Use BusyCal with your AI assistant

Lets an AI assistant search your BusyCal events, tasks and free time on your Mac. It checks which calendar you mean and asks before changing anything.

You want to know what is on your calendar this week without opening BusyCal.
You ask when you are free next Tuesday for a 45-minute call.
You want to check what is pending in one of your task calendars.

Example

What do I have on Thursday across my work calendars, and when am I next free for 30 minutes?

Thursday on your Work calendar has 4 events and 2 tasks due. Your next 30-minute opening within working hours is 11:15 to 11:45. I haven't added or changed anything; say the word if you want me to book it.

Reschedule or move a BusyCal event with AI

Find an existing BusyCal event, check conflicts, travel time, reminders and notes around the new time, and confirm the exact change with you before it is saved.

Use it when

A meeting needs to move to another afternoon and you want to know what it clashes with
A recurring event should change for one occurrence only
An event must go to a different calendar without losing its reminders

Tools it uses

query_events
open_item
query_items
list_calendars
query_availability
move_event
update_event

Example

Move my 10:00 Design review on Thursday to 14:00 and check for clashes first.

Design review on Thursday, Work calendar, 10:00 to 10:45. At 14:00 there is one overlap: Vendor call from 14:00 to 14:30. The event has a 15-minute travel time, so the gap before it must stay free. The notes say "meet at 10", which will now be wrong. Shall I save the move to 14:00?

Find a free meeting slot in BusyCal with AI

Finds a free slot of the length you need within your working hours, checks it for conflicts and travel time, and offers a few options. It books nothing until you say yes.

Use it when

You need a 45-minute slot for a call before Friday.
You want the next open hour that is not right after another meeting.
You are scheduling across time zones and need the time read back in both.

Tools it uses

list_accounts
list_calendars
selected_items
query_availability
query_events
find_next_available

Example

Find me a free 45-minute slot for a call with Priya on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon, leaving room for travel.

Here are three options in your Europe/London time, all clear of conflicts with 15 minutes of buffer either side: Tuesday 14:00–14:45, Tuesday 16:30–17:15, and Wednesday 13:30–14:15. The Tuesday 14:00 slot sits after a short gap following your 13:00 meeting, so it is the tightest. Tell me which you want and I will book it.

Review my week in BusyCal and tell me what needs attention.

Your week of 9 to 13 June has one clash: Tuesday 2pm 'Design review' overlaps 'Client call' on your work calendar. Thursday has 6.5 hours of meetings with no free hour. Three tasks are overdue, two from last week. I have changed nothing. Want me to suggest times for the overdue tasks?

How BusyCal skills work

Connect BusyCal
The BusyCal MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Move my 10:00 Design review on Thursday to 14:00 and check for clashes first.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install BusyCal skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect BusyCal. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the BusyCal MCP server connected there.

BusyCal skills FAQ

What is a BusyCal agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each BusyCal skill describes one job, which BusyCal tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the BusyCal skills change anything on their own?

2 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in BusyCal.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect BusyCal; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the BusyCal MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the BusyCal MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The BusyCal MCP setup guide covers every client.
