Create a new Apple Calendar for a launch, an office move or a visiting group, give it a clear name and color, and retire it when the work is done.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Apple Calendar to Claude?
Connecting Apple Calendar to Claude takes two steps. First, connect Apple Calendar in Elaichi, where the sign-in step is pasting the Apple Calendar API key you are given, with no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, after which Claude asks you to sign in to Elaichi as yourself.
Does Apple Calendar work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Apple Calendar is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, the Elaichi Agent and any other MCP client. You connect Apple Calendar once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Apple Calendar data?
With Apple Calendar connected, an AI agent can put a new event on your calendar, look up an existing event, change its time, title or details, and cancel it when a meeting falls through. It can also list your Apple Calendar calendars, find a particular one, create a new calendar for a project or team, rename or recolor it, and remove it when it is no longer needed.
Does connecting Apple Calendar give the AI access to every calendar?
No. When someone connects Apple Calendar through Elaichi, the AI works only within the calendars that person can already see and edit in Apple Calendar. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example by blocking deletions or limiting a team to specific actions, but it can never grant access to an Apple Calendar that the person does not already have.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Apple Calendar?
Yes. In Elaichi, restrictions on the Apple Calendar connector apply per action, so you can allow creating and updating events while blocking event deletion or calendar deletion entirely. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to an Apple Calendar connection when someone leaves?
When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to Apple Calendar through every AI client ends at once. If they had shared their Apple Calendar connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else until an admin decides otherwise. Disconnecting Apple Calendar once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other connected client at the same time.
Does the Apple Calendar MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Apple Calendar is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.
Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for Apple Calendar?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Apple Calendar. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every Apple Calendar call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Apple Calendar?
Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to Apple Calendar: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
