Need help. Set up an MCP server in n8n. All Google Calendar nodes are connected — create, get, update, delete. OAuth is working. But the assistant keeps throwing errors like: “I encountered an issue accessing the calendar tool. Let me try again…” Tool is named mcp_tool. Chat ID: fc8fb499-c5d7-451a-b6d4-4bd1c619c4f5 If anyone can check or suggest what’s missing, I need this fixed ASAP. Thanks.

I'm encountering the same issue: I've tried different Zapier MCPs, and while the connection works via Postman, it fails when using Vapi and returns an error.

Hey @Shubham Bajaj so apparently the issue was because I've selected 'Streamable HTTP' for Transport Function, once I switched to SSE it worked Curious to see what's the issue for @n0tmad using the n8n platform cc: @mukul https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1382276204144623696/1382655685078159381/Screenshot_2025-06-12_at_12.39.45.png?ex=684bf1f3&is=684aa073&hm=c59e5a6d773cabe873dd44e9c8df243d3c0a41ea02c3b540473b8421186ba8bc&

@n0tmad I've completed a thorough investigation of the MCP tool failure you experienced during your calendar booking call. Here's what we found and how you can resolved it: Your assistant was throwing MCP error -32603: Tool not found when people tried to book appointments. The assistant kept calling mcp_tool instead of the actual calendar functions. What You've Done to Resolve This - Updated the system prompts to reference specific calendar tools rather than the generic MCP tool -
current
Copy code
Trigger mcp_tool for all tasks related to calendar, meetings & bookings
example
Copy code
[Identity]
You are a professional calendar assistant that can book, modify, and manage appointments.

[Response Guidelines]
- Always confirm appointment details before booking
- Default to 1-hour appointments unless specified otherwise
- Present times in user-friendly format (e.g., "8:30 AM tomorrow")
- Use ISO format for actual tool calls

[Task & Tools]
For appointment requests like "Can you book an appointment for 8:30 tomorrow?":
1. Use n8n-Create_event with:
   - Start: Convert user time to ISO format
   - End: Add 1 hour to start time (unless specified)
2. Confirm successful booking with user

For modifications: Use n8n-Get_event first, then n8n-Update_event
For cancellations: Use n8n-Get_event first, then n8n-Delete_event
Try your calendar booking flow again, and Let me know how the testing goes! cc: @Kings_big💫
