Outlook Calendar

Read the calendar, schedule and reschedule meetings, and answer invitations as the signed-in account.

Connect a Microsoft 365 account to work its calendar: read what is scheduled between two instants (recurring meetings expanded per occurrence), read one event with its attendee responses and join link, check free/busy across a set of people, ask Outlook for slots that work, and then create, update, respond to or cancel meetings. Acts as the signed-in account itself - creating a meeting with attendees sends them an invitation immediately.

Connect​

Sign in with Microsoft. Sign in with Microsoft to read your calendar, schedule meetings, and respond to invitations as yourself. An organization admin configures the OAuth app once under Integrations → OAuth apps; after that, connecting is a consent screen.

  • Connecting signs in as YOU - tools see and change the calendars your Microsoft account can, and meetings you create are organized by you.

  • This connection asks for calendar access ONLY. It does not ask for your mailbox: mail is the separate Outlook connection.

  • Most Microsoft 365 tenants require an administrator to consent to calendar permissions - your admin registers the app in Entra ID and configures it under Integrations → OAuth apps, including your tenant id.

  • Free/busy lookups for other people return only what your organization's calendar sharing already lets you see.

Tools​

ToolAccessWhat it does
List calendars (yekar.outlook-calendar.list-calendars)ReadList the calendars the signed-in account can see - their ids for List events and Create event, which one is the default, and whether each is writable. An account with many shared calendars pages via nextCursor.
List events (yekar.outlook-calendar.list-events)ReadWhat is on the calendar between two instants - the expanded view, so a recurring meeting appears once per occurrence in the window rather than as a single series. Times come back in UTC. Paginated via nextCursor.
Read event (yekar.outlook-calendar.read-event)ReadRead one event in full: times (UTC), location, join link, the attendee list with each person's response, and the meeting body. Reports whether the body was truncated and its true length.
Get schedule (yekar.outlook-calendar.get-schedule)ReadFree/busy for a set of people over a window - a per-interval availability strip plus the busy blocks behind it. Returns only what your organization's calendar sharing already exposes: where detail is hidden the strip reads 'unknown' and any lookup that failed carries an error, so an unreadable calendar is never reported as free.
Find meeting times (yekar.outlook-calendar.find-meeting-times)ReadAsk Outlook for meeting slots that work for a set of attendees inside a window - it scores candidates against everyone's free/busy and working hours and returns them best-first, with the attendees who can't make each one. Use this before Create event rather than guessing at a time.
Create event (yekar.outlook-calendar.create-event)WriteCreate a calendar event as the signed-in account. Inviting attendees SENDS them an invitation immediately - there is no draft state for a meeting, so treat this as an outgoing message when a human should approve it. Optionally creates a Teams meeting.
Update event (yekar.outlook-calendar.update-event)WriteChange an event the signed-in account organizes - time, title, body, location, or attendees. Attendees on the meeting are notified of the change by Outlook. Note the attendee list is REPLACED, not appended to, and that updating one occurrence of a recurring meeting changes only that occurrence.
Respond to event (yekar.outlook-calendar.respond-to-event)WriteAccept, decline, or tentatively accept a meeting invitation as the signed-in account. By default the organizer is notified; set sendResponse false to update only your own calendar. Declining removes the meeting from your calendar.
Cancel event (yekar.outlook-calendar.cancel-event)WriteCancel a meeting the signed-in account organizes - attendees receive a cancellation notice and the meeting leaves their calendars. Organizer only: to get out of someone else's meeting, use Respond to event with decline.

Notes​

  • Sign in with Microsoft to connect - every tool acts as YOUR calendar, and meetings you create are organized by you.
  • Times are UTC throughout: pass ISO-8601 instants, and read them back the same way.
  • Prefer Find meeting times over guessing a slot - it scores candidates against everyone's free/busy and working hours.
  • Creating a meeting with attendees sends invitations immediately; there is no draft state for a meeting, so gate it if a human should approve.
  • Cancel is for meetings YOU organize; to get out of someone else's, decline it with Respond to event.
  • This connection covers the calendar only - mail is the separate Outlook integration.
