## What it does

Everything runs through Rube MCP and Composio's `outlook` toolkit. The agent calls `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` first, reads the current tool schemas, then picks the right one: `OUTLOOK_CALENDAR_CREATE_EVENT` to book something, `OUTLOOK_LIST_EVENTS` or `OUTLOOK_GET_CALENDAR_VIEW` to look around, `OUTLOOK_UPDATE_CALENDAR_EVENT` to change details, `OUTLOOK_DELETE_EVENT` and `OUTLOOK_DECLINE_EVENT` to back out, `OUTLOOK_FIND_MEETING_TIMES` to hunt for a slot.

Setup comes first. Add `https://rube.app/mcp` as an MCP server in your client config, then call `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with the `outlook` toolkit and finish Microsoft OAuth through the link it returns. Until the connection reads ACTIVE, nothing will run.

Be careful with writes. A free/busy lookup is not permission to send invitations — adding attendees fires off emails right away, and deleting with `send_notifications=true` notifies everyone. Pass an attendee or category list on update and it replaces the old one entirely. Time zones are mandatory, and which names are accepted depends on the adapter, so daylight-saving edges deserve a second look.

## When to use it
- book an Outlook meeting with attendees and a Teams link
- find a free hour across several calendars
- move an event and notify the guests
- decline an invitation and propose another time
- pull every event in a date range, recurring ones included

## Example prompts
- Create an Outlook meeting tomorrow at 10:00, time zone America/New_York, with a Teams link
- Find a free one-hour slot for me and two colleagues this week
- Move the event with `event_id` one hour later and let attendees know

# Outlook Calendar Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Outlook Calendar operations through Composio's Outlook toolkit via Rube MCP.

## Prerequisites

- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Outlook connection via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `outlook`
- Always call `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` first to get current tool schemas

## Setup

**Get Rube MCP**: Add `https://rube.app/mcp` as an MCP server in your client configuration. The target account must still authenticate through the returned connection flow and grant the required scopes.


1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` responds
2. Call `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `outlook`
3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Microsoft OAuth
4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

## Calendar and notification authority

Discover current tool schemas and resolve the exact mailbox/calendar/event occurrence. A search/free-busy request does not authorize invitations, changes, cancellations or declines. Confirm the approved recipient set, content and series-versus-occurrence scope before those writes, which may notify attendees immediately. Preserve existing attendee/category lists unless replacement is intended; reconcile an uncertain create/update before retrying. Treat timezone examples as adapter-specific: verify supported zones, offsets and daylight-saving boundaries; use calendarView for expanded recurring occurrences and spanning events. Minimize shared calendar details.

## Core Workflows

### 1. Create Calendar Events

**When to use**: User wants to schedule a new event on their Outlook calendar

**Tool sequence**:
1. `OUTLOOK_LIST_CALENDARS` - List available calendars [Optional]
2. `OUTLOOK_CALENDAR_CREATE_EVENT` - Create the event [Required]

**Key parameters**:
- `subject`: Event title
- `start_datetime`: ISO 8601 start time (e.g., '2025-01-03T10:00:00')
- `end_datetime`: ISO 8601 end time (must be after start)
```
