Manage schedules with this MCP Server

Connect your calendar to Claude and let the `list_availability_schedules` MCP tool handle the back-and-forth. You ask for an open slot next Tuesday. The agent pulls your real-time working hours and checks your actual calendar through `get_available_slots` to find exact times you are free. Setting up a meeting takes one command. Once you pick a time, Claude fires off `create_new_booking` to lock it in. Need to move things around? The agent runs `reschedule_meeting` or drops the event entirely with `cancel_booking`.

Build booking workflows in chat

Web users can drop the Vinkius remote MCP Server URL into claude.ai and run `list_event_types` to start working immediately. You tell your AI client to organize upcoming interviews. The agent reads the templates to see exactly how long each session should be. Everything happens in the conversation window. Claude reads your active appointments via `list_bookings` and summarizes your week. If you need specific details about a call, `get_booking_details` pulls the exact participant info and meeting links right into the chat.

Audit your scheduling configuration

Checking your setup usually requires digging through settings menus, but now you just ask Claude Desktop to inspect your account with `get_my_profile`. The agent pulls your base settings. It then confirms your connection is solid by executing `test_cal_auth`. Developers can even debug integrations from the prompt. Claude checks your active event triggers by running `list_active_webhooks`. You see exactly where your calendar data is going without leaving the desktop app.
