Calendly + ChatGPT
Drive Calendly scheduling from any AI agent: list booked events, fetch invitees, query event types, check availability windows, generate single-use scheduling links and cancel meetings. 12 tools, Bearer-token auth.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
CALENDLY_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
Setup:
- Sign in to https://calendly.com → Integrations & Apps → API & webhooks → Personal Access Tokens → Create new token.
- Give it a name (e.g. 'AnythingMCP'). The token is shown ONCE, copy it immediately. Personal Access Tokens never expire and inherit your user permissions.
- Set
CALENDLY_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKENto the token.
Authentication: Bearer token. Calendly also supports OAuth2 for multi-user apps but Personal Access Tokens are the right fit for single-account agent use.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in ChatGPT
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
ChatGPT connects to MCP servers as custom apps in developer mode, available on paid plans (not on Free). On Business and Enterprise workspaces an admin may have to allow it first.
- In ChatGPT, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
- Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click +.
- Enter a name and a short description, e.g. Name:
Calendly. - Under Connection, enter the MCP server URL
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDand create the connection. - When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) and allow access.

FAQ
Does the free ChatGPT plan work with custom MCP connectors? No. Custom MCP connections need developer mode, which is only on paid plans.
