Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Google Calendar to Pydantic AI using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Google Calendar agent that can create a meeting with the marketing team, list all events scheduled for next week, delete tomorrow’s canceled event from my calendar, update the time for friday’s project sync through natural language commands.

This guide will help you understand how to give your Pydantic AI agent real control over a Google Calendar account through Composio's Google Calendar 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:
  • How to set up your Composio API key and User ID
  • How to create a Composio Tool Router session for Google Calendar
  • How to attach an MCP Server to a Pydantic AI agent
  • How to stream responses and maintain chat history
  • How to build a simple REPL-style chat interface to test your Google Calendar workflows

What is Pydantic AI?

Pydantic AI is a Python framework for building AI agents with strong typing and validation. It leverages Pydantic's data validation capabilities to create robust, type-safe AI applications.

Key features include:

  • Type Safety: Built on Pydantic for automatic data validation
  • MCP Support: Native support for Model Context Protocol servers
  • Streaming: Built-in support for streaming responses
  • Async First: Designed for async/await patterns

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

The Google Calendar MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Google Calendar account. It provides structured and secure access to your calendars and events, so your agent can schedule meetings, create or modify events, list upcoming appointments, and manage calendars—all on your behalf.

  • Automated event creation and scheduling: Easily instruct your agent to add new events, meetings, or reminders with specific times, attendees, and details.
  • Event listing and agenda overview: Have your agent list all upcoming, past, or filtered events on any of your calendars to keep you on top of your schedule.
  • Calendar management and customization: Direct your agent to create new calendars, update calendar details, or even insert calendars into your list for better organization.
  • Event updating and deletion: Let your agent modify existing events or remove events that are no longer needed, keeping your calendar up to date.
  • Complete calendar clearing: Ask your agent to clear all events from a primary calendar or delete secondary calendars entirely when you need a fresh start.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Triggers
Insert Calendar into ListInserts an existing calendar into the user's calendar list.
Update Calendar List EntryUpdates an existing entry on the user\'s calendar list.
Delete CalendarDeletes a secondary calendar.
Update CalendarUpdates metadata for a calendar.
Clear CalendarClears a primary calendar.
Create EventCreates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar.
Delete eventDeletes a specified event by `event id` from a google calendar (`calendar id`); this action is idempotent and raises a 404 error if the event is not found.
Create a calendarCreates a new, empty google calendar with the specified title (summary).
Get Event InstancesReturns instances of the specified recurring event.
List EventsReturns events on the specified calendar.
Move EventMoves an event to another calendar, i.
Watch EventsWatch for changes to events resources.
Find eventFinds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Find free slotsFinds free/busy time slots in google calendars for specified calendars within a defined time range (defaults to the current day utc if `time min`/`time max` are omitted), enhancing busy intervals with event details; `time min` must precede `time max` if both are provided.
Query Free/Busy InformationReturns free/busy information for a set of calendars.
Get Google CalendarRetrieves a specific google calendar, identified by `calendar id`, to which the authenticated user has access.
Get current date and timeGets the current date and time, allowing for a specific timezone offset.
List ACL RulesRetrieves the list of access control rules (acls) for a specified calendar, providing the necessary 'rule id' values required for updating specific acl rules.
List Google CalendarsRetrieves calendars from the user's google calendar list, with options for pagination and filtering.
Patch CalendarPartially updates (patches) an existing google calendar, modifying only the fields provided; `summary` is mandatory and cannot be an empty string, and an empty string for `description` or `location` clears them.
Patch EventUpdates specified fields of an existing event in a google calendar using patch semantics (array fields like `attendees` are fully replaced if provided); ensure the `calendar id` and `event id` are valid and the user has write access to the calendar.
Quick Add EventParses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Remove attendee from eventRemoves an attendee from a specified event in a google calendar; the calendar and event must exist.
List SettingsReturns all user settings for the authenticated user.
Watch SettingsWatch for changes to settings resources.
Sync EventsSynchronizes google calendar events, performing a full sync if no `sync token` is provided or if a 410 gone error (due to an expired token) necessitates it, otherwise performs an incremental sync for events changed since the `sync token` was issued.
Update ACL RuleUpdates an access control rule for the specified calendar.
Update Google eventUpdates an existing event by `event id` in a google calendar; this is a full put replacement, so provide all desired fields as unspecified ones may be cleared or reset.

