Security Report

5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

This is a well-structured Cal.com MCP server with proper authentication, secure credential handling, and good input validation. The server uses lazy credential loading (credentials only required at tool call time, not at startup), stores the API key in environment variables only, and implements proper URL encoding for path parameters. Minor code quality observations around broad error catching and logging practices do not significantly impact the security posture. Supply chain analysis found 4 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

Cal.com scheduling MCP server - manage bookings, event types, and availability directly from your AI assistant.

Why this server?

Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI to your Cal.com account. Create bookings, check availability, manage event types, and view schedules - all via natural language.

Install

Two ways to run this server — pick the one that fits.

Option 1 — Hosted (zero setup)

No local runtime, no env vars on your machine — secrets are AES-256-GCM encrypted server-side via HashiCorp Vault.

  1. Sign up at aiwerkmcp.com.
  2. Install Cal.com from the catalog and paste your CAL_API_KEY.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude.ai, Cursor, Hermes, …) at your hosted endpoint:
    https://bridge.aiwerk.ch/u/<your-user-id>/mcp
    
    with your Bearer token.

All 12 tools, 3 resources, and 3 prompts appear. Install other AIWerk recipes from the same bridge.

Option 2 — Self-hosted (npx)

Run directly — you manage the API key:

CAL_API_KEY=cal_live_your_api_key_here npx @aiwerk/mcp-server-cal

Or wire it into your MCP client config — see Configuration below.

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@aiwerk/mcp-server-cal"],
      "env": {
        "CAL_API_KEY": "cal_live_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project or ~/.cursor/mcp.json globally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@aiwerk/mcp-server-cal"],
      "env": {
        "CAL_API_KEY": "cal_live_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

OpenClaw / Universal Recipe

{
  "name": "cal",
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["@aiwerk/mcp-server-cal"],
  "env": {
    "CAL_API_KEY": "${CAL_API_KEY}"
  }
}

Environment Variables

VariableRequiredDefaultDescription
CAL_API_KEYYes (on tool call)-Cal.com API key (cal_ or cal_live_ prefix)
CAL_BASE_URLNohttps://api.cal.com/v2Override the Cal.com API base URL

The server starts and responds to tools/list without CAL_API_KEY. The key is only required when an actual tool is called (lazy credentials pattern).

Getting Your API Key

  1. Go to Cal.com Settings
  2. Create a new API key
  3. Copy the key (starts with cal_live_ for production)

Security

  • Never commit your API key to version control
  • Use environment variables or a secrets manager
  • The server only reads CAL_API_KEY at tool call time, never logs it
