Implementation Reference

• src/calendar.ts:280-342 (handler)

  The core handler function that implements the calendar event creation logic using Google Calendar API. It constructs the event object, inserts it via the API, handles attendees, and returns a formatted Markdown response.

  export async function createEvent(
    params: z.infer<ReturnType<typeof createEventSchema>>
  ) {
    try {
      const auth = createCalendarAuth();
      const calendar = google.calendar({ version: "v3", auth });
  
      const event: any = {
        summary: params.summary,
        description: params.description,
        location: params.location,
        start: {
          dateTime: params.startDateTime,
          timeZone: params.timeZone,
        },
        end: {
          dateTime: params.endDateTime,
          timeZone: params.timeZone,
        },
      };
  
      if (params.attendees && params.attendees.length > 0) {
        event.attendees = params.attendees.map((email) => ({ email }));
      }
  
      const response = await calendar.events.insert({
        calendarId: params.calendarId,
        requestBody: event,
        sendUpdates: "all", // Send invitations to attendees
      });
  
      const eventData = {
        id: response.data.id,
        summary: response.data.summary,
        start: response.data.start,
        end: response.data.end,
        location: response.data.location,
        description: response.data.description,
        attendees: response.data.attendees,
        htmlLink: response.data.htmlLink,
      };
  
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text" as const,
            text: `# Event Created Successfully ✅\n\n${formatEventToMarkdown(eventData)}`,
          },
        ],
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text" as const,
            text: `Error creating event: ${
              error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
            }`,
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  }

• src/calendar.ts:135-164 (schema)

  Zod schema defining the input parameters for the createEvent tool, including event details, attendees, calendar ID, and time zone.

  export const createEventSchema = () =>
    z.object({
      summary: z.string().describe("Event title/summary"),
      description: z.string().optional().describe("Event description"),
      location: z.string().optional().describe("Event location"),
      startDateTime: z
        .string()
        .describe(
          "Start date/time in ISO format (e.g., '2025-01-15T09:00:00-07:00')"
        ),
      endDateTime: z
        .string()
        .describe(
          "End date/time in ISO format (e.g., '2025-01-15T10:00:00-07:00')"
        ),
      attendees: z
        .array(z.string())
        .optional()
        .describe("Array of attendee email addresses"),
      calendarId: z
        .string()
        .default("primary")
        .describe(getCalendarDescription()),
      timeZone: z
        .string()
        .optional()
        .describe(
          `Time zone - defaults to local time (${systemTimezone}). Examples: 'America/New_York', 'Europe/London', 'Asia/Tokyo'`
        ),
    });

• src/index.ts:215-222 (registration)

  MCP server tool registration for 'calendar-create-event', specifying name, description, input schema from createEventSchema, and handler wrapper calling createEvent.

  server.tool(
    "calendar-create-event",
    "Create a new calendar event. Current time: " + new Date().toLocaleString(),
    createEventSchema().shape,
    async (params) => {
      return await createEvent(params);
    }
  );
