Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Calendly to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Calendly agent that can create a single-use scheduling link for my next meeting, cancel my 2pm event with a reason, mark an invitee as no-show for today's appointment, delete all invitee data for privacy compliance through natural language commands.

This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Calendly account through Composio's Calendly MCP server.

Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.

TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:
  • Get and set up your Claude/Anthropic and Composio API keys
  • Install the necessary dependencies
  • Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Calendly
  • Configure an AI agent that can use Calendly as a tool
  • Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Calendly operations

What is Claude Agent SDK?

The Claude Agent SDK is Anthropic's official framework for building AI agents powered by Claude. It provides a streamlined interface for creating agents with MCP tool support and conversation management.

Key features include:

  • Native MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
  • Permission Modes: Control tool execution permissions
  • Streaming Responses: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications
  • Context Manager: Clean async context management for sessions

What is the Calendly MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Calendly MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Calendly account. It provides structured and secure access to your scheduling workflows, so your agent can perform actions like creating personalized scheduling links, managing events, handling invitee statuses, and automating reminders on your behalf.

  • Instant scheduling link creation: Direct your agent to generate single-use or shareable scheduling links so others can book time with you instantly—no more back-and-forth emails.
  • Automated event and invitee management: Have your agent cancel events, mark invitees as no-shows, or remove no-show statuses to keep your calendar accurate and up to date.
  • Custom one-off event setup: Empower your agent to create unique, one-off meeting types for special situations, bypassing your regular availability rules.
  • Webhook subscription automation: Let the agent set up webhook subscriptions to trigger notifications or workflows in real time when events happen in your Calendly account.
  • Data privacy and compliance actions: Instruct your agent to delete invitee data or scheduled event records as needed for privacy or regulatory compliance, especially for enterprise use cases.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Cancel eventPermanently cancels an existing, active scheduled event by its `uuid`, optionally providing a `reason`, which may trigger notifications to invitees.
Create an invitee no-showMarks an invitee, identified by their existing and valid uri, as a 'no show' for a scheduled event.
Create One-Off Event TypeCreates a temporary calendly one-off event type for unique meetings outside regular availability, requiring valid host/co-host uris, a future date/range for `date setting`, and a positive `duration`.
Create scheduling linkCreate a single-use scheduling link.
Create shareCreates a customizable, one-time share link for a calendly event type, allowing specific overrides to its settings (e.
Create single use scheduling linkCreates a one-time, single-use scheduling link for an active calendly event type, expiring after one booking.
Create webhook subscriptionCreates a calendly webhook subscription to notify a specified `url` (which must be a publicly accessible https endpoint) for selected `events` within a given `organization` and `scope`.
Delete invitee dataPermanently removes all invitee data associated with the provided emails from past organization events, for data privacy compliance (requires enterprise subscription; deletion may take up to one week).
Delete invitee no showDeletes an invitee no-show record by its `uuid` to reverse an invitee's 'no-show' status; the `uuid` must refer to an existing record.
Delete scheduled event dataFor enterprise users, initiates deletion of an organization's scheduled event data between a `start time` and `end time` (inclusive, where `start time` must be <= `end time`); actual data deletion may take up to 7 days to complete.
Delete webhook subscriptionDeletes an existing webhook subscription to stop calendly sending event notifications to its registered callback url; this operation is idempotent.
Get current userRetrieves detailed information about the currently authenticated calendly user.
Get eventUse to retrieve a specific calendly scheduled event by its uuid, provided the event exists in the user's calendly account.
Get event inviteeRetrieves detailed information about a specific invitee of a scheduled event, using their unique uuids.
Get event typeRetrieves details for a specific calendly event type, identified by its uuid, which must be valid and correspond to an existing event type.

What is the Composio tool router, and how does it fit here?

What is Tool Router?

