This article refers to Reclaim 2.0 features and workflows. You can confirm your current app version in Account Settings.

Instead of manually managing scheduling across multiple tools, Claude can help organize your time based on your availability, priorities, and meeting load.

Reclaim connects Claude with your calendar through MCP (Model Context Protocol), enabling Claude to safely coordinate scheduling and calendar workflows with your approval.
