Google Calendar
Manage your calendar with AI assistance. View, create, and organize events, check availability, and RSVP to invitations.
Setup
Connect the Google Calendar toolkit to your Google account to allow your AI assistant to view, create, and manage your calendar events.
Prerequisites
Before connecting Google Calendar, ensure you have configured an MCP server in your toolforest.io dashboard.
Setup Steps
Step 1: Connect to Google
- Navigate to your MCP server panel in the toolforest.io dashboard
- Locate the Google Calendar toolkit
- Click Connect
- You’ll be redirected to Google’s authorization page
Important: The Google account you connect doesn’t need to match your toolforest.io email address.
Step 2: Authorize Permissions
Google will ask you to grant toolforest.io the following permissions:
- View and edit events on all your calendars – Allows toolforest.io to create, update, and delete calendar events
- View your calendars – Allows toolforest.io to list your calendars
- View free/busy information – Allows toolforest.io to check availability across calendars
- View your email address – Allows toolforest.io to identify your account
Click Continue to grant these permissions.
Step 3: Confirmation
After authorizing, you’ll be redirected back to toolforest.io with a “Successful connection” message. The toolkit status will now show Connected.
Understanding Permissions
What toolforest.io Can Access
toolforest.io’s permissions allow your AI assistant to:
- Read calendars: View your list of calendars and their settings
- Manage events: Create, update, and delete events on your behalf
- Check availability: Query free/busy information across your calendars
- RSVP: Respond to event invitations
Data Privacy
Your calendar data is retrieved only when you explicitly ask your LLM to query it. toolforest.io does not store your calendar data permanently; it acts as a bridge to fetch the specific information your assistant needs to answer your questions.
Managing Your Connection

To disconnect the toolkit:
- Click the Disconnect button in your MCP server panel
- toolforest.io will remove all stored access tokens
Revoke Permissions
To fully revoke toolforest.io’s access to your Google account:
