Google Calendar's Official MCP Server, Part of Workspace's Per-App Model

Google runs a dedicated, official MCP server for Calendar as part of its per-app Workspace MCP model — letting an agent list events and schedule meetings within the authenticated user's existing calendar permissions.

Google Calendar has its own dedicated, official MCP server, part of the same family as Gmail's and Drive's — Google documents configuration for all of them together at developers.google.com/workspace/guides/configure-mcp-servers, with each Workspace product getting its own focused server rather than one server trying to cover everything.

What an Agent Can Actually Do

Through the Calendar MCP server, a connected agent can list upcoming events, check availability, and schedule new meetings on the authenticated user's behalf — inheriting that user's existing calendar sharing and permission settings rather than a separate elevated grant.

Why Per-App Servers Instead of One Combined Server

Google's choice to ship Gmail, Calendar, and Drive as separate MCP servers (rather than one "Google Workspace" server) mirrors the same scope-discipline principle Swiggy applied with its three independent servers — an agent that only needs calendar access doesn't need to be granted email or file access just because they happen to come from the same vendor.

Community Alternatives

Community-built options like piotr-agier/google-drive-mcp bundle Calendar alongside Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides in a single self-hosted server — worth considering if you specifically want one combined server under your own infrastructure rather than Google's separate managed endpoints.
