Connect Claude to Google Calendar

Official Integration

The Google Calendar MCP integration lets Claude see your schedule, create events, and help you manage your time. Ask Claude what's on your calendar tomorrow, find time for a meeting, or automatically schedule follow-ups based on your email conversations.

What You Can Do

View Your Schedule

Check what's on your calendar for any day, week, or time range. Get a quick overview without opening the app.

Create Events

Schedule meetings, appointments, and reminders through natural language commands.

Find Free Time

Ask Claude to identify open slots in your schedule for new meetings.

Analyze Your Time

Understand how you spend your time - meeting load, focus time, patterns.

Example Commands

Basic

"What meetings do I have today?"
"Show me my schedule for next week"
"Do I have anything at 3pm tomorrow?"

Intermediate

"Create a meeting called 'Team Standup' for tomorrow at 9am, 30 minutes"
"When is my next free hour this week?"
"Find all meetings with Sarah in the next 2 weeks"

Advanced

"Look at my calendar for next week and tell me which days are too meeting-heavy for deep work"
"Check my email for meeting requests and add them to my calendar"
"I need a 2-hour focus block this week - when could I schedule it without conflicts?"

Security & Privacy

Important: Calendar events often reveal sensitive information. Consider using a work-specific calendar integration rather than a personal calendar with private events.

Claude sees events on calendars you authorize. You control read-only vs. read-write access. Event details (titles, attendees, locations) are visible to Claude.
