Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+

  • A Google Cloud project with the Google Calendar API enabled

  • OAuth2 desktop application credentials

Setup

  1. Create or use an existing project in the Google Cloud Console and enable the Google Calendar API

  2. Create OAuth2 credentials (Application type: Desktop app) and download the JSON file

  3. Save the credentials file:

mkdir -p ~/.config/mcp-google-gcal
cp ~/Downloads/client_secret_*.json ~/.config/mcp-google-gcal/credentials.json
  1. Run the one-time authorization flow:

npx mcp-google-gcal --auth primary

This prints a URL for Google consent. After granting access, paste the authorization code back into the terminal.

Multi-Account Setup
