M365 Calendar

Microsoft 365 Calendar

CLI tool for Microsoft 365 Calendar via Microsoft Graph API.

Setup

Uses the same client/tenant from m365mail. Just authenticate with calendar scope:

# Authenticate (device code flow)
m365cal auth

If you haven't set up m365mail yet, do that first — the calendar tool shares its config.

Required Permissions

In your Entra ID app, add these Graph permissions:

• Calendars.ReadWrite (delegated)

Commands

View Events

m365cal today                     # Today's events
m365cal tomorrow                  # Tomorrow's events
m365cal week                      # Next 7 days

Updates with attendees automatically send update notifications.

Delete/Cancel Events

m365cal respond <event_id> accept
m365cal respond <event_id> tentative -m "Might be late"
m365cal respond <event_id> decline --silent  # Don't notify organizer

m365cal calendars

• -a, --attendees: Required attendees (emails)
• -o, --optional: Optional attendees

Meeting Invitations

When you create or update an event with attendees, Microsoft Graph automatically:

1. Sends meeting invitations via email
2. Adds the event to attendees' calendars (pending acceptance)
3. Sends update/cancellation notices when changed

No need to use m365mail separately — invitations are built into the calendar API.

Event IDs

Events are identified by long IDs. Commands accept:

• Full ID
• ID prefix (first 8+ chars usually unique)

Token Storage

• Config (shared): ~/.m365mail/config.json
• Calendar tokens: ~/.m365calendar/token_cache.json

Troubleshooting

"No cached token": Run m365cal auth

"Run m365mail setup first": Calendar shares credentials with mail. Set up mail first.

Permission denied: Ensure Calendars.ReadWrite permission is granted in Entra ID.
