Tools & capabilities
MCP Server Apple Events tools 5
reminders_tasksPriority, tags, subtasks. `startDate` is set via `update`, not `create`; on `read` it scopes the due-date window alongside `endDate`. Cross-list moves unsupported.reminders_subtasksStored in the notes field (human-readable in Reminders.app).reminders_listsRename via `name` → `newName`.calendar_eventsAll-day inferred from date format. Cross-calendar moves unsupported. `span` scopes recurring deletes. `attendees` (update) invites addresses; `occurrenceDate` (delete) excepts one occurrence of a series — both need extra setup, see [Attendees and single occurrences](#attendees-and-single-occurrence…calendar_calendarsWithout a date range, every calendar EventKit reports, with its `source` and write permission. With `startDate`/`endDate`, calendars holding ≥1 event in the window, annotated with an event count.
Mjucius Cozi MCP tools 15
family_membersList family members. Use the `id` for appointment attendees. Returns: [{id, name, color?}].get_listsSummarize all lists (no items). Optionally filter by 'shopping' or 'todo'. Returns: [{id, title, type, item_count, completed_count}].get_list_itemsItems in one list. Excludes completed items by default. Returns: [{id, text, status, position?}].create_listCreate a list ('shopping' or 'todo'). Returns: {id, title, type}.rename_listRename a list; its items stay as they are. Returns: {id, title, type}.delete_listDelete a list. Returns true on success.add_itemAdd an item to a list. Returns: {id, text}.update_itemUpdate an item's text and/or completion status. Pass `text`, `completed`, or both. When both are provided the text is updated first then status is updated as a separate request — these are NOT atomic. Returns: {id, text, status}.remove_itemsRemove items from a list. Returns true on success.get_calendarAppointments for one month. Returns: [{id, subject, day, all_day, start?, end?, end_day?, attendees?, location?, notes?, reminders?, kind?, read_only?, source?, recurring?, recurrence?, series_start?, series_end?, skipped_days?}]. `day` is the day the entry happens; `end_day` appears only on multi-day events, which are listed in every month they overlap, so `day` may fall outside the month asked for. A recurring series (`recurring: true`) is listed once per occurrence in the month, as Cozi itself expands it: each entry carries the series `id`, its own `day` (and `end_day` when the occurrence spans days), and `series_start`. Occurrences deleted in Cozi are already left out (and named in `skipped_days`); a series with no occurrence left in the month is not listed. `kind` marks items that are not plain appointments (e.g. "birthday"); `read_only` items (holidays, subscribed calendars, with `source` naming the calendar) cannot be changed. `reminders` are minutes before the start.search_calendarFind appointments by words in their subject, across months (Cozi's own search, the one in its app). Use it for "when is the dentist?" instead of paging through months. Returns: {appointments: [{...same fields as get_calendar, last_day?, next_days?}], more?}. A recurring series is one entry with `last_day` (latest past occurrence) and `next_days` (up to 10 upcoming). Cozi searches from a few years back onward, and an appointment created in the last few seconds may not be found yet; `more: true` means it found more than this first page, so narrow the query.todayCurrent date, weekday and time on the user's machine. Returns: {date, weekday, time, timezone}. Call it before turning 'tomorrow' or 'this Saturday' into the ISO dates the calendar tools take when you have not called another Cozi tool yet; every Cozi tool result also carries this time.- +3 more on the listing page
