About Cronofy MCP Server
Connect your Cronofy account to any AI agent and take full control of your unified calendar and scheduling workflows through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Cronofy data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Unified Event Management — List, retrieve, and create events across aggregated Google, iCloud, and Exchange overlays limitlessly
- Multi-User Availability — Query availability for up to 10 participants simultaneously, calculating strict intersections to find the perfect meeting time
- Free/Busy Auditing — Execute bulk iterations to map time matrices and return exact available boundaries without exposing event payloads
- Automated Scheduling — Generate live-availability links and shared scheduling requests to simplify meeting coordination with external members
- Identity & Profile Mapping — Inspect unified account canonical IDs and list distinct identity providers connected natively to your Cronofy profile
- Sync Control — Irreversibly vaporize explicit validations and delete events to maintain absolute consistency across all connected upstream providers
The Cronofy MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
