How to integrate Generate iCAL using MCP

Generate downloadable iCalendar (.ics) files or shareable URLs from event details. This guide creates an MCP server from Arthur's Generate iCAL template — tools preconfigured against https://api.apyhub.com — and finishes by sharing the server's MCP swagger documentation.

Steps

  1. Open the Secrets vault and create a secret named GENERATE_ICAL_API_KEY holding your API key. Create a token from your ApyHub account (My Apps page) and send it in the apy-token request header.

    Open the Secrets vault to store the Generate iCAL credential before using the template

    Start the New secret wizard

    Name the secret GENERATEICALAPIKEY — servers reference it by this name

  2. Go to the REST API Templates gallery and search for Generate iCAL.

    Record what the credential is for so it stays recognizable

    Continue to the protected value step

  3. Click Use template on the Generate iCAL card to open the server-creation dialog.

    Enter the credential value — a demo value here; use your real key when adopting the integration

    Review the generated secret reference syntax

  4. Review the server name and select GENERATE_ICAL_API_KEY in the credential field — the dialog only accepts vault secrets, and it lists every tool that will be created.

    Store the GENERATEICALAPIKEY secret in the vault

    Open the REST API template gallery

    Search the gallery for the Generate iCAL integration

  5. Click Create server. Arthur creates the server, applies the authentication, and generates all the tools.

    Open the Generate iCAL template with its preconfigured tools

    Name the server after the integration it provides

    Pick the GENERATEICALAPIKEY secret from the vault suggestions

    Select the stored credential

    Create the Generate iCAL server with its preconfigured tools

  6. Open the server's Tools tab to review the generated tools.

    Review the tools generated from the Generate iCAL template

  7. Open the server's Connect section and click Share the MCP swagger documentation — Arthur generates the public documentation link and QR code for this server.

    Open the server's Connect section, where the MCP endpoint and its documentation live

    Open the MCP swagger documentation share panel

    Show the generated swagger documentation link and QR code for this server

Confirm it worked

The server appears with 1 preconfigured tool(s): generate_ical_event. The Connect section offers the MCP swagger documentation — a shareable page with setup instructions for any AI client.

Good to know

  • Create an iCalendar event file or a shareable iCalendar URL from event details (summary, description, organizer, attendees, time, and optional recurrence). Requires an ApyHub API token.
  • This integration requires a credential (api-key). Get one at https://apyhub.com/.
  • Official API documentation: https://apyhub.com/utility/generator-ical
  • Editing a tool later never changes the template — templates are starting points, and the server is fully yours after creation.
