Calendly MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for integrating with the Calendly API. This server provides tools to interact with Calendly's scheduling platform, allowing you to retrieve user information, list events, manage invitees, cancel events, and schedule meetings directly via the new Scheduling API.

Features

Core Calendly Integration

User Information: Get current authenticated user details
Event Management: List, retrieve, and cancel scheduled events
Invitee Management: List and manage event invitees
Organization: List organization memberships

NEW: Scheduling API Integration

Direct Meeting Scheduling: Book meetings programmatically without redirects
Event Type Discovery: List available event types for scheduling
Real-Time Availability: Check available time slots for any event type
Complete Booking Flow: End-to-end scheduling with calendar sync and notifications
Location Support: Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, physical locations, and custom options

Installation

Option 1: NPX (Recommended)

Run directly without installation:

bash

npx calendly-mcp-server

Option 2: Manual Installation

1. Clone this repository:

bash

git clone https://github.com/meAmitPatil/calendly-mcp-server.git
cd calendly-mcp-server

2. Install dependencies:

bash

npm install

3. Build the project:

bash

npm run build

Configuration

Authentication

This server supports two authentication methods:

Option 1: Personal Access Token (PAT)

For internal applications or personal use:

1. Get your Personal Access Token from your Calendly Integrations page

2. Select API and webhooks → Get a token now

3. Set the environment variable:

bash

export CALENDLY_API_KEY="your_personal_access_token_here"

Option 2: OAuth 2.0

For public applications that multiple users will use:

1. Create a developer account at developer.calendly.com

2. Create an OAuth application to get your client credentials

3. Set the environment variables:

bash

export CALENDLY_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id_here"
export CALENDLY_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret_here"

4. Optionally, if you already have tokens:

bash

export CALENDLY_ACCESS_TOKEN="your_access_token_here"
export CALENDLY_REFRESH_TOKEN="your_refresh_token_here"

Optional User Context (Recommended)

For better performance and automatic defaults, you can set user-specific URIs:

bash

export CALENDLY_USER_URI="https://api.calendly.com/users/your_user_id"
export CALENDLY_ORGANIZATION_URI="https://api.calendly.com/organizations/your_org_id"

These can be obtained by running `get_current_user` after authentication. When set, the server will automatically use these as defaults for API calls that require user context.

MCP Configuration

Add the server to your MCP client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop):

Option 1: Using NPX (Recommended)

For Personal Access Token:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "calendly": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["calendly-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "CALENDLY_API_KEY": "your_personal_access_token_here",
        "CALENDLY_USER_URI": "https://api.calendly.com/users/your_user_id",
        "CALENDLY_ORGANIZATION_URI": "https://api.calendly.com/organizations/your_org_id"
      }
    }
  }
}

For OAuth 2.0:

json

Usage Examples

Once configured with your MCP client, you can use these tools:

Live Demo

Here's the MCP server in action with Claude Desktop:

*Example: User asks "Show me my Calendly events" and gets formatted event details including date, time, duration, location, and invitee information.*

OAuth Flow Examples:

code

# Generate OAuth URL
get_oauth_url redirect_uri="https://myapp.com/auth/callback"

# Exchange code for tokens (after user authorizes)
exchange_code_for_tokens code="AUTHORIZATION_CODE" redirect_uri="https://myapp.com/auth/callback"

# Refresh access token
refresh_access_token refresh_token="REFRESH_TOKEN"

API Examples:

code

# Get current user information
get_current_user

# List recent events
list_events count=10

# Get specific event details
get_event event_uuid="EVENT_UUID_HERE"

# List invitees for an event
list_event_invitees event_uuid="EVENT_UUID_HERE"

# Cancel an event
cancel_event event_uuid="EVENT_UUID_HERE" reason="Meeting no longer needed"

Scheduling API Examples:

code

# List available event types
list_event_types

# Check availability for a specific event type
get_event_type_availability event_type="https://api.calendly.com/event_types/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

# Schedule a meeting (requires paid plan)
schedule_event event_type="https://api.calendly.com/event_types/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" start_time="2025-10-21T19:00:00Z" invitee_email="client@company.com" invitee_name="John Smith" invitee_timezone="America/New_York" location_kind="zoom_conference"

🎯 Claude Desktop Examples:

code

# Natural language commands that work in Claude Desktop:
"Show me my event types"
"Check availability for my 30-minute consultation next week"
"Schedule a meeting with john@company.com for tomorrow at 2 PM"
"Book a client onboarding call for Friday"

API Limitations

Scheduling API: Requires paid Calendly plan (Standard or higher)
Event Rescheduling: Not supported via API (only cancellation)
Event Type Creation: Cannot create new event types via API
Rate Limits: Standard Calendly API rate limits apply

Troubleshooting

NPX Issues

"command not found: npx": Install Node.js 18+ which includes npx
NPX downloads every time: This is normal behavior; NPX caches packages for faster subsequent runs
Permission errors: Ensure you have write access to npm cache directory (`npm config get cache`)
Network issues: Use `npx --offline calendly-mcp-server` to use cached version

Authentication Issues

"No authentication token available": Set `CALENDLY_API_KEY` environment variable
400 errors on `list_events`: Set `CALENDLY_USER_URI` environment variable or provide `user_uri` parameter
Permission errors: Ensure API key has correct permissions

Scheduling API Issues

403 Forbidden on `schedule_event`: Requires paid Calendly plan (Standard or higher)
400 Bad Request: Check that event_type URI is valid and start_time is in correct UTC format
Invalid time slot: Use `get_event_type_availability` to verify the time slot is available

General Issues

TypeScript errors: Ensure Node.js version 18+ is installed
Module not found: Run `npm run build` if using local installation
