Meeting Scheduling Automation with MCP

Feb 1, 20265 min read

Meetings aren't the problem. It's everything around them—the prep, the scheduling back-and-forth, the follow-ups that never happen. These workflows automate the busywork so you can focus on the meetings themselves. From prep to follow-up, we've got you covered.

What You Need

Workflow 1: The Daily Schedule Briefing

You check your calendar, see 6 meetings, but don't actually know what each one needs from you. This prompt gives you a "Chief of Staff" style briefing.

The Prompt

Review my calendar for today. For each meeting: 1. Meeting name and time 2. Who's attending (and their role if known) 3. What's this meeting likely about? (Check recent emails with attendees) 4. Do I need to prepare anything? 5. Any relevant documents in my Drive? Format as a briefing I can review in 5 minutes over coffee.

Workflow 2: The Time Finder

Finding a slot that works for 5 people is a nightmare. Instead of playing Tetris manually, let Claude analyze the slots.

The Prompt

I need to schedule a 45-minute syncing meeting with [Person A] and [Person B] sometime next week. 1. Look at my calendar for open slots between 9am and 5pm. 2. (Optional: "Check my email for their stated availability") 3. Propose 3 options that minimize conflict with my "Deep Work" blocks. 4. Draft an email to them proposing these times.

Note: Claude can currently only see your calendar details fully. It can't see others' free/busy status unless you have that data synced or pasted into context.

Workflow 3: Intelligent Meeting Prep

Walking into a client meeting and forgetting exactly what you promised last time is painful. This workflow builds your "cheat sheet."

The Prompt

I have a meeting with [Client Name] about "[Project X]" at 2pm. Please prepare me: 1. Summarize the last 3 emails exchanged with them. 2. Find the latest PDF proposal in my Drive related to this project. 3. List any "Outstanding Action Items" I promised them. 4. Suggest 3 talking points to move the project forward.

Workflow 4: The "Running Late" Triage

When your current meeting runs over, the domino effect ruins your day. Fix it fast.

The Prompt

I'm running 15 minutes late for my next meeting. 1. Check who I am meeting with next. 2. Draft a polite Slack DM or Email (depending on if they are internal/external) letting them know. 3. Check if this delay conflicts with the meeting *after* that one, and flag if I need to reschedule.

Workflow 5: Instant Follow-Ups

The meeting is done. You have messy notes. You need to send a summary. Usually, this takes 20 minutes. Now it takes 2.

The Prompt

Here are my raw notes from the meeting with [Company]: [PASTE NOTES] 1. Clean this into a professional Minutes of Meeting summary. 2. Extract the Action Items table (Who, What, When). 3. Draft a follow-up email to the attendees thanking them and including the summary. 4. (Optional) Create a CSV format of the tasks so I can import to Asana.
