CalendarAgent

📅 CalendarAgent

A .NET 8 tool to automate Google Calendar scheduling and inspection, integrated with MCP and GitHub Copilot.

📌 Objective

Automate calendar tasks like scheduling meetings via prompts, inspect metadata, and build extensible agent‑based workflows.

✅ Prerequisites

Before you begin, install and set up the following:

• .NET 8 SDK

• Node.js (v14.x or higher)

• npm (comes with Node.js)

• MCP Inspector:

  
  npm install -g mcp-inspector
  

• Google Cloud Credentials:

  • Create a project in Google Cloud Console.
  • Enable the Google Calendar API.
  • Download the credentials.json file.
  • Place it in the root directory of the project.

📦 Project structure & configuration

• Uses Central Package Management (CPM) for NuGet dependencies.
• Code style enforced with StyleCop.
• Includes mcp.json file for MCP configuration in the project root.

✨ Setup & build instructions (VS Code)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/kanhaiyatyagi63/CalendarAgent.git
   cd CalendarAgent
   

2. Install .NET dependencies:

   dotnet restore
   

3. Create VS Code workspace folder:

   • In the root of your project, create a folder named:

     .vs
     

   • Change or set your solution path inside .vs as needed.

4. Open project in VS Code:

     Code .
   

5. Build the solution:

     dotnet build
   

6. Configure MCP:

   • Copy or move mcp.json into the .vs folder if you want to keep configs separate.
   • Open mcp.json inside the .vs folder.
   • Start the MCP server:

     mcp-inspector
     

✏️ Use with GitHub Copilot (example)

After opening the project in VS Code and running the MCP server:

1. In VS Code, open the Copilot sidebar.
2. Select the agent you configured from your MCP server.
3. Enter a prompt, for example:

   💭 Prompt:
   Schedule a meeting with xyz@gmail.com, abc@gmail.com for Generative AI from tomorrow 4 PM to 6 PM

4. Ask for a login to generate the token.json for the first time only.

Copilot will use your agent and the MCP server to process the request and schedule the meeting.
