FAQ from Apple Reminders MCP Server

What permissions does Apple Reminders MCP Server require?

Full access to both Reminders and Calendar on macOS. The first EventKit call triggers a system prompt, and the grant appears under System Settings > Privacy & Security as "event".

How are macOS permissions handled?

The server uses a disclaim shim (bin/event-disclaim) so that event becomes its own TCC-responsible process, avoiding permission attribution issues with host apps like Claude Desktop.

Can I set alarms, recurrence rules, or location triggers?

These fields are read-only via this server. Configure them in the Reminders or Calendar app directly; values round-trip through read responses.

What are the system requirements?

macOS (Sonoma 14+ recommended), Node.js 20 or later, and optionally Xcode Command Line Tools if building from source. The npm package ships a pre-built binary.

What should I do if the permission dialog never appears?

Reset TCC globally using `tccutil reset
