Install

Claude Code — register this repo as a marketplace, then install the plugin. The plugin bundles the /today, /week, /quick-event, /remind slash commands and a PreToolUse hook that verifies day-of-week on every event write:

claude plugin marketplace add PsychQuant/che-ical-mcp
claude plugin install che-ical-mcp@che-ical-mcp

Claude Desktop — download the latest .mcpb from Releases and double-click to install.

Standalone MCP — the 29-tool server on its own, no plugin extras:

mkdir -p ~/bin
curl -L https://github.com/PsychQuant/che-ical-mcp/releases/latest/download/CheICalMCP -o ~/bin/CheICalMCP && chmod +x ~/bin/CheICalMCP
claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio che-ical-mcp -- ~/bin/CheICalMCP

On first use, macOS prompts for Calendar and Reminders access — click Allow. Building from source, upgrading in place, or running under SSH / launchd / VS Code? See Installation for the full guide.
