Do I need a Google API key to use this skill?

No, this skill uses Rube MCP which handles the connection via a simple OAuth link, eliminating the need for manual API key management.

How does the skill handle timezones?

It uses standard IANA timezone identifiers (e.g., 'America/New_York') to ensure scheduling accuracy across different geographical regions.

Can I use natural language like 'next Tuesday' for dates?

While the skill requires ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD) for API reliability, Claude is able to convert your natural language requests into the correct format automatically.

Can I manage attendees by their names?

The Google Calendar API requires email addresses for attendee management. You can use integrated Gmail tools to resolve contact names to emails before updating events.

Does it support recurring events?

Yes, you can list specific instances of recurring events and search for them within defined time bounds.
