Troubleshooting

"CALENDLY_ACCESS_TOKEN is required"

You have not set the CALENDLY_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable. Make sure it is configured in your claude_desktop_config.json (under env) or exported in your shell before running Claude Code.

401 Unauthorized errors

Your Calendly Personal Access Token is invalid or has been revoked. Generate a new token at Settings > Integrations & Apps > API in Calendly and update your configuration.

429 Rate limit errors

The Calendly API enforces rate limits. The MCP server automatically retries with exponential backoff, but if you see persistent rate limit errors, reduce the frequency of requests or wait a few minutes.

Connection errors

Verify you have internet connectivity
Check that api.calendly.com is reachable from your network
If behind a proxy, ensure httpx can reach the Calendly API

Premium tools not appearing

Verify your LICENSE_KEY is set correctly in the environment
Check the server logs for license validation errors (LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG)
Ensure your premium subscription is active at nyxtools.lemonsqueezy.com

Server not starting in Claude Desktop

Verify the command path is correct (calendly-mcp must be on your PATH)
Try running calendly-mcp directly in a terminal to check for errors
On Windows, you may need to use the full path to the executable
