Install

Two ways to run this server — pick the one that fits.

Option 1 — Hosted (zero setup)

No local runtime, no env vars on your machine — secrets are AES-256-GCM encrypted server-side via HashiCorp Vault.

1. Sign up at aiwerkmcp.com.

2. Install Cal.com from the catalog and paste your CAL_API_KEY.

3. Point your MCP client (Claude.ai, Cursor, Hermes, …) at your hosted endpoint:

   https://bridge.aiwerk.ch/u/<your-user-id>/mcp

   with your Bearer token.

All 12 tools, 3 resources, and 3 prompts appear. Install other AIWerk recipes from the same bridge.

Option 2 — Self-hosted (npx)

Run directly — you manage the API key:

CAL_API_KEY=cal_live_your_api_key_here npx @aiwerk/mcp-server-cal

Or wire it into your MCP client config — see Configuration below.

Tools

Resources

Resources are automatically available in the AI's context — no need to ask for them.

Prompts

Ready-made prompt templates for common scheduling tasks.

Configuration

Claude Desktop

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@aiwerk/mcp-server-cal"],
      "env": {
        "CAL_API_KEY": "cal_live_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project or ~/.cursor/mcp.json globally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@aiwerk/mcp-server-cal"],
      "env": {
        "CAL_API_KEY": "cal_live_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

OpenClaw / Universal Recipe

{
  "name": "cal",
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["@aiwerk/mcp-server-cal"],
  "env": {
    "CAL_API_KEY": "${CAL_API_KEY}"
  }
}

Environment Variables

The server starts and responds to tools/list without CAL_API_KEY. The key is only required when an actual tool is called (lazy credentials pattern).

Getting Your API Key

1. Go to Cal.com Settings

2. Create a new API key

3. Copy the key (starts with cal_live_ for production)

Security

• Never commit your API key to version control

• Use environment variables or a secrets manager

• The server only reads CAL_API_KEY at tool call time, never logs it
