How to connect vs code insiders to apple calendar

Pomeroy lists the assistants it finds on this Mac, so install VS Code Insiders first if it is not there yet.

  1. 1

    Download Pomeroy and switch on Apple Calendar.

    Open the download, drag Pomeroy into Applications, and open it. Pomeroy opens a setup window listing every app it can connect. macOS asks whether Pomeroy may access your calendar. The prompt names Pomeroy, and nothing is requested until you flip the toggle.

  2. 2

    Press Set up beside VS Code Insiders.

    Pomeroy opens the Insiders install link. VS Code Insiders adds pomeroy to your user MCP configuration and asks you to trust it before starting it the first time.

  3. 3

    Check VS Code Insiders.

    In VS Code Insiders, run MCP: List Servers from the Command Palette and pomeroy is listed as running. In Copilot chat, agent mode shows Pomeroy's tools.

  4. 4

    Ask VS Code Insiders something.

    Try “What’s on my calendar today?” and a real answer comes back.

Set up writes it for you. The documentation has the exact text, where it goes, and how to check it worked.

Can VS Code Insiders see my Apple Calendar?

Yes. Once you switch Calendar on in Pomeroy, VS Code Insiders can read today, any day, or a whole range of days, across every calendar your Mac shows. Times come back in your Mac's own time zone.

Can VS Code Insiders change my calendar?

Yes, when you ask. VS Code Insiders can create an event and change one you name, and it changes only the fields you mention. A recurring event changes only that one occurrence. It cannot delete an event.

Is it safe to connect VS Code Insiders to Apple Calendar?

Pomeroy reads your calendar on your Mac and sends nothing to a Pomeroy server. What VS Code Insiders reads becomes part of your conversation, the same as text you paste in. Calendar starts switched off, and you can switch it off again at any time. Pomeroy is an independent app, not made by Anthropic.

VS Code Insiders does not show Pomeroy's tools.

Then press Set up again in Pomeroy, under Settings › Assistants: every way Pomeroy sets an assistant up is safe to run twice. Then check that the app you asked about is switched on in Pomeroy: an app that is off serves no tools. Pomeroy's menu bar shows whether VS Code Insiders is connected right now.