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 with an active API key
  • Basic familiarity with Python and async programming

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 pydantic-ai python-dotenv

Install the required libraries.

What's happening:

  • composio connects your agent to external SaaS tools like Google Calendar
  • pydantic-ai lets you create structured AI agents with tool support
  • python-dotenv loads your environment variables securely from a .env file

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

Create a .env file in your project root.

What's happening:

  • COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates your agent to Composio's API
  • USER_ID associates your session with your account for secure tool access
  • OPENAI_API_KEY to access OpenAI LLMs

Import dependencies

python
import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from composio import Composio
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHTTP

load_dotenv()
What's happening:
  • We load environment variables and import required modules
  • Composio manages connections to Google Calendar
  • MCPServerStreamableHTTP connects to the Google Calendar MCP server endpoint
  • Agent from Pydantic AI lets you define and run the AI assistant

Create a Tool Router Session

python
async def main():
    api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
    user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID")
    if not api_key or not user_id:
        raise RuntimeError("Set COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID in your environment")

    # Create a Composio Tool Router session for Google Calendar
    composio = Composio(api_key=api_key)
    session = composio.create(
        user_id=user_id,
        toolkits=["googlecalendar"],
    )
    url = session.mcp.url
    if not url:
        raise ValueError("Composio session did not return an MCP URL")
What's happening:
  • We're creating a Tool Router session that gives your agent access to Google Calendar tools
  • The create method takes the user ID and specifies which toolkits should be available
  • The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP server URL that your agent will use

Initialize the Pydantic AI Agent

python
# Attach the MCP server to a Pydantic AI Agent
googlecalendar_mcp = MCPServerStreamableHTTP(url, headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY})
agent = Agent(
    "openai:gpt-5",
    toolsets=[googlecalendar_mcp],
    instructions=(
        "You are a Google Calendar assistant. Use Google Calendar tools to help users "
        "with their requests. Ask clarifying questions when needed."
    ),
)
What's happening:
  • The MCP client connects to the Google Calendar endpoint
  • The agent uses GPT-5 to interpret user commands and perform Google Calendar operations
  • The instructions field defines the agent's role and behavior

Build the chat interface

python
# Simple REPL with message history
history = []
print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n")
print("Try asking the agent to help you with Google Calendar.\n")

while True:
    user_input = input("You: ").strip()
    if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit", "bye"}:
        print("\nGoodbye!")
        break
    if not user_input:
        continue

    print("\nAgent is thinking...\n", flush=True)

    async with agent.run_stream(user_input, message_history=history) as stream_result:
        collected_text = ""
        async for chunk in stream_result.stream_output():
            text_piece = None
            if isinstance(chunk, str):
                text_piece = chunk
            elif hasattr(chunk, "delta") and isinstance(chunk.delta, str):
                text_piece = chunk.delta
            elif hasattr(chunk, "text"):
                text_piece = chunk.text
            if text_piece:
                collected_text += text_piece
        result = stream_result

    print(f"Agent: {collected_text}\n")
    history = result.all_messages()
What's happening:
  • The agent reads input from the terminal and streams its response
  • Google Calendar API calls happen automatically under the hood
  • The model keeps conversation history to maintain context across turns

Run the application

python
if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
What's happening:
  • The asyncio loop launches the agent and keeps it running until you exit

Conclusion

You've built a Pydantic AI agent that can interact with Google Calendar through Composio's Tool Router. With this setup, your agent can perform real Google Calendar actions through natural language. You can extend this further by:
  • Adding other toolkits like Gmail, HubSpot, or Salesforce
  • Building a web-based chat interface around this agent
  • Using multiple MCP endpoints to enable cross-app workflows (for example, Gmail + Google Calendar for workflow automation)
This architecture makes your AI agent "agent-native", able to securely use APIs in a unified, composable way without custom integrations.

How to build Google Calendar MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Google Calendar MCP?

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

Can I use Tool Router MCP with Pydantic AI?

Yes, you can. Pydantic AI 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 Google Calendar tools.

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

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Google Calendar 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 Google Calendar data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
