FAQ from Google Calendar MCP Server
What authentication methods are supported?
Two methods: Google Cloud OAuth (recommended, requires a Google Cloud project) and direct authentication (simpler, no Google Cloud setup, but subject to Google’s security policies).
What are the runtime requirements?
Node.js v16 or higher, npm or yarn, a Google account with Calendar access, and OAuth 2.0 credentials if using the Google Cloud method.
Can Claude Desktop currently connect to this MCP server?
As of April 2025, Claude Desktop may have limited or no support for external MCP connections. Testing indicates the current version does not connect to this server. The server itself functions independently for direct API use.
How are authentication tokens stored?
Tokens are saved locally in files. They should be kept secure and never committed to version control.
Can I deploy with Docker?
Yes. The project includes a Docker Compose configuration for containerized deployment.
What is the difference between the two auth methods?
Google Cloud OAuth follows standard OAuth 2.0 and is more secure and reliable for production. Direct authentication is simpler for personal/development use but may stop working if Google changes its authentication requirements.
