an open-source implementation — nspady/google-calendar-mcp on GitHub is the most established — point it at your credentials file, and run it locally.
  5. 5
    Add it to your client and authorize
    Register the server in Claude Desktop's config file or via the Claude Code CLI, restart, and complete the Google authorization in your browser.
  6. 6
    Re-authorize weekly (testing mode)
    While your consent screen is in testing mode, Google expires tokens after 7 days. Publish the app — with Google's verification process — to make sign-in stick.

Option 2: Hosted, two steps

The hosted route runs through Amie — an Amie account is what holds the Google connection your agent talks to. In exchange: no Google Cloud console, no credentials file, no weekly re-authorization, and todos plus meeting notes come through the same connection.

  1. 1
    Get Amie and connect Google Calendar
    Sign up for Amie and connect your Google account — calendars sync right away, and you can connect work and personal accounts side by side.
  2. 2
    Add the server to your agent
    Paste this URL into your MCP client (in Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector) and approve the sign-in prompt.
    https://mcp.amie.so

That's the whole setup. Client-specific instructions — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor — plus the full tool list and permissions are on the Amie MCP server page.

What it unlocks

“What's on my calendar this week?”
“Find a free 30-minute slot on Thursday and book a call with alex@example.com.”
“Move my 2pm to Friday morning and let the attendees know.”
“RSVP no to everything on Friday afternoon.”

The agent checks real availability, resolves names to actual contacts, and controls whether attendees get emailed — the difference between a calendar integration and a calendar that works for you.
