Apple Calendar MCP connector

The Apple Calendar connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent create, update and cancel events and manage calendars in Apple Calendar, with every change running under the signed-in person's own access and recorded in an audit log.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Apple Calendar to Claude?

Connecting Apple Calendar to Claude takes two steps. First, connect Apple Calendar in Elaichi, where the sign-in step is pasting the Apple Calendar API key you are given, with no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, after which Claude asks you to sign in to Elaichi as yourself.

Does Apple Calendar work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Apple Calendar is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, the Elaichi Agent and any other MCP client. You connect Apple Calendar once and every client you use picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Apple Calendar data?

With Apple Calendar connected, an AI agent can put a new event on your calendar, look up an existing event, change its time, title or details, and cancel it when a meeting falls through. It can also list your Apple Calendar calendars, find a particular one, create a new calendar for a project or team, rename or recolor it, and remove it when it is no longer needed.

Does connecting Apple Calendar give the AI access to every calendar?

No. When someone connects Apple Calendar through Elaichi, the AI works only within the calendars that person can already see and edit in Apple Calendar. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example by blocking deletions or limiting a team to specific actions, but it can never grant access to an Apple Calendar that the person does not already have.

Can my team share one Apple Calendar connection?

Yes. One person connects Apple Calendar in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else on the team ever handles the API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every event created or changed in Apple Calendar is logged against the person who asked for it.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Apple Calendar?

Yes. In Elaichi, restrictions on the Apple Calendar connector apply per action, so you can allow creating and updating events while blocking event deletion or calendar deletion entirely. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to an Apple Calendar connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to Apple Calendar through every AI client ends at once. If they had shared their Apple Calendar connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else until an admin decides otherwise. Disconnecting Apple Calendar once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other connected client at the same time.
