Manage team availability directly in VS Code Copilot

The `get_free_busy` tool queries structured availability rules across your team's Notion Calendar accounts. VS Code Copilot uses this data to find overlapping free times for sprint planning or standups without leaving your editor. By using a shared MCP Server configuration, your entire engineering team can access these calendar tools. Copilot coordinates scheduling directly within your collaborative development environment.

Create and update calendar events inside your workspace

The `create_event` tool provisions new calendar entries on your Notion Calendar directly from Copilot Chat. When a pull request review is ready, you can schedule the walkthrough session immediately without leaving your active file. If plans change, Copilot runs `update_event` to adjust the time or update the attendee list. It modifies the live schedule state directly, keeping your daily planning in sync with your development pace.

Clean up canceled meetings using this MCP Server

The `delete_event` tool removes stale or canceled meetings from your Notion Calendar schedule. You simply tell Copilot to clear a block, and it targets the exact event ID to remove the entry. To avoid accidental deletions, Copilot runs `list_events` first to check the meeting details. This double-check ensures you only remove the specific event you intended to clear.
