- Claude Code / Codex: run
claude mcp add rarefriend -e RAREFRIEND_CLIENT_ID=your_id -e RAREFRIEND_CLIENT_SECRET=your_secret -- npx -y @rarefriend-ai/mcp - Cursor: add to
~/.cursor/mcp.jsonundermcpServers.rarefriendwithcommand: npx,args: ["-y", "@rarefriend-ai/mcp"], and the two env vars - Claude Desktop: add the same block to
claude_desktop_config.json - Restart the client, then try again
google_calendarnot in the list → offer to connect:connect_integration("google_calendar").google_calendarpresent → proceed directly.
- Tool not available → MCP not connected. Present these steps inline to the user:
Core Workflows
Check upcoming events
get_upcoming_google_events(limit?, days?)
Default: next 10 events. Use days to narrow to "today" or "this week".
Search for specific events
search_google_calendar_events(query, timeMin?, timeMax?)
Use when the user asks "find my meeting with X" or "what events do I have about Y this month".
Find available time
find_available_google_time(durationMinutes, preferredDays?,
preferredTimeRange?, attendeeEmails?)
Always call this before scheduling to avoid conflicts. For multi-person meetings, pass attendeeEmails — the tool checks all attendees' availability.
If the user gives a name instead of an email, resolve it first:
search_contacts("Alice Wang", searchMode="name")
→ extract email → pass to find_available_google_time
Source attribution: The search_contacts response includes sourceLabel for each contact (e.g. "Google Contacts", "LinkedIn (extension)"). Mention this when presenting the attendee — e.g. "Found Alice Wang in Google Contacts — scheduling with alice@example.com".
Create an event
create_google_calendar_event(
title*,
startTime*, — ISO 8601 with timezone, e.g. "2026-06-10T14:00:00+05:30"
endTime*,
description?,
attendees?, — string[] of email addresses
location?,
transparency? — 'opaque' (shows as busy) | 'transparent' (shows as free)
)
Use transparency: 'opaque' for real meetings. Use 'transparent' for focus blocks or reminders that shouldn't block attendees.
Reschedule and cancel
reschedule_google_event(eventId, startTime, endTime)
cancel_google_event(eventId)
Use search_google_calendar_events to find the eventId first.
Log notes after a meeting
After any meeting, capture relationship context:
create_note(contactId, content, isPinned?)
search_notes(query) — find past context before the next meeting
get_recent_notes(limit?) — see what's been discussed recently
To find the contactId for a meeting attendee:
search_contacts("attendee name", searchMode="name")
Connect Google Calendar
connect_integration("google_calendar")
Returns a connectUrl. Present as a clickable link:
"Open this link in your browser to connect Google Calendar. It expires in 15 minutes."
After connecting:
get_integration_sync_status("google_calendar")
Common Patterns
"Schedule a 30-min call with Alice next week"
search_contacts("Alice", searchMode="name")→ get her emailfind_available_google_time(30, preferredDays=["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday"], attendeeEmails=[alice@email])- Confirm slot with user
create_google_calendar_event(title, startTime, endTime, attendees=[alice@email])
"What's on my calendar this week?"
get_upcoming_google_events(limit=20, days=7)- Summarise by day, highlight multi-attendee meetings
"Block tomorrow morning for deep work"
find_available_google_time(120, preferredDays=["tomorrow"], preferredTimeRange={start:"09:00",end:"12:00"})create_google_calendar_event(title="Deep work", ..., transparency="transparent")
"Log notes after my call with Marcus"
search_contacts("Marcus", searchMode="name")→ get contactIdcreate_note(contactId, content)
