Feature: let create_or_update_event choose the conferencing provider (e.g. Zoom), not just Meet #7

Description

Problem

create_or_update_event exposes conference: true ("add a video meeting link"), but there's no way to pick the provider. Since the server creates events via the Google Calendar API, conference: true yields a Google Meet link (the API default). For users/teams who standardize on Zoom for every meeting, there's no way to get agent-created events to use Zoom.

Notably, the usual workaround doesn't help here: setting Google Calendar's default conferencing to Zoom (via the Zoom for Google Workspace add-on) only applies to events created in the Calendar UI — it is not applied to events created through the Calendar API, which is what this MCP does. So today there's no path to Zoom links on events created via this server.

Request

Allow specifying the conferencing provider on create_or_update_event, e.g.:

  • conference_provider: "meet" | "zoom" | "none" (default "meet" to preserve current behavior), or
  • more generally, support third-party conferencing so a Zoom-default workflow is honored.

Why it matters

Zoom-first orgs currently can't use this MCP for scheduling without every event defaulting to Meet, which then has to be manually removed and replaced. Provider choice would make it a drop-in for those teams.

Thanks!