Composio's Tool Router helps agents find the right tools for a task at runtime. You can plug in multiple toolkits (like Gmail, HubSpot, and GitHub), and the agent will identify the relevant app and action to complete multi-step workflows. This can reduce token usage and improve the reliability of tool calls. Read more here: Getting started with Tool Router

The tool router generates a secure MCP URL that your agents can access to perform actions.

How the Tool Router works

The Tool Router follows a three-phase workflow:

  1. Discovery: Searches for tools matching your task and returns relevant toolkits with their details.
  2. Authentication: Checks for active connections. If missing, creates an auth config and returns a connection URL via Auth Link.
  3. Execution: Executes the action using the authenticated connection.

Step-by-step Guide

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
  • Composio API Key and Claude/Anthropic API Key
  • Primary know-how of Claude Agents SDK
  • A Calendly account
  • Some knowledge of Python

Getting API Keys for Claude/Anthropic and Composio

Claude/Anthropic API Key
  • Go to the Anthropic Console and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models.
  • Keep the API key safe.
Composio API Key
  • Log in to the Composio dashboard.
  • Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key.
  • Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication.

Install dependencies

pip install composio-anthropic claude-agent-sdk python-dotenv

Install the Composio SDK and the Claude Agents SDK.

What's happening:

  • composio-anthropic provides Composio integration for Anthropic
  • claude-agent-sdk is the core agent framework
  • python-dotenv loads environment variables

Set up environment variables

bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here

Create a .env file in your project root.

What's happening:

  • COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
  • USER_ID identifies the user for session management
  • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY authenticates with Anthropic/Claude

Import dependencies

import asyncio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
What's happening:
  • We're importing all necessary libraries including the Claude Agent SDK and Composio
  • The load_dotenv() function loads environment variables from your .env file
  • This setup prepares the foundation for connecting Claude with Calendly functionality

Create a Composio instance and Tool Router session

async def chat_with_remote_mcp():
    api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
    if not api_key:
        raise RuntimeError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set")

    composio = Composio(api_key=api_key)

    # Create Tool Router session for Calendly
    mcp_server = composio.create(
        user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"),
        toolkits=["calendly"]
    )

    url = mcp_server.mcp.url

    if not url:
        raise ValueError("Session URL not found")
What's happening:
  • The function checks for the required COMPOSIO_API_KEY environment variable
  • We're creating a Composio instance using our API key
  • The create method creates a Tool Router session for Calendly
  • The returned url is the MCP server URL that your agent will use

Configure Claude Agent with MCP

# Configure remote MCP server for Claude
options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode="bypassPermissions",
    mcp_servers={
        "composio": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": url,
            "headers": {
                "x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant with access to Calendly tools via Composio.",
    max_turns=10
)
What's happening:
  • We're configuring the Claude Agent options with the MCP server URL
  • permission_mode="bypassPermissions" allows the agent to execute operations without asking for permission each time
  • The system prompt instructs the agent that it has access to Calendly
  • max_turns=10 limits the conversation length to prevent excessive API usage

Create client and start chat loop

# Create client with context manager
async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
    print("\nChat started. Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n")

    # Main chat loop
    while True:
        user_input = input("You: ").strip()
        if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit"}:
            print("Goodbye!")
            break

        # Send query
        await client.query(user_input)

        # Receive and print response
        print("Claude: ", end="", flush=True)
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, "content"):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, "text"):
                        print(block.text, end="", flush=True)
        print()
What's happening:
  • The Claude SDK client is created using the async context manager pattern
  • The agent processes each query and streams the response back in real-time
  • The chat loop continues until the user types 'exit' or 'quit'

Run the application

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(chat_with_remote_mcp())
What's happening:
  • This entry point runs the async chat_with_remote_mcp() function using asyncio.run()
  • The application will start, create the MCP connection, and begin the interactive chat session

How to build Calendly MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Calendly MCP?

With a standalone Calendly MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Calendly tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Calendly and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Agent SDK?

Yes, you can. Claude Agent SDK fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Calendly tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Calendly while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Calendly scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Calendly data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
