Usage

Once configured, Claude will have access to the following tools:

List Calendar Events

list_events - startDate: Start date in MM/DD/YYYY format - endDate: End date in MM/DD/YYYY format (optional) - calendar: Calendar name (optional)

Example: "List my calendar events for next week"

Create Calendar Event

create_event - subject: Event subject/title - startDate: Start date in MM/DD/YYYY format - startTime: Start time in HH:MM AM/PM format - endDate: End date in MM/DD/YYYY format (optional) - endTime: End time in HH:MM AM/PM format (optional) - location: Event location (optional) - body: Event description (optional) - isMeeting: Whether this is a meeting with attendees (optional) - attendees: Semicolon-separated list of attendee email addresses (optional) - calendar: Calendar name (optional)

Example: "Add a meeting with John about the project proposal on Friday at 2 PM"

Find Free Time Slots

find_free_slots - startDate: Start date in MM/DD/YYYY format - endDate: End date in MM/DD/YYYY format (optional) - duration: Duration in minutes (optional) - workDayStart: Work day start hour (0-23) (optional) - workDayEnd: Work day end hour (0-23) (optional) - calendar: Calendar name (optional)

Example: "When am I free for a 1-hour meeting this week?"

Get Attendee Status

get_attendee_status - eventId: Event ID - calendar: Calendar name (optional)

Example: "Who hasn't responded to my team meeting invitation?"

Important Note: When using operations that require an event ID (update_event, delete_event, get_attendee_status), you must use the id field from the list_events response. This is the unique EntryID that Outlook uses to identify events.

Update Calendar Event

update_event - eventId: Event ID to update - subject: New event subject/title (optional) - startDate: New start date in MM/DD/YYYY format (optional) - startTime: New start time in HH:MM AM/PM format (optional) - endDate: New end date in MM/DD/YYYY format (optional) - endTime: New end time in HH:MM AM/PM format (optional) - location: New event location (optional) - body: New event description (optional) - calendar: Calendar name (optional)

Example: "Update my team meeting tomorrow to start at 3 PM instead of 2 PM"

Get Calendars

get_calendars

Example: "Show me my available calendars"

Security Notes

  • On first use, Outlook may display security prompts to allow script access
  • The tool only accesses your local Outlook client and does not send calendar data to external servers
  • All calendar operations are performed locally on your computer

Troubleshooting

  • Outlook Security Prompts: If you see security prompts from Outlook, you need to allow the script to access your Outlook data
  • Script Execution Policy: If you encounter script execution errors, you may need to adjust your PowerShell execution policy
  • Path Issues: Ensure the path in your MCP configuration file points to the correct location of the tool
