Agent Guidelines

This document provides instructions for AI agents interacting with the Google Calendar MCP server.

Multi-Account Handling

This server supports connecting to multiple Google accounts simultaneously (e.g., "work", "personal").

Detecting Accounts

You can list available accounts using the list-calendars tool. The tool will return calendars from all connected accounts.

Using the account Parameter

Most tools accept an optional account parameter.

• If account is OMITTED:

  • Read operations (like list-events) will query all accounts and merge results.
  • Write operations (like create-event) will try to intelligently select the best account based on permissions.

• If account is SPECIFIED:

  • The operation is restricted to that specific account (or list of accounts).
  • Use this when the user explicitly asks to "check my work calendar" or "add this to my personal schedule".

Example: Listing Events

{
  "name": "list-events",
  "arguments": {
    "timeMin": "2023-10-27T00:00:00Z",
    "account": ["work"]
  }
}

Example: Creating Events

{
  "name": "create-event",
  "arguments": {
    "summary": "Meeting",
    "start": "...",
    "end": "...",
    "account": "work"
  }
}

Calendar Deduplication

The server automatically handles shared calendars. If a calendar is shared between "work" and "personal", it will appear as a single unified calendar in list-calendars. You generally don't need to worry about duplicates.
