Google Calendar Lib

A Google Calendar MCP server written in TypeScript. Can be run as a stdio MCP server or used directly as a library with imported functions.

Tools

All tools are prefixed with googleCalendar:

Authentication

Every tool accepts optional auth parameters. If not provided, the server falls back to environment variables.

Only accessToken is required. clientId and clientSecret are needed only if you want the client to auto-refresh expired tokens using the refreshToken.

To obtain credentials, create an OAuth 2.0 client in the Google Cloud Console with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar scope.

Usage

As an MCP stdio server

Build and run:

npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js

Or during development:

npm run dev

Claude Desktop configuration

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-calendar": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "ya29.xxx",
        "GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN": "1//xxx",
        "GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID": "xxx.apps.googleusercontent.com",
        "GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET": "xxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

As a library

Import and call functions directly, passing credentials per-call:

import {
  googleCalendarListEvents,
  googleCalendarCreateEvent,
  googleCalendarDeleteEvent,
} from "./dist/api.js";

// List upcoming events
const events = await googleCalendarListEvents({
  accessToken: "ya29.xxx",
  calendarId: "primary",
  timeMin: new Date().toISOString(),
  maxResults: 10,
});

// Create an event
const event = await googleCalendarCreateEvent({
  accessToken: "ya29.xxx",
  summary: "Team standup",
  start: { dateTime: "2026-03-10T09:00:00-08:00", timeZone: "America/Los_Angeles" },
  end:   { dateTime: "2026-03-10T09:30:00-08:00", timeZone: "America/Los_Angeles" },
  attendees: [{ email: "[email protected]" }],
  sendUpdates: "all",
});

// Delete it
await googleCalendarDeleteEvent({
  accessToken: "ya29.xxx",
  eventId: event.id,
});

Or rely on environment variables and omit auth params entirely:

export GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN=ya29.xxx

const calendars = await googleCalendarListCalendars({});

Development

npm install          # install dependencies
npm run build        # compile TypeScript → dist/
npm run dev          # run stdio server with tsx (no build step)
