MCP Apple Calendars
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Apple Calendars on macOS. This module allows AI models to access and manipulate calendar data through a standardized interface.
Prerequisites

Node.js 16.0 or later
Calendar API Bridge running locally
Related MCP server: macOS Calendar MCP Server
Installation
Clone this repository
Install dependencies:
npm installBuild the TypeScript code:
npm run build
Usage
Make sure the Calendar API Bridge is running on port 8080
Start the MCP server:

Available Tools
The MCP server provides the following tools for AI models:
getCalendars: List all available calendarsgetCalendarEvents: Get events from a specific calendarcreateCalendarEvent: Create a new event in a calendarupdateCalendarEvent: Update an existing eventdeleteCalendarEvent: Delete an event from a calendar
Date Formats
When creating or updating events, you can use any of the following date formats:
ISO8601 with milliseconds and Z timezone (recommended):
2025-03-09T10:00:00.000ZISO8601 without milliseconds:
2025-03-09T10:00:00ISO8601 with space instead of T:
2025-03-09 10:00:00ISO8601 with forward slashes:
2025/03/09 10:00:00
The Calendar API Bridge has been updated to handle these date formats automatically.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Tool has no description.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Tool has no description.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Tool has no description.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Tool has no description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Tool has no description.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Tool has no description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting either calendars or calendar events with specific CRUD operations. The naming makes it obvious whether a tool works on calendars (createCalendar, deleteCalendar, getCalendars) or calendar events (createCalendarEvent, deleteCalendarEvent, getCalendarEvents, updateCalendarEvent), with no ambiguity between them.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with camelCase styling throughout. The naming is perfectly predictable: create/delete/get/update + Calendar/CalendarEvent, making it easy to understand what each tool does at a glance.
With 7 tools, this is well-scoped for a calendar management server. Each tool earns its place by covering essential CRUD operations for both calendars and calendar events, providing a complete yet manageable interface without being overwhelming or insufficient.
The tool set provides complete CRUD coverage for both calendars (create, delete, get) and calendar events (create, delete, get, update). There are no obvious gaps—agents can fully manage the calendar lifecycle, from creating calendars to handling events within them, with no dead ends.
