A comprehensive master-agent calendar synchronization system with full bidirectional sync capabilities and advanced Outlook for Mac support. Collects calendars from multiple isolated networks, consolidates them into a unified destination calendar, and enables real-time bidirectional updates across all connected calendars. Perfect for organizations with calendars scattered across different networks, VPNs, and Exchange servers.

New in this version: Advanced support for Outlook for Mac with our breakthrough OLK15EventParser that bypasses Microsoft's anti-scraping database measures:

• ✅ Direct .olk15Event File Processing - Extracts real calendar data from individual event files
• ✅ Bypass SQLite Anti-Scraping - Works around Microsoft's database protection measures
• ✅ Google Workspace Integration - Seamlessly sync to Google Calendar destinations
• ✅ 9,000+ Event Processing - Successfully tested with large calendar datasets
• ✅ Agent Heartbeat System - Reliable event collection and transmission
• ✅ Automated Discovery Tools - Smart calendar detection and configuration

What's New: This system now supports full bidirectional calendar synchronization, meaning changes made in your centralized master calendar will automatically propagate back to all remote agents and their local calendar sources.

• ✅ Calendar Metadata Updates: Rename, recolor, or modify calendar properties from anywhere
• ✅ Real-time Change Propagation: Updates flow both ways automatically
• ✅ Multi-Provider Support: Works with Google, Microsoft, Exchange, Outlook, and Apple calendars
• ✅ Event Synchronization: Create, update, and delete events from any endpoint
• ✅ Conflict Resolution: Intelligent handling of simultaneous changes
• ✅ Reliable Delivery: Queue-based system ensures no updates are lost

1. Download the discovery tool:

# On Windows machine with Outlook
curl -O http://your-server:8008/src/sync/list_outlook_calendars.py
# OR copy from the repository: src/sync/list_outlook_calendars.py

2. Run the discovery tool:

cd C:\CalendarAgent\
python list_outlook_calendars.py

3. The tool will automatically generate outlook_config.json with all your Outlook calendars discovered and configured.

🚀 BREAKTHROUGH: Our new OLK15EventParser bypasses Microsoft's anti-scraping SQLite database protection by processing individual .olk15Event files directly.

1. Download the enhanced Outlook Mac agent:

# On macOS machine with Outlook for Mac
curl -O http://your-server:8008/src/sync/remote_agent.py
curl -O http://your-server:8008/src/sync/OLK15EventParser.py
# OR copy from the repository: src/sync/

2. The enhanced agent automatically:

   • Bypasses SQLite anti-scraping - No more database lock issues
   • Processes .olk15Event files directly - Real calendar data extraction
   • Handles 9,000+ events efficiently - Tested with large datasets
   • Discovers 256+ account directories - Comprehensive calendar coverage
   • Normalizes event formats - Converts to standard CalendarEvent format
   • Sends via heartbeat system - Reliable transmission to master server

3. Enhanced Discovery and Processing:

cd /opt/calendar-agent/
python remote_agent.py --mode discover

# Sample output:
# Found 256 account directories
# Processed 9,095 events from .olk15Event files
# Generated outlook_config.json for optimal sync

4. Automatic Configuration Generation: The agent creates an optimized config that:
   • Includes all discovered Outlook Mac calendars
   • Configures proper agent heartbeat intervals
   • Sets up Google Calendar destination integration
   • Enables OLK15EventParser mode

1. Download the Calendar app discovery tool:

curl -O http://your-server:8008/src/sync/list_mac_calendars.py

    'company.com',
    'corporation.net', 
    'enterprise.org',
    'startup.io',
    'nonprofit.org'
]

# Lines 8-14: Adjust system calendar filtering
system_terms = [
    'holiday', 'birthday', 'holidays',
    'vacation', 'personal', 'private',
    'family', 'anniversary'
]

You can combine multiple calendar types in a single agent:

{
  "agent_id": "multi-platform-agent",
  "calendar_sources": [
    {
      "type": "outlook_mac",
      "name": "Outlook Work Calendar",
      "folder_id": "1",
      "account_uid": "1"
    },
    {
      "type": "macos_calendar", 
      "name": "Personal Calendar",
      "calendar_id": "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789ABC"
    },
    {
      "type": "google",
      "name": "Google Work Calendar",
      "calendar_id": "primary",
      "credentials": {
        "client_id": "google-client-id",
        "refresh_token": "google-refresh-token"
      }
    }
  ]
}

For each computer/network with calendars you want to sync:

1. On the target machine, create a new folder (e.g., C:\CalendarAgent\ or /opt/calendar-agent/)

2. Copy the enhanced agent files:

   • src/sync/remote_agent.py (now with bidirectional capabilities)
   • The outlook_config.json generated by the helper scripts
   • src/sync/run_agent.bat or run_agent.sh

