Calendly Automation via Rube MCP
Automate Calendly operations including event listing, invitee management, scheduling link creation, availability queries, and organization administration through Composio's Calendly toolkit.
Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/calendly
Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Calendly connection via with toolkit
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONScalendly - Always call first to get current tool schemas
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS - Many operations require the user's Calendly URI, obtained via
CALENDLY_GET_CURRENT_USER
Setup
Get Rube MCP: Add as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
https://rube.app/mcp- Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming responds
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS - Call with toolkit
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONScalendly - If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Calendly OAuth
- Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
Core Workflows
1. List and View Scheduled Events
When to use: User wants to see their upcoming, past, or filtered Calendly events
Tool sequence:
- - Get authenticated user URI and organization URI [Prerequisite]
CALENDLY_GET_CURRENT_USER - - List events scoped by user, organization, or group [Required]
CALENDLY_LIST_EVENTS - - Get detailed info for a specific event by UUID [Optional]
CALENDLY_GET_EVENT
Key parameters:
- : Full Calendly API URI (e.g.,
user) - NOThttps://api.calendly.com/users/{uuid}"me" - : Full organization URI for org-scoped queries
organization - :
statusor"active""canceled" - /
min_start_time: UTC timestamps (e.g.,max_start_time)2024-01-01T00:00:00.000000Z - : Filter events by invitee email (filter only, not a scope)
invitee_email - :
sortor"start_time:asc""start_time:desc" - : Results per page (default 20)
count - : Pagination token from previous response
page_token
Pitfalls:
- Exactly ONE of ,
user, ororganizationmust be provided - omitting or combining scopes failsgroup - The parameter requires the full API URI, not
user- use"me"firstCALENDLY_GET_CURRENT_USER - is a filter, not a scope; you still need one of user/organization/group
invitee_email - Pagination uses +
count; loop untilpage_tokenis absent for complete resultspage_token - Admin rights may be needed for organization or group scope queries
2. Manage Event Invitees
When to use: User wants to see who is booked for events or get invitee details
Tool sequence:
- - Find the target event(s) [Prerequisite]
CALENDLY_LIST_EVENTS - - List all invitees for a specific event [Required]
CALENDLY_LIST_EVENT_INVITEES - - Get detailed info for a single invitee [Optional]
CALENDLY_GET_EVENT_INVITEE
Key parameters:
- : Event UUID (for
uuid)LIST_EVENT_INVITEES - +
event_uuid: Both required forinvitee_uuidGET_EVENT_INVITEE - : Filter invitees by email address
email - :
statusor"active""canceled" - :
sortor"created_at:asc""created_at:desc" - : Results per page (default 20)
count
Pitfalls:
- The parameter for
uuidis the event UUID, not the invitee UUIDCALENDLY_LIST_EVENT_INVITEES - Paginate using until absent for complete invitee lists
page_token - Canceled invitees are excluded by default; use to see them
status: "canceled"
3. Create Scheduling Links and Check Availability
When to use: User wants to generate a booking link or check available time slots
Tool sequence:
- - Get user URI [Prerequisite]
CALENDLY_GET_CURRENT_USER - - List available event types [Required]
CALENDLY_LIST_USER_S_EVENT_TYPES - - Check available slots for an event type [Optional]
CALENDLY_LIST_EVENT_TYPE_AVAILABLE_TIMES - - Generate a single-use scheduling link [Required]
CALENDLY_CREATE_SCHEDULING_LINK - - View user's availability schedules [Optional]
CALENDLY_LIST_USER_AVAILABILITY_SCHEDULES
Key parameters:
- : Event type URI (e.g.,
owner)https://api.calendly.com/event_types/{uuid} - :
owner_type(default)"EventType" - : Must be exactly
max_event_countfor single-use links1 - /
start_time: UTC timestamps for availability queries (max 7-day range)end_time - : Boolean to filter active/inactive event types
active - : User URI for event type listing
user
Pitfalls:
- can return 403 if token lacks rights or owner URI is invalid
CALENDLY_CREATE_SCHEDULING_LINK - requires UTC timestamps and max 7-day range; split longer searches
CALENDLY_LIST_EVENT_TYPE_AVAILABLE_TIMES - Available times results are NOT paginated - all results returned in one response
- Event type URIs must be full API URIs (e.g., )
https://api.calendly.com/event_types/...
