At a glance: 1,100+ GitHub stars, 13 tools, v2.6.1, multi-account support, OAuth 2.0 with PKCE. Rating: 4/5.
The nspady/google-calendar-mcp server is the leading community implementation for Google Calendar MCP integration. There is no official Google Calendar MCP server — Google briefly shipped and removed MCP support from their Workspace CLI in early March 2026.
What It Does
13 tools covering the full calendar lifecycle:
Read (7 tools): list-calendars, list-events, get-event, search-events, get-freebusy, get-current-time, list-colors
Write (5 tools): create-event, create-events (bulk, new in v2.5.0), update-event, delete-event, respond-to-event
Admin (1 tool): manage-accounts — add/remove/list connected Google accounts
What Sets It Apart
- Multi-account with cross-calendar conflict detection — connect work + personal accounts, check availability across all calendars simultaneously
- Intelligent import from images/PDFs — point at a conference poster or invitation, it extracts and creates events
- Bulk event creation (v2.5.0) — schedule a week of meetings in one call with per-field timezone support
- PKCE-secured OAuth (v2.6.0) — hardened authorization flow
-
Tool filtering —
--enable-toolsflag to expose only read tools for security
What's Missing
- OAuth setup friction — Google Cloud project + credentials + test user config before first run (15-30 min)
- No hosted/remote option — local-only (stdio or local HTTP), unlike Todoist's hosted endpoint
- No Google Workspace admin features — individual accounts only, no domain-wide delegation
- Test mode token expiry — tokens expire every 7 days in Google Cloud's default test mode
Google's MCP Story
Google Cloud ships managed remote MCP servers for Maps, BigQuery, Compute — but Calendar is not included. The Workspace CLI's MCP server was added and removed within two days (PR #275). A "Developer Tools" MCP server at workspace-developer.goog/mcp serves documentation only. The community server remains the only option.
Community Alternatives
- taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp (696 stars) — Calendar + Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and more in one server
- guinacio/mcp-google-calendar (9 stars) — Python implementation with conflict detection
- deciduus/calendar-mcp (25 stars) — agentic mutual availability detection
The Bottom Line
Rating: 4/5 — The best Google Calendar MCP server available. Multi-account support and active maintenance (23+ releases) make it the clear choice. OAuth setup complexity and the absence of an official Google server keep it from 4.5.
