Interview Scheduling Assistant

Automates interview scheduling by finding available times across multiple calendars, sending invites to candidates and interviewers, handling rescheduling, and sending reminders.

Toolkits Needed

You'll need access to these toolkits in your Arcade MCP Gateway:

GoogleCalendar
OutlookCalendar
Gmail
Slack

Setup Guide

1

Sign up for Arcade

Create a free Arcade account to get access to MCP Gateway.

Create Arcade Account →
2

Create a new MCP Gateway

Navigate to MCP Gateway page in Arcade, then click Create MCP Gateway.

Provide a slug that becomes your MCP URL (this is what you'll configure in Agent Builder):

Example: If you choose slug my-agent, your MCP URL will be:
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/my-agent

Select the specific tools you need

Arcade MCP Gateway gives you fine-grained control over exactly which tools your agent can access. Select these specific tools from the toolkits:

GoogleCalendar.ListEvents
GoogleCalendar.CreateEvent
GoogleCalendar.UpdateEvent
OutlookCalendar.ListEventsInTimeRange
OutlookCalendar.CreateEvent
OutlookCalendar.GetEvent
Gmail.ListEmails
Gmail.SendEmail
Gmail.ReplyToEmail
Slack.SendMessage
Slack.ListConversations
Slack.GetMessages
Choose your tools in Arcade MCP Gateway

Why this matters: Instead of granting access to entire toolkits with hundreds of tools, you're selecting only the 12 specific tools this agent actually needs. This precision reduces risk and keeps your agent focused.
