Choose your path

Which path is yours depends on your Glean deployment, not on when you personally connect Google Calendar.

Onboarding

New setup

You're on a new Glean deployment, created on or after August 14, 2026. Authorize Google Calendar's MCP server once and Glean gets read and write calendar tools right away. Turn on data crawling and indexing to add permission-aware search over your meetings.

Previous setup

You're on an existing Glean deployment. Even if you're connecting Google Calendar for the first time, keep the setup you have to manage scopes, the shared Google Drive service account, and the crawl.