4. Cancel Events
When to use: User wants to cancel a scheduled Calendly event
Tool sequence:
- - Find the event to cancel [Prerequisite]
CALENDLY_LIST_EVENTS - - Confirm event details before cancellation [Prerequisite]
CALENDLY_GET_EVENT - - Check who will be affected [Optional]
CALENDLY_LIST_EVENT_INVITEES - - Cancel the event [Required]
CALENDLY_CANCEL_EVENT
Key parameters:
- : Event UUID to cancel
uuid - : Optional cancellation reason (may be included in notification to invitees)
reason
Pitfalls:
- Cancellation is IRREVERSIBLE - always confirm with the user before calling
- Cancellation may trigger notifications to invitees
- Only active events can be canceled; already-canceled events return errors
- Get explicit user confirmation before executing
CALENDLY_CANCEL_EVENT
5. Manage Organization and Invitations
When to use: User wants to invite members, manage organization, or handle org invitations
Tool sequence:
- - Get user and organization context [Prerequisite]
CALENDLY_GET_CURRENT_USER - - Get organization details [Optional]
CALENDLY_GET_ORGANIZATION - - Check existing invitations [Optional]
CALENDLY_LIST_ORGANIZATION_INVITATIONS - - Send an org invitation [Required]
CALENDLY_CREATE_ORGANIZATION_INVITATION - - Revoke a pending invitation [Optional]
CALENDLY_REVOKE_USER_S_ORGANIZATION_INVITATION - - Remove a member [Optional]
CALENDLY_REMOVE_USER_FROM_ORGANIZATION
Key parameters:
- : Organization UUID
uuid - : Email address of user to invite
email - : Filter invitations by
status,"pending", or"accepted""declined"
Pitfalls:
- Only org owners/admins can manage invitations and removals; others get authorization errors
- Duplicate active invitations for the same email are rejected - check existing invitations first
- Organization owners cannot be removed via
CALENDLY_REMOVE_USER_FROM_ORGANIZATION - Invitation statuses include pending, accepted, declined, and revoked - handle each appropriately
Common Patterns
ID Resolution
Calendly uses full API URIs as identifiers, not simple IDs:
- Current user URI: returns
CALENDLY_GET_CURRENT_USER(e.g.,resource.uri)https://api.calendly.com/users/{uuid} - Organization URI: Found in current user response at
resource.current_organization - Event UUID: Extract from event URI or list responses
- Event type URI: From response
CALENDLY_LIST_USER_S_EVENT_TYPES
Important: Never use as a user parameter in list/filter endpoints. Always resolve to the full URI first.
"me"Pagination
Most Calendly list endpoints use token-based pagination:
- Set for page size (default 20)
count - Follow from
page_tokenuntil absentpagination.next_page_token - Sort with format (e.g.,
field:direction,start_time:asc)created_at:desc
Time Handling
- All timestamps must be in UTC format:
yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.ffffffZ - Use /
min_start_timefor date range filtering on eventsmax_start_time - Available times queries have a maximum 7-day range; split longer searches into multiple calls
Known Pitfalls
URI Formats
- All entity references use full Calendly API URIs (e.g., )
https://api.calendly.com/users/{uuid} - Never pass bare UUIDs where URIs are expected, and never pass to list endpoints
"me" - Extract UUIDs from URIs when tools expect UUID parameters (e.g., )
CALENDLY_GET_EVENT
Scope Requirements
- requires exactly one scope (user, organization, or group) - no more, no less
CALENDLY_LIST_EVENTS - Organization/group scoped queries may require admin privileges
- Token scope determines which operations are available; 403 errors indicate insufficient permissions
Data Relationships
- Events have invitees (attendees who booked)
- Event types define scheduling pages (duration, availability rules)
- Organizations contain users and groups
- Scheduling links are tied to event types, not directly to events
Rate Limits
- Calendly API has rate limits; avoid tight loops over large datasets
- Paginate responsibly and add delays for batch operations
