Astrocal MCP server

@astrocal/mcp-server

Give your AI agents the power to schedule meetings. The official Model Context Protocol server for Astrocal — the API-first scheduling platform built for developers and AI agents.

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client. Your AI assistant can check availability, book meetings, cancel, reschedule, and manage waitlists — all through natural conversation.

Why Astrocal for AI Agents?

• Purpose-built for AI — Not a Calendly bolt-on. Astrocal's scheduling API was designed from day one for programmatic and AI-agent access.
• 8 tools, zero config — Check availability, book, cancel, reschedule, list event types, manage waitlists. Everything an agent needs.
• Calendar sync built in — Connects to Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, and CalDAV. Your agent books against real availability.
• Payments included — Stripe Connect integration means your agent can book paid consultations, not just free meetings.
• Sandbox mode — Test with ac_test_* keys. No emails sent, no calendar events created, no charges made.
