Project-Specific Calendar Context for Cursor

Feed your actual availability into your coding workflow. The `parse_ical_calendar` tool allows your agent to see exactly when you are busy. Define the path in your .cursor/mcp.json. Your agent then uses this data to suggest realistic project deadlines.

Direct Data Injection into Code

Don't hardcode your schedule into your scripts. Let the agent read your .ics file and generate code based on your actual meeting blocks. This keeps your automation logic accurate. It eliminates the need for manual updates when your calendar changes.

Local File Parsing for Cursor

Access your calendar without exposing it to web APIs. The MCP server runs locally, providing a direct link to your exported files. Your agent reads the data directly from your disk. It handles the parsing logic so you can focus on building features.
