Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Download the maker’s .mcpb file

The link goes to the maker’s own file; we do not host or repackage it. Open the file and Claude Desktop installs it.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add apple-reminders --env APPLE_REMINDERS_MCP_SAFETY_MODE=your-value --env APPLE_REMINDERS_MCP_ALLOWED_LISTS=your-value -- uvx apple-mcp-reminders

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apple-reminders": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "apple-mcp-reminders"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APPLE_REMINDERS_MCP_SAFETY_MODE": "your-value",
        "APPLE_REMINDERS_MCP_ALLOWED_LISTS": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "apple-reminders": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "apple-mcp-reminders"

Common questions

Is Apple Reminders safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.6) reached the registry 3 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv), MCPB on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Apple Reminders MCP

MCP server for Apple Reminders on macOS.

Provides access to reminder lists and tasks through EventKit. Keep Reminders as the system of record while enabling agents to read, create, update, complete, and delete reminders.

When to use

Task and reminder workflows
Reminders isolated from the rest of the Apple stack
EventKit-backed reminder management

What It Does

Discover, create, and delete reminder lists
List, create, update, and delete reminders
Complete and uncomplete tasks
Tool discovery helpers search_tools and get_tool_info for context-constrained clients
Today and list resources
Planning and inbox-triage prompts
Health and permission checks: reminders_health, reminders_permission_guide, reminders_recheck_permissions

Install On This Mac

Quick start (uvx, from PyPI)

With uv installed:

uvx apple-mcp-reminders

No clone, no venv management.

From a clone

git clone https://github.com/JonathanRReed/Apple-MCPs.git

cd Apple-MCPs uv sync --all-packages

This builds one workspace environment with every server's entry point in .venv/bin (for example .venv/bin/apple-reminders-mcp). You can also point an MCP client at AppleReminders-MCP/start.sh, which prefers uv run and falls back to a plain venv bootstrap (Python 3.11+ required).

Install In AI Agents

Generic MCP client config

"mcpServers": { "apple-reminders": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["apple-mcp-reminders"], "env": { "APPLE_REMINDERS_MCP_SAFETY_MODE": "safe_manage" } } } }

Running from a clone instead? Use /path/to/Apple-MCPs/AppleReminders-MCP/start.sh as the command with empty args.

Claude Code example

claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user apple-reminders -- uvx apple-mcp-reminders

--scope user makes the server available in every project. To share it with one repository through its .mcp.json instead, use --scope project.

Safety Modes

safe_readonly
safe_manage
full_access

Transport

stdio is the default and recommended transport. Set APPLE_REMINDERS_MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http (with optional APPLE_REMINDERS_MCP_HOST and APPLE_REMINDERS_MCP_PORT) to serve Streamable HTTP instead.

macOS Permissions

Reminders access is required

Launch Checklist

Add uvx apple-mcp-reminders (or a clone's AppleReminders-MCP/start.sh) to your MCP client
Reload or reconnect the client so the Reminders tool surface is loaded into context
Call reminders_health first
If Reminders access is blocked, call reminders_permission_guide
After changing macOS permissions, call reminders_recheck_permissions

Prompting Notes

tools/list returns the full Reminders tool surface. Context-constrained clients can use search_tools first, then get_tool_info for the Reminders tool they need.
Reminders are organized into lists. Identify available lists on first use and set a default.
Use Reminders for due items, tasks, and follow-ups.
due_date requires a timezone offset: yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss-HH:00
