What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Developer tools

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mattheworiordan/remi"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add remi -- npx -y @mattheworiordan/remi

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mattheworiordan/remi"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "remi": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mattheworiordan/remi"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Remi 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 (0.2.1) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

remi

The CLI that Apple should have built for Reminders.

Create lists, add reminders, organize them into sections, and have everything sync across all your Apple devices — from the terminal.

Why remi?

Sections with iCloud sync — the only CLI that supports Apple Reminders sections. Create them, assign reminders, move between them, and it all syncs.
Natural language — --due "next tuesday", --repeat "every 2 weeks on monday,friday"
Fuzzy matching — type remi list shopping instead of remi list "Groceries / Shopping List"
Agent-first — structured JSON output, Claude Code plugin, skills.sh skill, OpenClaw compatible
Fast — compiled Swift helpers, no Electron, no GUI

Section sync (iCloud)	Yes	N/A	N/A
Recurrence	Yes	Yes	No

Install

brew tap mattheworiordan/tap && brew install remi

Or via npm:

npm install -g @mattheworiordan/remi

or run without installing

npx @mattheworiordan/remi lists

Quick start

remi lists                                              # See all lists

remi list "Groceries" # View a list (fuzzy: remi list groceries) remi add "Groceries" "Buy milk" --section "Dairy" # Add to a section remi today # What's due today? remi complete "Groceries" "milk" # Fuzzy complete

Usage

Check what's due

remi today                    # Due today

remi overdue # Past due remi upcoming --days 7 # Coming up remi search "dentist" # Search across all lists

Manage reminders

remi add "Work" "Review PR" --due "next friday" --priority high

remi add "Work" "Standup" --due tomorrow --repeat daily remi complete "Work" "standup" remi update "Work" "Review PR" --due "in 3 days" remi delete "Work" "Review PR" --confirm

Dates: tomorrow, next tuesday, in 3 days, or YYYY-MM-DD Recurrence: daily, weekly, monthly, every 2 weeks, every 3 months on monday,friday

Organize with sections

remi sections "Groceries"                                # List sections

remi create-section "Groceries" "Produce" # Create a section remi add "Groceries" "Bananas" --section "Produce" # Add to a section remi move "Groceries" "Bananas" --to-section "Dairy" # Move between sections

Sections sync to iCloud via CRDT vector clocks. See how it works.

JSON output

Every command supports --json for machine-readable output:

remi today --json

{"success": true, "data": [...]}

AI agent integration

remi is designed for AI agents. Use it as an MCP server, Claude Code plugin, or skill:

MCP server

"mcpServers": { "remi": { "command": "remi", "args": ["--mcp"] } } }

16 tools: remi_lists, remi_add, remi_complete, remi_move, remi_today, remi_search, and more — all with fuzzy matching and structured responses.

Other integrations

# Claude Code plugin

claude plugin marketplace add mattheworiordan/remi

skills.sh

npx skills add mattheworiordan/remi

OpenClaw

clawhub install remi

Permissions

On first run, macOS will ask you to grant Reminders access (click Allow). Section features also need Full Disk Access for your terminal app.

remi authorize    # Guides you through both

remi doctor # Shows what's granted

Requirements

macOS 13+ (Ventura or later)
Node.js 18+
Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install)

How it works

remi uses three layers because Apple never exposed sections in their public API:

Layer	What	Why
EventKit	Reminder CRUD, queries, recurrence	Stable public API
ReminderKit	Section CRUD	Private framework — only way to create sections that sync
SQLite + Token Maps	Section membership	Direct database writes with CRDT vector clocks for iCloud sync

The full reverse-engineering story explains what we discovered about Apple's undocumented sync architecture.
