Build an MCP Server with Google Calendar
This workflow achieves deep integration between the MCP Server and Google Calendar, providing automated calendar event management features. Users can interact intelligently with the calendar using natural language, enjoying the flexibility and convenience of creating, querying, updating, and deleting events. With the integration of AI Agents, users can experience conversational interactions with contextual memory, enhancing work efficiency. This is suitable for various scenarios, including enterprise and personal schedule management, customer relationship management, and intelligent assistant services.
Workflow Name
Build an MCP Server with Google Calendar
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow leverages the n8n platform to create an automated solution deeply integrating MCP Server with Google Calendar. It supports creating, querying, updating, and deleting Google Calendar events, enabling intelligent management and interaction with calendar data. Uniquely combined with an AI Agent, it allows users to interact with calendar data through natural language conversations, enhancing work efficiency and user experience.
Core Problems Addressed
Traditional Google Calendar operations largely rely on manual actions or basic automation, lacking flexible and intelligent event management and interaction capabilities. This workflow addresses the pain points of automated calendar event handling through MCP Server’s event-driven triggers and Google Calendar nodes. Additionally, by integrating an AI Agent with contextual memory, it enables intelligent conversations that meet more complex business requirements.
Application Scenarios
- Automated schedule management for enterprises and individuals
- Automatic synchronization and updating of schedules in Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
- Intelligent assistant services enabling natural language queries and calendar operations
- Automated reminders and event tracking
- AI Agent-powered smart interaction scenarios, such as meeting assistants and schedule planning
Main Process Steps
- Configure Google Calendar Credentials: Set up Google OAuth2 credentials in n8n to authorize access to Google Calendar.
- Create MCP Server Trigger: In n8n, create a new workflow and add the “MCP Server Trigger” node, configuring the listening path.
- Integrate Google Calendar Nodes: Add Google Calendar operation nodes such as “Get Many,” “Create,” “Update,” and “Delete” according to requirements.
- Activate Workflow and Copy Trigger URL: Save and activate the workflow, then obtain the production URL for subsequent calls.
- Build AI Agent Workflow: Create a new workflow using the “Chat Message” trigger, add the “AI Agent” node, configure system messages and language models, and connect the MCP Client Tool to enable intelligent dialogue.
- Enable Contextual Memory: Use the “Simple Memory” node to provide the AI Agent with conversation memory capabilities, enhancing interaction experience.
- Connect MCP Server and AI Agent: Use the MCP Server trigger URL to enable data flow and event-driven communication between the two components.
Involved Systems and Services
- Google Calendar: For CRUD operations on calendar events.
- n8n: Automation workflow and node orchestration platform.
- MCP Server Trigger: Event-driven trigger mechanism.
- AI Agent (based on Langchain and OpenAI GPT models): Natural language processing and intelligent dialogue.
- MCP Client Tool: Connects the AI Agent with MCP Server to enable real-time event communication.
Target Users and Value
- Automation engineers and tech enthusiasts looking to quickly build intelligent calendar management systems.
- Business professionals aiming to enhance the intelligence and automation level of schedule management.
- Developers and product managers exploring innovative applications combining AI and automation.
