Copilot Studio

How to use Google Calendar with Copilot Studio

You want Google Calendar inside Copilot Studio so it can schedule meetings when everyone is free, triage incoming calendar invitations, keep recurring meeting details current, and remove obsolete calendar events — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.

Create your Google Calendar gateway

The gateway is the thing Copilot Studio connects to, and it is where you decide which Google Calendar tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.

Create an Arcade account

Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Google Calendar tools

In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Google Calendar tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
Copy your gateway URL

Every client below needs it.

Add an MCP tool to your agent

In Copilot Studio, open your agent → Tools → Add a tool → Model Context Protocol → New tool.
Point it at your gateway

Give the server a name and description, put your gateway URL in Server URL, set Authentication to OAuth 2.0 and Type to Dynamic discovery.
Authorize and try it out

Saving redirects you to Arcade to approve access. Then start a conversation and use your Google Calendar tools — Arcade authorizes each service just in time.

Use tool permissions and approvals to prevent an agent from deleting events or changing meetings without a person checking first. Pair it with Contextual Access policies so scheduling stays scoped to the calendars and actions the agent needs.
