add-gcal-tool
This Claude Code skill integrates Google Calendar into agent workflows via the `@cocal/google-calendar-mcp` server, enabling listing and searching calendars, querying event free/busy status, and creating or updating events across multiple calendars and accounts. Use it when agents need calendar access without exposing raw OAuth credentials, the skill defers token management to OneCLI, which intercepts and validates all requests at the gateway layer.

# Add Google Calendar Tool (OneCLI-native)
This skill wires [`@cocal/google-calendar-mcp`](https://github.com/cocal-com/google-calendar-mcp) into selected agent groups. The MCP server reads stub credentials containing the `onecli-managed` placeholder; the OneCLI gateway intercepts outbound calls to `calendar.googleapis.com` / `oauth2.googleapis.com` and swaps the bearer for the real OAuth token from its vault.
**Why this package (and not gongrzhe's):** `@gongrzhe/server-calendar-autoauth-mcp` only supports the `primary` calendar and exposes 5 tools (no `list_calendars`). `@cocal/google-calendar-mcp` explicitly supports multi-calendar and multi-account, and is actively maintained.
Tools exposed (surfaced as `mcp__calendar__<name>`, exact set depends on version — run `tools/list` against the MCP server to enumerate): `list-calendars`, `list-events`, `search-events`, `create-event`, `update-event`, `delete-event`, `get-event`, `list-colors`, `get-freebusy`, `get-current-time`, plus multi-account management tools.
**Why this pattern:** v2's invariant is that containers never receive raw API keys (CHANGELOG 2.0.0). Same stub pattern `/add-gmail-tool` uses. This skill is deliberately a sibling, not a combined "Google Workspace" skill — installs independently and removes cleanly.
## Phase 1: Pre-flight
### Verify OneCLI has Google Calendar connected
```bash
onecli apps get --provider google-calendar
```
Expected: `"connection": { "status": "connected" }` with scopes including `calendar.readonly` and `calendar.events`.
If not connected, tell the user:
> Open the OneCLI web UI at http://127.0.0.1:10254, go to Apps → Google Calendar, and click Connect. Sign in with the Google account the agent should act as. `calendar.readonly` + `calendar.events` are the minimum useful scopes.
### Verify stub credentials exist
The stub lives at `~/.calendar-mcp/` by convention (shared with `/add-gmail-tool`'s sibling). cocal doesn't default to this path (it uses `~/.config/google-calendar-mcp/tokens.json`) — we override via env vars below so it reads our stubs instead.
```bash
ls -la ~/.calendar-mcp/gcp-oauth.keys.json ~/.calendar-mcp/credentials.json 2>&1
```
If both exist with `onecli-managed`:
```bash
grep -l onecli-managed ~/.calendar-mcp/gcp-oauth.keys.json ~/.calendar-mcp/credentials.json
```
...skip to Phase 2. If either file has real credentials (no `onecli-managed`), **STOP** — back up and delete before proceeding.
If absent, write them:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.calendar-mcp
cat > ~/.calendar-mcp/gcp-oauth.keys.json <<'EOF'
{
"installed": {
"client_id": "onecli-managed.apps.googleusercontent.com",
"client_secret": "onecli-managed",
"redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:3000/oauth2callback"]
}
}
EOF
cat > ~/.calendar-mcp/credentials.json <<'EOF'
{
"access_token": "onecli-managed",
"refresh_token": "onecli-managed",
"token_type": "Bearer",
"expiry_date": 99999999999999,
"scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events"
}
EOF
chmod 600 ~/.calendar-mcp/*.json
```
### Verify mount allowlist covers the path
```bash
cat ~/.config/nanoclaw/mount-allowlist.json
```
`~/.calendar-mcp` must sit under an `allowedRoots` entry.
### Check agent secret-mode
For each target agent group, confirm OneCLI will inject the Google Calendar token:
```bash
onecli agents list
```
`secretMode: all` is sufficient. If `selective`, explicitly assign the Calendar secret.
## Phase 2: Apply Code Changes
### Check if already applied
```bash
grep -q 'CALENDAR_MCP_VERSION' container/Dockerfile && \
echo "ALREADY APPLIED — skip to Phase 3"
```
### Add MCP server to Dockerfile
Edit `container/Dockerfile`. Find the pinned-version ARG block and add:
```dockerfile
ARG CALENDAR_MCP_VERSION=2.6.1
```
If `/add-gmail-tool` has already been applied, the pnpm global-install block already exists with its `zod-to-json-schema@3.22.5` pin. Just append the calendar package — **the calendar-mcp uses `zod@4.x` and does NOT need that pin**, but it's harmless to share the block:
```dockerfile
RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pnpm \
pnpm install -g \
"@gongrzhe/server-gmail-autoauth-mcp@${GMAIL_MCP_VERSION}" \
"@cocal/google-calendar-mcp@${CALENDAR_MCP_VERSION}" \
"zod-to-json-schema@3.22.5"
```
If `/add-gmail-tool` hasn't been applied, install Calendar standalone:
```dockerfile
RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pnpm \
pnpm install -g "@cocal/google-calendar-mcp@${CALENDAR_MCP_VERSION}"
```
`container/agent-runner/src/providers/claude.ts` derives the allow-pattern dynamically from each group's `mcpServers` map (`Object.keys(this.mcpServers).map(mcpAllowPattern)`), so registering `calendar` in Phase 3 automatically allows `mcp__calendar__*`.
### Install the dependency-guard test
`@cocal/google-calendar-mcp` is a stdio CLI installed in the image, not an imported module, so `tsc` and the runtime tests never reference it — only the Dockerfile edit above proves it is present. Copy the guard test into the host test tree (vitest) so the Dockerfile `ARG` + install line stay covered:
```bash
cp .claude/skills/add-gcal-tool/gcal-dockerfile.test.ts src/gcal-dockerfile.test.ts
pnpm exec vitest run src/gcal-dockerfile.test.ts
```
`cp` overwrites in place, so re-running this skill is safe.
### Rebuild the container image
```bash
./container/build.sh
```
## Phase 3: Wire Per-Agent-Group
For each agent group, persist two changes to the **central DB** (`data/v2.db`): the `mcpServers.calendar` entry and an `additionalMounts` entry for `.calendar-mcp`. Both flow through `materializeContainerJson` on every spawn, so editing `groups/<folder>/container.json` by hand does **not** stick — that file is regenerated from the DB.
### Register the MCP server
For each chosen `<group-id>` (use `ncl groups list` to enumerate):
```bash
ncl groups config add-mcp-server \
--id <group-id> \
--name calendar \
--commandAdd Atomic Chat MCP server so the container agent can call local models served by the Atomic Chat desktop app via its OpenAI-compatible API.
Use Codex (CLI + AppServer) as the full agent provider — planning, tool orchestration, native compaction, MCP tools, session resume — in place of the Claude Agent SDK. ChatGPT subscription or OPENAI_API_KEY. Per-group via agent_provider. Distinct from using OpenAI as an MCP tool (where Claude remains the planner).
Add a monitoring dashboard to NanoClaw. Installs @nanoco/nanoclaw-dashboard and a pusher that sends periodic JSON snapshots.
Add DeltaChat channel integration via @deltachat/stdio-rpc-server. Native adapter — no Chat SDK bridge. Email-based messaging with end-to-end encryption.
Add Discord bot channel integration via Chat SDK.
Add Emacs as a channel. Opens an interactive chat buffer and org-mode integration so you can talk to NanoClaw from within Emacs (Doom, Spacemacs, or vanilla). Local HTTP bridge — no bot token or external service needed.
