Description from the maker (original English)
Search, read and act on Apple Reminders — lists, due dates, writes off by default
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
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).
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.37.0) reached the registry 3 days ago.

Model Context Protocol server for the macOS Apple Reminders app.
Unofficial. Not affiliated with Apple. It drives the Reminders app that is already on your Mac.
Like Notes and unlike Mail, the Apple Events lane alone is usable. You can install this, use it, and only then decide whether to grant Full Disk Access. apple_reminders_diagnostics tells you which lane is answering.
| Permission | Needed for | Without it |
|---|---|---|
| Automation → Reminders | everything | nothing works; you get a -1743 error |
| Full Disk Access | tags, attachments | the server still runs, on the Apple Events lane |
Neither is granted to Reminders.app — it is the _reader_ that needs permission. Grant it to whatever launches the server (Terminal, iTerm, VS Code, Claude), then restart it.
Read: diagnostics, list_accounts, list_lists, list_reminders, search_reminders, get_reminder.
Write, registered only when APPLE_REMINDERS_ALLOW_WRITES=1 — with the flag off they are invisible to the model, not merely refused: create_reminder, update_reminder, complete_reminders, move_reminders, delete_reminders.
