Apple Reminders MCP server
by FradSer
Lets your AI read and update your Apple Reminders and Calendar on your Mac.
This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to the Reminders and Calendar apps on your Mac. Once it is set up, you can just ask in plain words and your AI will look things up or make changes for you. It is handy if you keep your to-do lists and events in Apple's own apps and want to stop clicking around.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. This one connects your AI to Apple Reminders and Calendar on your Mac, so it can look things up or make changes there when you ask. You set it up once, and after that your AI can reach those apps for you.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI something like "what is due today" or "add milk to my shopping list". Your AI passes that request to this helper program running on your Mac. The helper talks to the Reminders and Calendar apps through Apple's own system, the same way the apps talk to each other. Then it sends the answer or the change back, and your AI shows it to you in the chat. You never have to open the apps yourself unless you want to.

What it gives back to you
You get answers written in the chat, like a list of reminders with their list, due date, priority, tags, and subtask progress. When you ask it to change something, it tells you what it did. Calendar answers come back as a list of events with their times and calendars. Everything appears as normal text you can read and copy.
