Allows creating calendar events and tasks in Nextcloud via CalDAV.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Nextcloud CalDAV MCP ServerCreate a calendar event for dentist appointment on Thursday at 2 PM"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

1 — Deploy the server files
# Files already live in /root/calendar_todo_mcp
# Copy the service file to systemd
mkdir -p /root/calendar_todo_mcp
cp server.py requirements.txt calendar_todo_mcp.service /root/calendar_todo_mcp/2 — Python virtual environment
python3 -m venv /root/calendar_todo_mcp/venv
/root/calendar_todo_mcp/venv/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
/root/calendar_todo_mcp/venv/bin/pip install -r /root/calendar_todo_mcp/requirements.txt3 — Configure .env
cp /root/calendar_todo_mcp/.env.example /root/calendar_todo_mcp/.env
nano /root/calendar_todo_mcp/.env # or your preferred editor
chmod 600 /root/calendar_todo_mcp/.envRequired values to fill in:

4 — Tailscale einrichten
Tailscale installieren
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
tailscale upAnmelden mit deinem Tailscale-Account im Browser, wenn der Link erscheint.
MagicDNS und HTTPS in der Tailscale-Konsole aktivieren
MagicDNS aktivieren
HTTPS Certificates aktivieren
Funnel aktivieren (öffentlich erreichbar via HTTPS)
Tailscale Funnel macht den Server über das öffentliche Internet erreichbar — nötig, damit Claude.ai (Cloud) den MCP-Server erreichen kann.
Der mitgelieferte tailscale_funnel.service startet den Funnel automatisch beim Booten (siehe Schritt 5). Zum Testen vorab:
tailscale funnel 8000Danach die URL deines Servers ermitteln:
tailscale funnel status
# Ausgabe z.B.: https://mymachine.tail-abc123.ts.net/ proxies to http://127.0.0.1:8000Diesen HTTPS-Hostnamen (z.B. https://mymachine.tail-abc123.ts.net) als
RESOURCE_SERVER_URL in die .env eintragen.
Nur im Tailnet (kein öffentlicher Zugriff)? Wenn Claude Desktop auf einem Gerät im selben Tailnet läuft, reicht
tailscale serve 8000stattfunnel.
5 — Install and start the systemd services
Both service files need to be copied and enabled: the MCP server and the Tailscale Funnel.
# MCP server
cp /root/calendar_todo_mcp/calendar_todo_mcp.service \
/etc/systemd/system/calendar-todo-mcp.service
# Tailscale Funnel (keeps the funnel running across reboots)
cp /root/calendar_todo_mcp/tailscale_funnel.service \
/etc/systemd/system/tailscale-funnel-mcp.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable --now calendar-todo-mcp
systemctl enable --now tailscale-funnel-mcp
# Verify both are running
systemctl status calendar-todo-mcp
systemctl status tailscale-funnel-mcp
journalctl -u calendar-todo-mcp -f6 — Smoke test
Ersetze mymachine.tail-abc123.ts.net mit deiner tatsächlichen Tailscale-URL:
# OAuth-Metadaten-Endpoint — sollte JSON mit issuer/scopes zurückgeben
curl https://mymachine.tail-abc123.ts.net/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource \
| python3 -m json.tool
# MCP-Endpoint ohne Token — sollte 401 zurückgeben
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
https://mymachine.tail-abc123.ts.net/mcp7 — Connect Claude
MCP-Server in Claude.ai oder claude_desktop_config.json eintragen:
{
"mcpServers": {
"calendar-todo": {
"url": "https://mymachine.tail-abc123.ts.net/mcp"
}
}
}Claude startet beim ersten Verbinden automatisch den OAuth-Flow (Browser-Redirect). Danach ist keine weitere Konfiguration nötig.
Claude kann dann Dinge sagen wie:
"Trag mir einen Zahnarzttermin am 3. April um 10 Uhr für 45 Minuten ein" "Erinnerung: Bank anrufen — fällig morgen"
Operations
# View live logs
journalctl -u calendar-todo-mcp -f
# Restart after config changes
systemctl restart calendar-todo-mcp
# Stop / disable
systemctl stop calendar-todo-mcp
systemctl disable calendar-todo-mcpTroubleshooting
Problem | What to check |
| OAuth-Flow noch nicht abgeschlossen — Claude erneut verbinden und Autorisierung im Browser bestätigen |
| The |
CalDAV | App password entered correctly? User has CalDAV access enabled? |
| Is the service running? |
Tailscale | MCP server not running, or wrong |
Funnel antwortet nicht |
|
Tailscale HTTPS geht nicht | MagicDNS und HTTPS Certificates in der Tailscale-Admin-Console aktiviert? |
This server cannot be installed
