@mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-calendar

Microsoft 365 Outlook Calendar MCP server — list, get, create, update, delete, respond to events, check free/busy, and list calendars via the Microsoft Graph API.

Cohort-style Microsoft 365 calendar MCP. Reuses the OAuth surface owned by @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-mail so the host signs in once and gets calendar plus mail plus files plus Teams plus SharePoint from the same credentials.

Status

• Version: 0.1.1 · npm
• Auth: OAuth (host-orchestrated, shared with mcp-server-microsoft-mail) (MS_CLIENT_ID)
• Tools: 8 (events, calendars, free-busy)
• Surface: cloud-api
• Hosts tested: Mindstone Rebel
• Machine-readable: STATUS.json
• Shared library: @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-shared

Why this exists

When we ported this in May 2026, Microsoft's own Graph MCP lineup did not yet ship a stand-alone Outlook Calendar server, and the community options at the time treated calendar as its own login surface — every connector ran a separate OAuth dance and stored its own copy of the refresh token. We pulled the bundled connector out of MindstoneRebel as a 1:1 port so that the same five-connector Microsoft 365 cohort (mail, calendar, files, teams, SharePoint) shares a single set of credentials, a single shared-library package for token persistence and request timeouts, and the structured auth_required envelope the host already knows how to recover from. Calendar reuses @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-mail's authenticate_microsoft_account tool rather than declaring its own.

Example interaction

"What's on my calendar this afternoon, and find a 30-minute slot tomorrow when both Alice and I are free."

Tools the host calls:

1. list_events — date range covering the rest of today.
2. get_free_busy — checks Alice and the current user across tomorrow's working hours.

Response (trimmed):

{
  "today": [
    { "id": "AA...=", "subject": "Q3 review", "start": "2026-05-19T15:00:00Z", "end": "2026-05-19T16:00:00Z" }
  ],
  "tomorrow_freebusy": [
    { "user": "[email protected]", "free": ["10:00-11:00", "14:30-16:00"] }
  ]
}

Requirements

• Node.js 20+
• npm
• A host application that performs the Microsoft OAuth flow and writes per-account token files into ${MS_CONFIG_DIR}/credentials/${sanitised-email}.token.json and an ${MS_CONFIG_DIR}/accounts.json index. This server reads those files; it does not initiate OAuth itself.

Quick Start

Install & build

cd <path-to-repo>/connectors/microsoft-calendar
npm install
npm run build

npx (once published)

npx -y @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-calendar

Local

node dist/index.js

Configuration

This server runs alongside a host application that owns the Microsoft 365 OAuth flow. The host writes credentials to disk; this server reads them.

Required environment variables

| Name | Description | | ---- | ----------- | | MS_CLIENT_ID | Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) application client ID. | | MS_CONFIG_DIR | Path to the per-user Microsoft config directory (credentials/, accounts.json). |

Optional environment variables

| Name | Description | Default | | ---- | ----------- | ------- | | MS_ACCOUNT_EMAIL | Account email when running in multi-account per-instance mode. | First account in accounts.json. | | MS_MCP_PACKAGE_ID | Logical package ID surfaced in error responses. | Microsoft365Calendar | | MICROSOFT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS | Override the upstream Microsoft Graph request timeout (max 300000 ms). | 60000 | | MICROSOFT_DISABLE_REFRESH | Set to 1 to disable token refresh on this surface. Tools fail closed with the structured auth_required response so the host can drive reauth. Cloud surfaces set this to 1. | unset |

Host configuration examples

Claude Desktop / Cursor

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Microsoft365Calendar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-calendar"],
      "env": {
        "MS_CLIENT_ID": "your-entra-application-client-id",
        "MS_CONFIG_DIR": "/absolute/path/to/microsoft-config"
      }
    }
  }
}

Sign in via @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-mail's authenticate_microsoft_account first; the calendar tools then reuse the credentials it writes to ${MS_CONFIG_DIR}/.

Local development (no npm publish needed)

        "MS_CONFIG_DIR": "/absolute/path/to/microsoft-config"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools (8)

| Tool | Description | | ---- | ----------- | | list_events | List calendar events within a date range (JSON or agenda-style text). | | get_event | Get detailed information about a specific calendar event. | | create_event | Create a new calendar event (with optional Teams meeting). | | update_event | Update an existing calendar event. | | delete_event | Delete a calendar event. | | respond_to_event | Accept, decline, or tentatively accept an event invitation. | | get_free_busy | Check availability/free-busy status for users. | | list_calendars | List all calendars the user has access to. |

Security notes

• No authentication tool of its own; sign-in is delegated to @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-mail so the cohort has a single OAuth surface.
• Token files are written by the host with mode 0600; this server reads them via the cohort-shared library, which fails closed on malformed files.
• MICROSOFT_DISABLE_REFRESH=1 is the default on cloud surfaces so the desktop session remains the sole refresh-token authority.
• Per-tool Graph calls run under a composed caller + cohort timeout signal.