3. Install Python dependencies:

# Windows
pip install aiohttp asyncio win32com python-dateutil

# Linux/Mac  
pip install aiohttp asyncio python-dateutil

4. Your generated outlook_config.json will look like this:

{
  "agent_id": "office-pc-main",
  "agent_name": "Main Office Computer",
  "environment": "Corporate Network",
  "central_api_url": "http://192.168.1.100:8008",
  "sync_interval_minutes": 30,
  "enable_bidirectional_sync": true,
  "calendar_sources": [
    {
      "type": "outlook",
      "name": "Primary Work Calendar",
      "calendar_name": "Calendar",
      "allow_metadata_updates": true,
      "allow_event_updates": true
    },
    {
      "type": "google",
      "name": "Google Calendar",
      "credentials": {
        "client_id": "your-google-client-id",
        "client_secret": "your-google-client-secret",
        "refresh_token": "your-refresh-token"
      },
      "calendar_id": "primary",
      "allow_metadata_updates": true
    },
    {
      "type": "exchange",
      "name": "Corporate Exchange",
      "exchange_url": "https://exchange.company.com/ews/exchange.asmx",
      "username": "[email protected]",
      "password": "secure-password",
      "allow_metadata_updates": false
    }
  ]
}

5. Start the bidirectional agent:

# Windows
run_agent.bat

# Linux/Mac
./run_agent.sh

6. Verify bidirectional functionality:
   • Check agent logs for "Bidirectional sync enabled"
   • Monitor heartbeat responses for pending updates
   • Test calendar rename from master server

1. From the master server API:

# Rename a calendar
curl -X PUT "http://192.168.1.100:8008/calendars/calendar-id" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Updated Calendar Name", 
    "color": "#FF5733"
  }' \
  -G -d "provider=outlook" \
  -d "credentials={\"access_token\":\"token\"}"

2. From Next.js frontend:

import { CalendarClient } from './CalendarClient';

const client = new CalendarClient('http://192.168.1.100:8008');

// Update calendar metadata
await client.updateCalendarMetadata('calendar-id', {
  name: 'New Calendar Name',
  color: '#00FF00'
}, 'outlook', credentials);

3. Monitor propagation:

# Check update queues
curl http://192.168.1.100:8008/sync/agents/office-pc-main/pending-updates

# Monitor agent logs
tail -f calendar_agent.log

# Calendar Management (CRUD operations)
PUT /calendars/{calendar_id}          # Update calendar metadata
POST /calendars                       # Create new calendar  
DELETE /calendars/{calendar_id}       # Delete calendar

# Bidirectional Push Operations
POST /sync/push/calendar-metadata     # Push metadata changes to agents
POST /sync/push/sync-config          # Push configuration updates

The system includes powerful discovery tools to automatically detect and configure calendars across different platforms. These tools simplify setup by finding all available calendars and generating appropriate configuration files.

Purpose: Automatically discovers all Outlook calendars on Windows using COM interface.

# On Windows machine with Outlook
cd C:\CalendarAgent\
python list_outlook_calendars.py

• Connects to Outlook via COM interface
• Discovers all calendar folders including shared and secondary calendars
• Extracts calendar properties (name, path, entry ID, store ID)
• Counts appointments in each calendar
• Generates configuration snippets ready for outlook_config.json

Purpose: Discovers Outlook for Mac calendars by directly accessing the SQLite database.

# On macOS with Outlook for Mac
cd /opt/calendar-agent/
python list_outlook_mac_calendars.py

• Intelligent database discovery - Searches multiple common Outlook database locations
• Deep folder scanning - Recursively searches for Outlook SQLite files
• Database validation - Verifies found databases contain calendar data
• Account information extraction - Gets account names and types
• Event counting - Counts events per calendar for better filtering

# Primary search locations:

If the database isn't found, the tool provides helpful guidance:

Could not find Outlook database. Here are some troubleshooting steps:
1. Make sure Outlook for Mac is installed and has been run at least once
2. Check if you have any Microsoft 365 or Exchange accounts added in Outlook
3. The database might be in a different location if you're using an older version
4. Try running 'mdfind -name '*.sqlite' | grep -i outlook' in Terminal

Purpose: Discovers calendars from the built-in macOS Calendar application.

# On macOS
cd /opt/calendar-agent/
python list_mac_calendars.py

• AppleScript integration - Uses AppleScript to query Calendar app directly
• Comprehensive calendar info - Gets name, ID, description, writability
• Event counting - Counts events in each calendar
• Fallback database access - Alternative SQLite method if AppleScript fails
