CalendarBridge MCP

Bring Your Own AI Agent (MCP)

Connect your own AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients — directly to your CalendarBridge account. Your agent can read and manage your calendars, events, schedulers, and syncs on your behalf, with permissions you control.

Bring Your Own Agent uses MCP (the Model Context Protocol) — an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to outside tools. CalendarBridge runs a hosted MCP server, so any MCP-capable client can connect to your account and act on your calendars for you.

This is different from the CalendarBridge AI Scheduling Assistant, which schedules over email. With Bring Your Own Agent, you bring the AI (the one you already use and pay for) and point it at CalendarBridge.

Manage your calendars with the CalendarBridge MCP server

The CalendarBridge MCP server turns your AI assistant into a calendar manager. Once you connect an agent, you can manage your calendars in plain language — check your schedule, create and reschedule events, build booking links, and set up calendar syncs — across Google Calendar, Microsoft 365 / Outlook, and iCloud, all through a single Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint.

Instead of clicking through a dashboard, you tell your agent what you want and it uses CalendarBridge's MCP tools to do it — AI calendar management that works with the assistant you already use.

What your agent can do

Once connected, your agent can:

• Calendars & events — list your calendars, read events for any date range, and create, edit, or delete events.
• Schedulers — list, create, edit, and delete your schedulers.
• Syncs — list, create, edit, and delete one-way or two-way calendar syncs.
• Connected accounts — list your connected calendar accounts and get links to connect, re-authenticate, or remove an account.
• AI assistant — list your AI Scheduling Assistant configurations, review recent conversations, and send a new message or reply through your assistant.

Each action your agent takes is limited to the permissions you grant when you connect (see Choose permissions).

Availability & plans

info

Connecting an agent is available on every plan, including Basic — there is no token to buy and nothing to copy. Performing actions through your agent (reading or changing calendars, creating syncs, and so on) requires an active CalendarBridge subscription. If your subscription lapses, your agent stays connected but each action returns a message asking you to reactivate.

Step 1: Open the Bring Your Own Agent (MCP) tab

Sign in at https://app.calendarbridge.com/login/, open AI Assistant from the side rail, and select the Bring Your Own Agent (MCP) tab.

Step 2: Copy your server URL

The tab shows your CalendarBridge Server URL. It looks like:

https://manageapi.calendarbridge.com/mcp

This single URL is all your client needs. There is no API key or token to copy — your client signs you in with a secure browser login when it connects (see Choose permissions).

Step 3: Add CalendarBridge to your client

Each client adds a remote MCP server a little differently. The tab includes step-by-step instructions for the client you pick; the most common ones are below. Use the Server URL from Step 2 wherever a URL is requested.

Client	How to add it
Claude.ai (web)	Settings → Connectors → the + → Add custom connector. Enter a name and paste the Server URL, then click Add.
Claude Desktop	Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Enter a name and paste the Server URL.
Claude Code	Run claude mcp add calendarbridge --transport http , then type /mcp and authenticate.
ChatGPT	Enable Developer Mode, then Settings → Connectors, create a new connector, and paste the Server URL.
Cursor	Settings → Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP, add a new MCP server with the Server URL, then click Connect.
Codex CLI	Run codex mcp add calendarbridge --url , then type /mcp and select calendarbridge.
Grok	Start a chat and click the + → Add connector → Custom. Paste the Server URL and authorize.
Gemini CLI	Run gemini mcp add --transport http calendarbridge , then sign in when Gemini CLI detects the OAuth server (or run gemini mcp auth calendarbridge).
Antigravity IDE	In the agent panel: ⋯ → MCP Servers → Manage MCP Servers → View raw config. Add an entry under mcpServers with "serverUrl" set to the Server URL (Antigravity uses serverUrl, not url), save, and refresh.
OpenClaw	Run openclaw mcp add calendarbridge --url --transport streamable-http, then openclaw mcp login calendarbridge and approve access in the browser.
Hermes	Run hermes mcp add calendarbridge (or add the server under mcp_servers in ~/.hermes/config.yaml with auth: oauth), then hermes mcp login calendarbridge and approve.
Any other client	Add a custom or remote MCP server (sometimes called a connector, integration, or tool server): paste the Server URL, choose the HTTP / streamable HTTP transport if asked, and pick OAuth / Sign in for auth — there's no API key, client ID, or secret to enter.

