Google Calendar

Schedules and meetings in chat context.

Google Calendar holds customer calls, launch milestones, and team holds. Connect it in Faction so chat can list events and find open slots, scoped to the Google accounts your workspace allows.

Connect once at the org level

Set up Google Calendar a single time instead of asking everyone to paste their own keys into Claude.

Workspace boundaries

Give ops and other teams the Google Calendar tools they need without one shared bundle for the whole company.

Tool-scoped access

Each workspace URL exposes only the Google Calendar actions admins turn on, not every connector in your org.

Works across AI clients

Use the same workspace URL in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP client your team prefers.

Step by step

Connect Google Calendar to Claude

Six steps from a fresh organization to chatting with Google Calendar inside Claude.

01

Create your Faction organization

Sign up free and create an organization. This is where admins connect tools once, so teammates never wire up their own integrations.

02

Connect Google Calendar from the catalog

Open the integration catalog in Faction and connect Google Calendar with OAuth. Pick a shared org connection or let each teammate sign in with their own account.

03

Bundle Google Calendar into a workspace

Create a workspace for the team that needs it, such as ops, and add Google Calendar. Admins choose exactly which tools are on for that workspace.

04

Copy your workspace MCP URL

Every workspace exposes one MCP URL with only the tools you enabled. Copy it from the workspace settings in Faction.

05

Add the URL to Claude

In Claude, go to Settings, then Connectors and add your Faction workspace URL.

  • Open Claude and go to Settings, then Connectors.
  • Choose Add custom connector and paste your Faction workspace MCP URL.
  • Approve the connection. Claude lists only the tools from the workspace you enabled.

06

Start chatting

Ask Claude to use Google Calendar in plain language. Faction handles auth and scopes behind one URL.

  • "What customer calls do I have this week?"
  • "Find a 30-minute slot with Jordan and Sam next Tuesday."
  • "Summarize launch-related events on the marketing calendar."

Your workspace URL

One link connects your whole team.

Faction gives your team a shared AI workspace that plugs into the tools you already use. Each workspace gets one link (an MCP URL) that includes only the tools your admins turn on. Paste it into Claude once and everyone is connected. No keys to copy, nothing to set up per person.

FAQs

  • Do I have to set up Google Calendar for every teammate?

    No. An admin connects Google Calendar once at the org level. Teammates just add the workspace URL to Claude and start chatting.

  • How does authentication work?

    OAuth sign-in. Each member connects their own Google account to access their calendar.

  • Does this work with Claude?

    Yes. Claude supports remote MCP connectors, so you can point it at any Faction workspace URL and use the tools that workspace allows.

  • Can I control which tools Claude can use?

    Yes. Each workspace exposes only the tools admins turn on, so the URL you share never grants more than intended.

  • Does each teammate connect their own Google Calendar?

    Usually yes. Calendar access is per user so chat only sees events that person can already view. Admins can also use a shared calendar connection when that fits your policy.
