Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Calendly to CrewAI 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 CrewAI 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 a Composio API key and configure your Calendly connection
  • Set up CrewAI with an MCP enabled agent
  • Create a Tool Router session or standalone MCP server for Calendly
  • Build a conversational loop where your agent can execute Calendly operations

What is CrewAI?

CrewAI is a powerful framework for building multi-agent AI systems. It provides primitives for defining agents with specific roles, creating tasks, and orchestrating workflows through crews.

Key features include:

  • Agent Roles: Define specialized agents with specific goals and backstories
  • Task Management: Create tasks with clear descriptions and expected outputs
  • Crew Orchestration: Combine agents and tasks into collaborative workflows
  • MCP Integration: Connect to external tools through Model Context Protocol

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.
Get groupRetrieves all attributes of a specific calendly group by its uuid; the group must exist.
Get group relationshipRetrieves a specific calendly group relationship by its valid and existing uuid, providing details on user-group associations and membership.

List routing formsRetrieves routing forms for a specified organization; routing forms are questionnaires used to direct invitees to appropriate booking pages or external urls.
List user availability schedulesRetrieves all availability schedules for the specified calendly user.
List user busy timesFetches a user's busy time intervals (internal and external calendar events) in ascending order for a period up to 7 days; keyset pagination is not supported.
List user event typesRetrieves event types for a user or organization; requires either the `user` or `organization` uri.
List webhook subscriptionsRetrieves webhook subscriptions for a calendly organization; `scope` determines if `user` or `group` uri is also required for filtering.
Remove user from organizationRemoves a user (who is not an owner) from an organization by their membership uuid, requiring administrative privileges.
Revoke a user's organization invitationRevokes a pending and revokable (not yet accepted or expired) organization invitation using its uuid and the organization's uuid, rendering the invitation link invalid.

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:
  • Python 3.9 or higher
  • A Composio account and API key
  • A Calendly connection authorized in Composio
  • An OpenAI API key for the CrewAI LLM
  • Basic familiarity with Python

Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio

OpenAI API Key
  • Go to the OpenAI dashboard and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models, or you can connect to another model provider.
  • 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

bash
pip install composio crewai crewai-tools python-dotenv
What's happening:
  • composio connects your agent to Calendly via MCP
  • crewai provides Agent, Task, Crew, and LLM primitives
  • crewai-tools includes MCP helpers
  • python-dotenv loads environment variables from .env

Set up environment variables

bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here

Create a .env file in your project root.

What's happening:

  • COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
  • USER_ID scopes the session to your account
  • OPENAI_API_KEY lets CrewAI use your chosen OpenAI model

Import dependencies

python
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, LLM
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter  # optional import if you plan to adapt tools
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os
from crewai.mcp import MCPServerHTTP

load_dotenv()
What's happening:
  • CrewAI classes define agents and tasks, and run the workflow
  • MCPServerHTTP connects the agent to an MCP endpoint
  • Composio will give you a short lived Calendly MCP URL

Create a Composio Tool Router session for Calendly

python
composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY"))
session = composio.create(
    user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"),
    toolkits=["calendly"],
)
url = session.mcp.url
What's happening:
  • You create a Calendly only session through Composio
  • Composio returns an MCP HTTP URL that exposes Calendly tools

Configure the LLM

python
llm = LLM(
    model="gpt-5-mini",
    api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
)
What's happening:
  • CrewAI will call this LLM for planning and responses
  • You can swap in a different model if needed

Attach the MCP server and create the agent

python
toolkit_agent = Agent(
    role="Calendly Assistant",
    goal="Help users interact with Calendly through natural language commands",
    backstory=(
        "You are an expert assistant with access to Calendly tools. "
        "You can perform various Calendly operations on behalf of the user."
    ),
    mcps=[
        MCPServerHTTP(
            url=url,
            streamable=True,
            cache_tools_list=True,
            headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")},
        ),
    ],
    llm=llm,
    verbose=True,
    max_iter=10,
)
What's happening:
  • MCPServerHTTP connects the agent to the Calendly MCP endpoint
  • cache_tools_list saves a tools catalog for faster subsequent runs
  • verbose helps you see what the agent is doing

Add a REPL loop with Task and Crew

python
print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n")
print("Try asking the agent to perform Calendly operations.\n")

conversation_context = ""

while True:
    user_input = input("You: ").strip()

    if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]:
        print("\nGoodbye!")
        break

    if not user_input:
        continue

    conversation_context += f"\nUser: {user_input}\n"
    print("\nAgent is thinking...\n")

    task = Task(
        description=(
            f"Based on the conversation history:\n{conversation_context}\n\n"
            f"Current user request: {user_input}\n\n"
            f"Please help the user with their Calendly related request."
        ),
        expected_output="A helpful response addressing the user's request",
        agent=toolkit_agent,
    )

    crew = Crew(
        agents=[toolkit_agent],
        tasks=[task],
        verbose=False,
    )

    result = crew.kickoff()
    response = str(result)

    conversation_context += f"Agent: {response}\n"
    print(f"Agent: {response}\n")
What's happening:
  • You build a simple chat loop and keep a running context
  • Each user turn becomes a Task handled by the same agent
  • Crew executes the task and returns a response

Run the application

python
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
What's happening:
  • Standard Python entry point so you can run python crewai_calendly_agent.py

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 CrewAI?

Yes, you can. CrewAI 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.
