Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

Apple Events MCP Server

[](https://x.com/FradSer)

English | 简体中文

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing native integration with Apple Reminders and Calendar on macOS via the EventKit framework. Exposes reminders, lists, subtasks, and calendar events through a standardized interface with full CRUD operations.

The EventKit backend is the standalone `event` Swift CLI, vendored as a git submodule and built into bin/event during pnpm install — no separate brew install required. See docs/migration-to-event-cli.md for the v1.5.0 backend swap and the list of write fields not yet exposed by event.