However you add it, the flow is the same — paste the Server URL, sign in to CalendarBridge in the browser, and choose what to allow.

Step 4: Sign in and choose permissions

The first time your client connects, it opens a CalendarBridge sign-in page in your browser. After you sign in, you'll see a consent screen listing the permissions the agent is requesting. Check only the ones you want to grant, then click Allow.

Permission	What it allows
Read your calendar events	List your calendars and read events on them.
Create, edit, and delete calendar events	Create, edit, and delete events on your calendars.
Read your connected accounts	List your connected calendar accounts.
Connect and remove accounts	Get links to connect or re-authenticate accounts, and remove connected accounts.
Read your schedulers	List your schedulers.
Create, edit, and delete schedulers	Create, edit, and delete your schedulers.
Read your calendar syncs	List your calendar syncs.
Create, edit, and delete calendar syncs	Create, edit, and delete your calendar syncs.
Read your assistants	List your assistant configurations and conversations.
Create and modify assistants	Create, edit, and delete your assistant configurations.
Send messages through your assistants	Let the agent send new messages and replies through your AI scheduling assistant.

Permissions are enforced on every request: an agent can only use the tools you allowed. You can connect more than one agent and grant each a different set of permissions.

Step 5: Try it out

Once connected, ask your agent things like:

• “What's on my calendar this week?”
• “Schedule a 1-hour meeting called Design review tomorrow at 2pm and invite alex@example.com.”
• “Move my 3pm meeting today to 4pm.”
• “Create a 30-minute scheduler available weekday afternoons and give me the link.”
• “Set up a one-way sync from my work calendar to my personal calendar, showing events as busy.”
• “List my connected accounts and tell me if any need re-authentication.”

Working with your AI Scheduling Assistant

If you’ve set up the CalendarBridge AI Scheduling Assistant, your connected agent can drive it for you — either starting a new scheduling email or replying within an existing conversation.

• Start a new request — e.g. “Ask my assistant to find a 30-minute slot with alex@example.com next week.” Your agent sends the email through your assistant, which takes it from there.
• Reply to a conversation — e.g. “Reply to my latest assistant conversation and propose Thursday at 10am.” Your agent pulls the thread, infers the recipients and subject, and sends your reply.

schedule

The assistant works asynchronously, just like over email: sending a message hands it off, and the assistant’s reply arrives a little later. Ask your agent to check your conversations again to see the response.

This needs an assistant configured for one of your connected email accounts and the Send through your assistants permission. If you connected your agent before this permission existed, reconnect it and grant the permission on the consent screen.

Manage connected agents

The Connected agents section of the tab lists every agent that has connected, the permissions it was granted, and when it was last used. To disconnect an agent, click Revoke — it loses access immediately. Re-connecting from the client will prompt for sign-in and permissions again.

Security & privacy

• Connections use the standard OAuth 2.1 sign-in flow with PKCE — there is no long-lived key to copy, leak, or paste into a config file.
• Every connection is scoped to the permissions you grant and revocable at any time from the Connected agents list.
• Your agent acts as you, within those permissions only. It cannot see other CalendarBridge accounts.

Troubleshooting

• “Subscription is not active” — connecting is free, but performing actions requires an active subscription. Reactivate at app.calendarbridge.com and try again. See My account is paid but it is not active.
• The agent can't find an event to edit — ask it to list events first, then act on one from that list.
• A calendar account needs re-authentication — your agent can return a link, or see Reauthorizing calendar access.
• The client won't connect — make sure you pasted the full Server URL exactly as shown on the tab, including https://.
