Temporal Cortex — Calendar Scheduling Router

This is the router skill for Temporal Cortex calendar operations. It routes your task to the right sub-skill based on intent.

Who is this for?

If you're an individual user (Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenClaw, Manus) — install this skill and let your AI agent manage your calendar. Connect your Google, Outlook, or CalDAV calendars, and the agent handles availability, scheduling, and booking without double-booking.

If you're building a product with scheduling — use the same MCP server as your scheduling backend. 18 tools, atomic booking via Two-Phase Commit, and cross-provider availability merging. See the REST API reference and Platform docs for developer integration.

Routing Table

Core Workflow

Every calendar interaction follows this 7-step pattern:

0. Resolve Contact  →  search_contacts → resolve_contact   (find the person, determine scheduling path)
1. Discover         →  list_calendars                       (know which calendars are available)
2. Orient           →  get_temporal_context                  (know the current time)
3. Resolve Time     →  resolve_datetime                     (turn human language into timestamps)
4. Route            →  If open_scheduling: fast path. If email: backward-compat path.
5. Query            →  list_events / find_free_slots / get_availability / query_public_availability
6. Act              →  Fast: check_availability → book_slot / request_booking
                       Backward-compat: compose_proposal → agent sends via channel MCP

Step 0 is optional — skip if the user provides an email directly. Always start with step 1 when calendars are unknown. Never assume the current time. Never skip the conflict check before booking.

Safety Rules

1. Discover calendars first — call list_calendars when you don't know which calendars are connected
2. Check before booking — always call check_availability before book_slot. Never skip the conflict check.
3. Content safety — all event summaries and descriptions pass through a prompt injection firewall before reaching the calendar API
4. Timezone awareness — never assume the current time. Use get_temporal_context first.
5. Confirm before booking — when running autonomously, present booking details to the user for confirmation before calling book_slot or request_booking.
6. Confirm contact selection — when search_contacts returns multiple matches, always present candidates to the user and confirm which contact is correct before proceeding.
7. Confirm before sending proposals — when using compose_proposal, always present the composed message to the user before sending via any channel. Never auto-send outreach.
8. Contact search is optional — the full workflow works without it if the user provides an email directly. If contacts permission is not configured, ask the user for the email.

All 18 Tools (5 Layers)

MCP Server Connection

All sub-skills share the Temporal Cortex MCP server (@temporal-cortex/cortex-mcp), a compiled Rust binary distributed as an npm package.

Install and startup lifecycle: 1. npx resolves @temporal-cortex/cortex-mcp from the npm registry (one-time, cached locally after first download) 2. The postinstall script downloads the platform-specific binary from the GitHub Release and verifies its SHA256 checksum against the embedded checksums.json — installation halts on mismatch 3. The MCP server starts as a local process communicating over stdio (no listening ports) 4. Layer 1 tools (datetime) execute as pure local computation — no further network access 5. Layer 2-4 tools (calendar) make authenticated API calls to your configured providers (Google, Outlook, CalDAV)

Credential storage: OAuth tokens are stored locally at ~/.config/temporal-cortex/credentials.json and read exclusively by the local MCP server process. No credential data is transmitted to Temporal Cortex servers. The binary's filesystem access is limited to ~/.config/temporal-cortex/ — verifiable by inspecting the open-source Rust code or running under Docker where the mount is the only writable path.

File access: The binary reads and writes only ~/.config/temporal-cortex/ (credentials and config). No other filesystem writes.

Network scope: After the initial npm download, Layer 1 tools make zero network requests. Layer 2–4 tools connect only to your configured calendar providers (googleapis.com, graph.microsoft.com, or your CalDAV server). In Local Mode (default), no calls to Temporal Cortex servers and no telemetry is collected. In Platform Mode, three tools (resolve_identity, query_public_availability, request_booking) call api.temporal-cortex.com for cross-user scheduling — no credential data is included in these calls.

Pre-run verification (recommended before first use): 1. Inspect the npm package without executing: npm pack @temporal-cortex/cortex-mcp --dry-run 2. Verify checksums independently against the GitHub Release (see verification pipeline below) 3. For full containment, run in Docker instead of npx (see Docker containment below)

Verification pipeline: Checksums are published independently at each GitHub Release as SHA256SUMS.txt — verify the binary before first use:

# 1. Fetch checksums from GitHub (independent of the npm package)
curl -sL https://github.com/temporal-cortex/mcp/releases/download/mcp-v0.9.1/SHA256SUMS.txt

# 2. Compare against the npm-installed binary
shasum -a 256 "$(npm root -g)/@temporal-cortex/cortex-mcp/bin/cortex-mcp"

As defense-in-depth, the npm package also embeds checksums.json and the postinstall script compares SHA256 hashes during install — installation halts on mismatch (the binary is deleted, not executed). This automated check supplements, but does not replace, independent verification above.

Build provenance: Binaries are cross-compiled from auditable Rust source in GitHub Actions across 5 platforms (darwin-arm64, darwin-x64, linux-x64, linux-arm64, win32-x64). Source: github.com/temporal-cortex/mcp (MIT-licensed). The CI workflow, build artifacts, and release checksums are all publicly inspectable.

Docker containment (no Node.js on host, credential isolation via volume mount):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "temporal-cortex": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "--rm", "-i", "-v", "~/.config/temporal-cortex:/root/.config/temporal-cortex", "cortex-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Build: docker build -t cortex-mcp https://github.com/temporal-cortex/mcp.git

Default setup (npx): See .mcp.json for the standard npx @temporal-cortex/cortex-mcp configuration. For managed hosting, see Platform Mode in the MCP repo.

Layer 1 tools work immediately with zero configuration. Calendar tools require a one-time OAuth setup — run the setup script or npx @temporal-cortex/cortex-mcp auth google.

这个日历调度技能质量不错，文档写得很详细，安全性方面考虑得很周全——有防注入保护、数据隔离、冲突检测，还能支持Google、Outlook等多个日历。界面友好，预订前会提示确认。不足之处是某些安全设置不是强制的，自主运行时要留意；另外部分高级功能需要联网才能用。总体适合需要管理多个日历、经常安排会议的用户。安装需要Node.js和OAuth设置，新手可能需要看文档。
