How to connect a Google Calendar MCP with Claude Code (5 steps)

Merge offers a streamlined process for developers to integrate Google Calendar with Claude Code using the Merge Agent Handler, which acts as an intermediary between Claude Code and the Google Calendar API. This integration enables developers to manage calendar data directly from the terminal, reducing the need for context-switching during critical operational tasks like deployment scheduling and incident management. The process involves setting up a Tool Pack and Registered User in Merge Agent Handler, which generates a unique MCP URL, and connecting Claude Code to this URL using an API key. Merge handles OAuth token management and API calls, ensuring security and ease of use, while allowing developers to perform actions such as listing events, checking availability, and updating calendar entries without leaving their coding environment. This integration supports operational efficiency by allowing developers to access crucial scheduling information without manual checks, thus treating the calendar as a source of truth for engineering operations.
