What is the 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.
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
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Cronofy Access Token (obtained via OAuth flow at app.cronofy.com)

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent check availability across different calendar providers like Google and iCloud?
Yes. Use the 'query_availability' tool. Your agent will traverse multi-user JSON payloads and calculate strict intersections across all connected accounts, regardless of the underlying calendar provider.
How do I create a new calendar event via the agent?
Provide the 'calendar_id', 'summary', and 'start/end' times to the 'create_event' tool. The agent commands Cronofy to update your upstream provider synchronously, ensuring the event appears on your calendar immediately.
Can I generate a public scheduling link through chat?
Absolutely. Use the 'create_scheduling_request' tool. The agent will generate a shared UI link mapped to your live availability, which you can then share externally to let others book time with you.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
