Teams in all companies lose meeting notes and action items after discussions. This guide builds a permanent fix: Summary of the AI Assembly and Task Scheduler using Claude Code and MCP. It processes the transcripts into organized summaries with tasks, decisions, and calendar reminders, connects to Google Calendar and Gmail, and stores everything in SQLite.
MCP acts as a universal adapter between Claude and external systems, keeping the integration consistent. In this article, you will learn how to create and implement this integrated end-to-end workflow.
What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables Claude to interact with external systems through a schema-based interface that acts as an open standard. The MCP system provides Claude with a reliable way to access resources through a dedicated calling interface that works as an open standard.
The project uses MCP as its main framework. Claude accesses Google Calendar and Gmail functions through MCP tools that provide access to those services. The system maintains clean agent logic that developers can easily inspect and modify. You need to change the MCP server if you want to switch from Gmail to Outlook, but you don’t need to change the agent code.
| The concept of MCP | What it does | For example in this project |
|---|---|---|
| tools/list | Discover the tools available at runtime | Agent receives create_event, send_email |
| tools/telephone | Request a tool with structured JSON input | Claude calls creative_event with title and time |
| inputSchema | Validates all inputs before execution | Prevents incorrect calendar entries |
| tool_result | Returns structured output back to Claude | Returns the ID of the event after the calendar is created |
| isError | Signs of failure of the instrument level with kindness | Returns isError: true at API rate limit |
Agent Architecture
The Meeting Summary and Scheduling Agent will follow a multi-stage pipeline. Each section is isolated from the area, can fail, retry, or skip independently. This is what makes it a production grade and not just for demo purposes.
| The stage | Element | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Import | Text Loader | Upload the .txt/.vtt/.json transcript, adjust the text to normal |
| Analyze | Claude (LLM) | Extract summary, decisions, owners, deadlines at the prompt |
| Confirm | Schema Validator | Verify the output matches the expected JSON structure |
| Persist | SQLite store | Write meeting record, action items, decisions in DB |
| Shipping | MCP Tool Wrapper | Call Calendar MCP to create events, Gmail MCP to send report |
| Confirm | Auditor of effect | Verify successful tool calls; the line tries again with failure |
Getting started
The program uses Claude Code as its AI agent that operates through a user interface. MCP servers enable Claude Code to interact with external systems by acting as its own control mechanisms. You connect Google Calendar and Gmail as MCP servers and. After that, every session, Claude Code can call them just for you asking in plain English, no API wrappers, no async loops, no tool dispatch code.
The program enables Claude Code to access more than 300 external tools through its MCP connection. The program allows you to issue commands like “Create a Gmail draft and invite users to a feedback session” after which it handles all the remaining tasks. Follow the simple steps below and you’ll have an agent up and running in no time:
Step 1: Enter the Claude Code
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
claude --version # confirm install
claude # launch your first session You will enter an interactive terminal session after completing the login process. This agent goal allows you to send messages that will be converted into Claude’s commands. The program provides access to all slash commands and MCP tools through this interface.
Step 2: Set the Project Folder
Create a dedicated folder for the project. The project uses a CLAUDE.md file that resides in the root of the project to serve as a permanent memory of the Claude Code and instruction base. This area serves as a place where you provide all the project information Claude needs to know for future reference.
mkdir meeting-agent && cd meeting-agent
# Create the folder structure
mkdir -p transcripts summaries .claude/commands
# Open Claude Code in this project
claudeNow ask the cloud model to create a CLAUDE.md file. Here is a warning you can use:
Create a CLAUDE.md file for this project. This project analyzes the conference documents. Reads .txt or .vtt files in /written folder, extracts action items by owners and due dates, creates Google Calendar events with MCP, sends Gmail follow-up emails with MCP, and writes a summary /abbreviations. The MCP servers are named ‘gcal’ and ‘gmail’. Always provide a deadline from context: defaults to 3 business days if not specified. Owners must match the names mentioned in the transcript.
Step 3: Connect MCP servers via Claude Code CLI
The system performs its main functions in this area. Claude Code’s built-in mcp command allows users to register MCP servers through the use of a terminal. The process requires the execution of one command on each server.
3a. Connect Google Workspace MCP (Calendar + Gmail)
The google_workspace_mcp server offers two services with its single server that includes Calendar and Gmail functions. The process starts with setting up Google OAuth authentication in the Google Cloud Console before moving on to server registration.
Step 1: Add MCP server to Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport stdio google-workspace
-- npx -y google-workspace-mcp
--client-id YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
--client-secret YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET ] Step 2: Make sure it is registered correctly
claude mcp listExpected output:
google-workspace stdio npx -y google-workspace-mcp
3b. Verify with Google
The first time you use the MCP server requires you to authenticate with your Google account. Use the auth command within a Claude Code session to enable authentication.
The server’s authentication process will begin with a Code Claude that requires users to open a web browser. The user needs to login and provide the necessary permissions before the tokens are saved to their device. You only do this once.
3c. Verify Tools Are Available
Inside Claude’s Code, use the builtin /mcp command to see all the loaded tools:
# Inside Claude Code session
/mcp
# You should see something like:
# google-workspace (connected)
# create_calendar_event
# update_calendar_event
# send_email
# create_draft
# list_calendar_events
# ... and moreStep 4: Create /process-meeting Slash Command
Slash commands in Claude Code markup files are stored in .claude/commands/. The file name becomes the command name. Content is a notification that Claude uses when you use it. You can use this method to convert a complex process that requires many steps into a single command.
# Create the slash command file
touch .claude/commands/process-meeting.mdNow ask Claude Code to write a command for you, this is the correct way to do it:
Write a slash command file for .claude/commands/process-meeting.md. Command takes $ARGUMENTS as a text file name. The process should
- read the file from /transcripts/$COMMUNICATIONS
- remove all action items by owner (task) deadline (and priority)
- create a Google Calendar event for each action item using the MCP server
- send a Gmail to each owner summarizing their activities
- write a clean summary into /summaries. A detailed command needs to meet standard production requirements.
Step 5: Using the agent
Place a sample transcript in /written folder and run the command. That’s the whole user experience.
# Copy your transcript in
cp ~/Downloads/team-standup-march24.txt transcripts/
# Open Claude Code
claude
# Run the slash command
/process-meeting team-standup-march24.txtOutput:
The conclusion
What he builds traditionally takes weeks: DB schema, pipes, retries, OAuth, APIs. With Claude Code and MCP, it was done in an afternoon using prompts and a few CLI commands.
The model is simple: you are the Premier, Claude Code is the developer, MCP servers are ready for integration. He explains the requirements with CLAUDE.md, slash commands, and commands. Claude delivers, handling real complexity and scaling with just new instructions.
