FAQ from google-calendars-mcp-server-by-cdata

Is this server read-only?

Yes, the README explicitly states this is a read-only MCP server. For full read, write, update, and delete capabilities, CData offers a separate free beta MCP Server for Google Calendars.

What are the runtime requirements?

You need Java (to run the JAR), Maven (to build the server), and the CData JDBC Driver for Google Calendars installed and licensed (trial or full license key).

Where does my data live?

All data stays on your local machine. The server connects directly to Google Calendars via the JDBC driver and does not send data to any third party.

What transport does the server use?

The server uses stdio transport, so it can only be used with clients that run on the same machine as the server.

Does the server require authentication?

Yes, because the JDBC driver uses OAuth. During setup, you run the connection string utility and must authenticate in your browser to obtain and refresh credentials.
