Security Notes

  • On first use, Outlook may display security prompts to allow script access
  • The tool only accesses your local Outlook client and does not send calendar data to external servers
  • All calendar operations are performed locally on your computer

Troubleshooting

  • Outlook Security Prompts: If you see security prompts from Outlook, you need to allow the script to access your Outlook data
  • Script Execution Policy: If you encounter script execution errors, you may need to adjust your PowerShell execution policy
  • Path Issues: Ensure the path in your MCP configuration file points to the correct location of the tool
