    ...,
    "calendar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "caldav-mcp"

Development

Quick Start

Run the MCP server in development mode with auto-reload:

npm run dev

This will run the TypeScript code directly with watch mode and automatically load environment variables from .env.

Manual Build

Alternatively, you can compile TypeScript to JavaScript and run it:

1. Compile:

npx tsc

2. Run:

node dist/index.js
