apple-reminders-mcp

An MCP server that connects Claude Desktop to Apple Reminders on macOS via AppleScript.

Prerequisites

Related MCP server: Apple Reminders MCP Server

Installation

1. Add to Claude Desktop config

Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apple-reminders": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@kamk95/apple-reminders-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

2. Restart Claude Desktop

The first time a reminder tool is used, macOS will prompt you to grant Reminders access — click Allow.

Manual install (alternative)

If you prefer to run from source:

git clone https://github.com/kamrenkennedy/apple-reminders-mcp.git
cd apple-reminders-mcp
npm install

Then use this config instead:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apple-reminders": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/apple-reminders-mcp/index.js"]
    }
  }

Notes

  • Tags are stored inside the reminder's notes field as [tags: tag1, tag2] since the native Reminders tags API is not accessible via AppleScript. They round-trip correctly through all tools.

  • Reminders are matched by exact name. If you have duplicates across lists, pass list_name to disambiguate.
