Connect Google Calendar to VS Code

To use Google Calendar in VS Code, connect your Google Calendar account in Manyplug and add Manyplug to VS Code once. VS Code then gets 8 Google Calendar tools, for example: “List calendars”, “Events”, and “Event”. It takes about 3 minutes and works on the free plan.

Connect Google Calendar Free plan, no card

1. Connect Google Calendar in Manyplug

Click “Connect Google Calendar” and sign in on Google Calendar’s own page. Manyplug never sees your password.

2. Add Manyplug to VS Code

GitHub Copilot in agent mode.

Click “Install in VS Code” or add the server to .vscode/mcp.json.

Install in VS Code

{
  "servers": {
    "manyplug": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://manyplug.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Start the server in the MCP list and sign in when VS Code asks.

Questions

Can I connect two Google Calendar accounts to VS Code?

Yes. Connect each one in Manyplug under its own name, for example Work and Personal. VS Code can use one of them or all at once.

Will VS Code change anything in Google Calendar without asking?

By default these actions wait for your approval before they run: “Delete an event”. Other changes follow your rules, which you can make stricter per account.

Do I need an official Google Calendar MCP server for this?

No. Manyplug connects to Google Calendar itself (you sign in on Google Calendar’s page) and gives VS Code the tools through one MCP address, together with your other services.

Is it free to connect VS Code to Manyplug?

Yes. New workspaces get 14 days of Pro free, then the free plan keeps going with 150 actions a month and up to 3 connected accounts. No card needed. Paid plans start at $5 a month.

Does VS Code see my passwords or API keys?

No. Keys are entered on Manyplug’s own pages, stored encrypted with a separate key per account, and the AI only receives tool results.
