nextcloud-calendar	Create, list, and query calendar events in Nextcloud via CalDAV. Use when: (1) User asks to create a calendar event, (2) User asks what's on their calendar, (3) User says "add to calendar" or "schedule", (4) User asks about upcoming events. Always use Nextcloud calendar unless user specifies otherwise.	Claude Code	1.0.0	2025-01-25

Nextcloud Calendar Management

Problem

Need to create, query, or manage calendar events in the user's Nextcloud calendar.

Context / Trigger Conditions

• User asks to create/add a calendar event
• User asks "what's on my calendar?" or similar
• User mentions scheduling something
• User says "remind me" with a date (create calendar event)
• Default calendar is always Nextcloud unless otherwise specified

Prerequisites

• Python 3 with caldav and icalendar packages available (installed via PYTHONPATH or system packages)
• Environment variables NEXTCLOUD_USER and NEXTCLOUD_APP_PASSWORD must be set

Solution

Script Location

.claude/calendar-query.py

Execution Pattern (CRITICAL)

Run the script directly with python3 (env vars are set in the environment):

python3 .claude/calendar-query.py [command] [options]

Available Commands

List Calendars

python .claude/calendar-query.py list

Query Events

# Today's events
python .claude/calendar-query.py today

# Tomorrow's events
python .claude/calendar-query.py tomorrow

# This week
python .claude/calendar-query.py week

# This month
python .claude/calendar-query.py month

# Custom date range
python .claude/calendar-query.py events --days 14
python .claude/calendar-query.py events --date 2026-04-10

# From specific calendar
python .claude/calendar-query.py today --calendar "Work"

Create Events

# All-day event (single day)
python .claude/calendar-query.py create --title "Doctor appointment" --start "2026-03-15" --all-day

# All-day event (multi-day) - end date is EXCLUSIVE
# For April 10-13, use end date April 14
python .claude/calendar-query.py create --title "Vacation" --start "2026-04-10" --end "2026-04-14" --all-day

# Timed event
python .claude/calendar-query.py create --title "Meeting" --start "2026-03-15 14:00" --end "2026-03-15 15:00"

# With location and description
python .claude/calendar-query.py create --title "Lunch" --start "tomorrow 12:00" --location "Cafe" --description "Team lunch"

# Relative dates work
python .claude/calendar-query.py create --title "Call" --start "today 16:00"
python .claude/calendar-query.py create --title "Review" --start "tomorrow 10:00"

Output Formats

# JSON output (for parsing)
python .claude/calendar-query.py today --json

# Text output (default, human-readable)
python .claude/calendar-query.py week

Complete Example

To create an event "Team offsite" from March 20-22, 2026:

python3 .claude/calendar-query.py create --title "Team offsite" --start "2026-03-20" --end "2026-03-23" --all-day

Important Notes

1. End dates are exclusive for all-day events (CalDAV standard). To create an event spanning April 10-13, set end to April 14.

2. No delete/update commands - The script currently only supports create and query. To modify events, user must do it manually in Nextcloud.

3. Default calendar is "Personal" - use --calendar flag for others.

Verification

• For queries: Output shows formatted event list
• For creates: Output shows "Event created: [title]" with calendar name and start date
• Exit code 0 = success, 1 = error (check output for details)

Common Errors

Error	Cause	Fix
NEXTCLOUD_USER and NEXTCLOUD_APP_PASSWORD must be set	Env vars not set	Ensure NEXTCLOUD_USER and NEXTCLOUD_APP_PASSWORD are in the environment
Required packages not installed	caldav/icalendar missing	Ensure PYTHONPATH includes the installed packages
Calendar 'X' not found	Wrong calendar name	Run list command to see available calendars
