## Verdicts

**Calendly API + MCP.** Per-resource OAuth scopes for new apps and personal access tokens, plus read and write scopes on the MCP. Booking through the API needs a paid seat, and Free users get a 403.

**Cozi Family Organizer.** Documented read-only calendar exchange. No official external-agent write API verified.

## Before you call either

### Calendly API + MCP

1. Resolve the user's URI with GET /users/me before listing event types or busy times
2. Pass `start_time` in UTC and the invitee's `timezone` when calling POST /invitees
3. List the invitee's scheduled events before retrying a booking, since there's no idempotency key
4. Read `X-RateLimit-Reset` on 429 and wait that many seconds
5. Use a client with dynamic client registration for mcp.calendly.com, since it has no static client ID

### Cozi Family Organizer

1. Use official read-only feeds for calendar visibility.
2. Make edits in the originating calendar and allow for the refresh delay.
