kelly

Your calendar in Claude's context — a local MCP server for CalDAV.

Status: working prototype

What it does

Kelly gives Claude read access to your CalDAV calendar so it can help you plan your day, check for conflicts, summarize your week, or answer questions about your schedule — without you copy-pasting events.

  • Runs locally on your machine — credentials never leave your device

  • Stores credentials securely in macOS Keychain

  • Read-only — Kelly can't create, modify, or delete events

Related MCP server: calendar-mcp

Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+

  • uv (Python package manager)

Install

git clone <this-repo>
cd kelly
uv sync

Store credentials

kelly setup

You'll be prompted for your CalDAV principal URL, username, and password. These are stored in macOS Keychain — not in any file.

Add to Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop MCP config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kelly": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/kelly", "kelly", "serve"]
    }
  }
}

Add to Claude Code

claude mcp add kelly -- uv run --directory /path/to/kelly kelly serve

Verify

Ask Claude: "Check my calendar connection" — it should call the check_connection tool and report success.

Available Tools

Tool

Description

check_connection

Verify CalDAV credentials and server connectivity

list_calendars

List available calendars under your principal

list_upcoming_events

Fetch events for the next N days, optionally filtered by calendar name

Security Model

Aspect

Detail

Credential storage

macOS Keychain (primary), env vars (fallback for CI/Docker)

Transport

stdio only — no network listener, no exposed ports

Scope

Read-only — no calendar mutations possible

Network

Outbound HTTPS to your CalDAV server only

Dependencies

Minimal: requests, icalendar, fastmcp, keyring

Environment variable fallback

If you can't use Keychain (CI, Docker, Linux), set these instead:

export CALDAV_PRINCIPAL_URL="https://caldav.example.com/principals/you/"
export CALDAV_USER="your-username"
export CALDAV_PASS="your-password"

Development

Run tests

uv run pytest
