Google Calendar MCP OAuth Proxy

This Worker acts as the OAuth boundary between an MCP client such as Codex and Google's official Calendar MCP.

        | Google access token
        v
Google Calendar MCP
https://calendarmcp.googleapis.com/mcp/v1

The client never receives the Google OAuth client secret. Google access and refresh tokens are stored in the encrypted OAuth grant props managed by the Cloudflare OAuth provider. The protected /mcp handler replaces the client's local bearer token with the user's Google access token before forwarding MCP traffic upstream.

Google scopes

wrangler.jsonc defines the Google Calendar scopes in GOOGLE_OAUTH_SCOPES:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.calendarlist.readonly
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events.freebusy
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events.readonly
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.calendars

The Worker automatically adds email profile because the callback uses Google's user-info endpoint to identify the authorized user.

The Google authorization request also uses access_type=offline and prompt=consent so Google returns a refresh token.

Local secrets

Copy the example file:

cp .dev.vars.example .dev.vars

Set:

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=<Google OAuth web client ID>
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=<Google OAuth client secret>
COOKIE_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<strong random secret>
HOSTED_DOMAIN=<optional Google Workspace domain restriction>

GOOGLE_OAUTH_SCOPES and GOOGLE_MCP_URL are non-secret Worker variables in wrangler.jsonc.

Google Cloud OAuth client

Use a Google OAuth Web application client.

The authorized redirect URI must be the public hostname of this Worker or tunnel plus /callback:

https://mcp-auth.example.com/callback

Add the Calendar scopes listed above to the Google Auth Platform consent/data-access configuration.

Run locally

Install dependencies and generate Worker types:

npm install
npm run cf-typegen

Start Wrangler locally on port 5555:

npm run dev

The local endpoint is:

http://localhost:5555/mcp

OAuth requires a public HTTPS callback, so for end-to-end local testing use a Cloudflare Tunnel.

Stable named tunnel

A stable hostname is preferable because the same callback must be registered in Google Cloud.

npx wrangler dev --tunnel-name=mcp-google-auth --tunnel

Configure the named tunnel hostname to route to the Wrangler development server. For example:

https://mcp-auth.example.com  ->  local Wrangler dev server

Then register:

https://mcp-auth.example.com/callback

as the Google OAuth redirect URI.

The MCP URL exposed to Codex is:

https://mcp-auth.example.com/mcp

Codex configuration

Because this Worker is the OAuth authorization server seen by Codex, Codex does not need the Google client ID or Google client secret.

[mcp_servers.google_calendar_proxy]
enabled = true
url = "https://mcp-auth.example.com/mcp"
auth = "oauth"

Then authenticate:

codex mcp login google_calendar_proxy

The expected flow is:

1. Codex discovers this Worker's OAuth endpoints.
2. Codex registers/authenticates with this Worker.
3. The Worker sends the browser to Google.
4. Google returns to /callback on the Worker/tunnel.
5. The Worker exchanges Google's authorization code using GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET.
6. Codex receives a Worker-issued OAuth token.
7. Calls to /mcp are forwarded to Google's official Calendar MCP using the user's Google access token.

Token refresh behavior

Google's refresh token is retained in encrypted OAuth grant props. The proxy keeps a bounded, isolate-local LRU cache of Google access tokens, removes entries when they reach the refresh window, and caps the cache at 100 users. If the stored access token is expired, or Google's MCP returns 401, the Worker uses the Google refresh token plus the Worker-side client secret to mint a new Google access token and retries once.

The in-memory cache is an optimization only. A new Worker isolate can always refresh from the encrypted grant props.

Legacy grants

OAuth grants created before refresh-token support contain only the original Google access token plus user metadata. The proxy detects those grants and continues using their existing access token while Google still accepts it. Once Google rejects that token, the Worker returns 401 invalid_token so the MCP connection can be reauthorized rather than attempting a refresh with missing credentials.
