Cal.com is the scheduling layer behind many SaaS products and consulting practices. Connecting Cal.com to clariBI surfaces every booking, event type, and attendee record into your AI analyses.
Why connect Cal.com
Scheduling questions ("how many bookings did we get from the pricing-page widget last week?") usually require exporting CSVs or building reports manually.
With Cal.com connected, you can ask "Which event types had the most no-shows last month?", "Average meeting duration by host this quarter?", or "How many bookings came from the demo CTA in October?" and the AI engine routes through Cal.com.
How the connection works
clariBI talks to Cal.com through its hosted MCP server at https://mcp.cal.com/mcp. Authentication uses an OAuth flow that clariBI registers itself for (no developer console setup on your side). Tokens stay encrypted server-side and never leave clariBI in clear form.

Available tools
clariBI exposes the read-only Cal.com tools that the vendor's MCP server publishes at connection time. Write operations (create, update, delete, send, refund) are filtered out by a name-pattern blocklist before any tool reaches the analysis engine, so connecting Cal.com cannot modify data on the vendor side.
The exact tool inventory depends on the Cal.com features your account has access to. After connecting, try a few natural-language questions to see what Cal.com data clariBI can pull.
Data flow during analysis
When you ask a question that maps to Cal.com, the AI engine routes to the right tool, reads the result, and pairs the answer with a chart you can pin to a dashboard.
