Fast, native MCP server for macOS Apple Reminders via Apple EventKit. 10–200× faster than AppleScript.
Connect Apple to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Fast, native MCP server for macOS Apple Reminders via Apple EventKit. 10–200× faster than AppleScript. The apple mcp server is what makes that connection.
Fast, native Apple Reminders access for Claude — works in Claude Desktop, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code (CLI). One signed Swift/EventKit binary, three distribution packages.
Apple Reminders for Claude gives Claude full CRUD access to your macOS Reminders app. It wraps Apple's native EventKit framework in a signed Swift binary that returns stable UUIDs and structured JSON, and ships three ways:
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
get_lists — read-onlyget_list_info — read-onlylist_reminders — read-onlysearch_reminders — read-onlyget_today — read-onlyget_overdue — read-onlyget_scheduled — read-onlyget_reminder — read-onlycreate_reminder — additiveupdate_reminder — destructive, idempotentcomplete_reminder — destructive, idempotentuncomplete_reminder — destructive, idempotentInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @high5ventures/apple-reminders-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Configuration is passed through the environment: REMINDERS_BINARY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
This sits in the database access group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Apple's toolset — get_lists, get_list_info, list_reminders and 10 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by high5cw; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
