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.
