🔧 Nango Setup Guide

Nango handles the complex Google OAuth flow for you. Here's how to set it up:

1. Create a Nango Account

• Go to Nango.dev and sign up

• Create a new project

2. Set Up Google Calendar Integration

• In your Nango dashboard, add a new integration

• Choose "Google Calendar" as the provider

• Follow Nango's guide to configure Google OAuth credentials

3. Get Your Credentials

• NANGO_SECRET_KEY: Found in your Nango project settings

• NANGO_CONNECTION_ID: Created when a user connects their Google account

• NANGO_INTEGRATION_ID: The ID of your Google Calendar integration

4. Test Your Connection

# Test that your environment is set up correctly
python -c "import os; print('✅ All env vars set!' if all([os.getenv('NANGO_CONNECTION_ID'), os.getenv('NANGO_INTEGRATION_ID'), os.getenv('NANGO_NANGO_SECRET_KEY')]) else '❌ Missing env vars')"

🧪 Testing Your Setup

Option 1: Test with MCP Inspector

# Install the MCP inspector
npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

# Test your server
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector python main.py

Option 2: Direct Python Test

# Run the server directly to see if it starts without errors
python main.py

Option 3: Test with Claude

Ask Claude: "Can you check what calendar tools are available?"

🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

❌ "Failed to retrieve calendars"

• Check your Nango credentials in .env

• Verify your Google Calendar connection in Nango dashboard

• Ensure the Google account has calendar access

❌ "NANGO_CONNECTION_ID environment variable is required"

• Make sure your .env file is in the same directory as the Python script

• Check that all environment variables are set correctly

• Restart Claude Desktop after making changes

❌ Claude can't find the calendar tools

• Verify the full path in your Claude config is correct

• Make sure you restarted Claude Desktop completely

• Check the Claude Desktop logs for error messages

Getting Help

1. Check the logs: Claude Desktop shows MCP server logs in its developer console

2. Test your .env: Run python -c "from dotenv import load_dotenv; load_dotenv(); import os; print(os.environ.get('NANGO_CONNECTION_ID'))"

3. Verify file paths: Make sure all paths in your Claude config are absolute paths

📋 Example Usage with Claude

Once set up, you can have natural conversations with Claude about your calendar:

You: "What's my schedule looking like today?"

Claude: I'll check your calendar for today's events.

{
  "success": true,
  "events": [
    {
      "summary": "Team Standup",
      "start": "2024-01-15T09:00:00Z",
      "end": "2024-01-15T09:30:00Z"
    }
  ],
  "total_events": 1
}

You have 1 event today: Team Standup from 9:00 AM to 9:30 AM.

You: "Schedule a client meeting for next Friday at 2 PM with john@company.com"

Claude: I'll create that meeting for you with a Google Meet link.

{
  "success": true,
  "event": {
    "summary": "Client Meeting",
    "start": "2024-01-19T14:00:00Z",
    "attendees": [{"email": "john@company.com"}]
  }
}

✅ Created "Client Meeting" for Friday, January 19th at 2:00 PM with john@company.com. Google Meet link has been included automatically.
