mcp-ical

5 ICS / iCalendar tools for Claude. Generate, parse, and one-click-add events to Google/Outlook. Free, MIT.

Tools (5)

• create_event — Generate ICS for a single event (title, start, end, location, description, organizer, attendees, all-day).

• create_calendar — Build a multi-event ICS file.

• parse_ics — Parse existing ICS content into event objects.

• google_calendar_url — One-click "Add to Google Calendar" URL (no auth).

• outlook_calendar_url — One-click "Add to Outlook Web Calendar" URL.

Example prompts

• "Make an ICS file for a meeting tomorrow 2pm-3pm titled 'Sprint planning' at Zoom URL ..."

• "Build a calendar from these 5 events..."

• "Parse this ICS file and tell me when the next event is."

• "Give me a Google Calendar 'Add' link for the team offsite on 2026-07-15."

See examples/prompts.md for more.

Why this exists

Existing calendar MCPs assume a SaaS backend (Google Calendar OAuth, Microsoft Graph). For LLMs that just need to emit a standards-compliant ICS file or build an add-to-calendar link, those are overkill.

mcp-ical is the pure-logic version:

• Zero dependencies beyond @modelcontextprotocol/sdk

• Zero API keys

• Zero accounts

• RFC 5545 line folding, escape sequences, attendee/organizer support

Perfect for "tell me about an event then make an ICS attachment" workflows.
