Perplexity

Read availability and generate links via Claude Desktop

The `get_user_availability` tool feeds your scheduling rules and busy times straight into the chat interface. Claude Desktop reads your ISO 8601 UTC date overrides to find exact gaps in your calendar. You ask your agent when you are free, and it pulls the raw data without making you open a browser tab. Once a slot is picked, `create_scheduling_link` builds a direct booking URL for the invitee. Your agent combines the event type URI and owner type to generate a working link that you can drop into an email draft. Skipping the manual copy-pasting happens instantly.

Track upcoming meetings with this MCP Server

Using `list_scheduled_events`, your agent pulls your active and canceled meetings directly into the conversation. Claude filters the results by your user URI to show exactly who is attending your upcoming sessions. Grabbing the start times in UTC maps them to your local timezone automatically. Digging deeper into specific attendees requires `get_invitee` and `list_invitees`. The server extracts their responses to custom questions alongside their email addresses. This means your agent can brief you on a participant right before you jump on a call.

Audit your event integrations natively

The `list_webhooks` tool exposes every active subscription tied to your user or organization scope. Your AI client checks which events trigger automated workflows, like invitee cancellations or no-shows. Getting a clear view of your background processes avoids navigating complex admin panels. If a new automation is needed, `create_webhook` sets it up on the fly. Claude passes the callback URL and signing key to the API to register new event listeners. Developers testing local integrations manage these hooks directly from their desktop environment.

Yes, you can paste the remote HTTPS URL into the Integrations menu under Custom Connectors. The browser version of Claude will authenticate the connection and pull your scheduled events directly into the web chat.

Your agent can read custom question responses and draft personalized emails in one step. Bringing the scheduling API into your chat means you never break context to check your calendar.

The current tools focus on reading data and generating links. You can list active events or create a new scheduling URL, but canceling an existing meeting requires the invitee to use their specific management link.

Vinkius runs the server inside a V8 Isolate Sandbox that destroys itself after executing the request. Your attendee email addresses, custom question responses, and calendar busy times never touch persistent storage. The ephemeral architecture guarantees your private scheduling details remain strictly between the API and your chat session.
