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.
Seameet MCP tools 14
seameet_desktop_recording_helpExplain how to enable local SeaMeet desktop recording tools. Use this when the user asks to record a meeting, call, webinar, interview, screen, microphone, system audio, live transcript, or screenshot but this cloud MCP server does not expose local recorder controls. Cloud MCP can read synced recordings and manage webhooks; starting/stopping local recordings requires the SeaMeet desktop app plus the local @seameet/mcp server. Provides the fast install commands: macOS `brew install --cask seameet-ai/tap/seameet`, Windows `winget install seameet`.seameet_list_recent_recordingsList recordings in the SeaMeet cloud library, newest first. Returns compact entries {assetId, title, kind, durationMs, updatedAt, shared}. Use seameet_get_recording to fetch one recording's transcript/summary/action items.seameet_get_recordingGet one recording's metadata plus a chosen artifact. section: "summary" (Markdown), "transcription" (one "[hh:mm:ss] Speaker: text" line per segment), "chapters" (JSON), "action-items" and "key-decisions" (JSON; desktop recordings only — files transcribed on app.seameet.ai have summary, transcription and chapters), or "all". A long summary or transcription is paged: pass pagination.nextOffset back as offset to continue; if pagination.sectionVersion changes between pages the text was edited, so start over at offset 0. JSON sections are returned whole. asset.transcriptionJob reports a file transcription that is still running or failed. Content may be capped for free-plan owners (capped=true).seameet_get_media_urlGet a fresh presigned URL (15 min) to stream/download a recording's media file.seameet_get_usageStorage usage vs quota for the authenticated account.seameet_rename_speakersRename speakers in one of your recordings: the transcript, summary, chapters, action items and key decisions all update. Pass labels exactly as seameet_get_recording lists them in `speakers` (e.g. "Speaker 1"), and the transcription's pagination.sectionVersion as transcriptVersion so a transcript that changed since you read it is refused ("stale") instead of renaming the wrong voice. Owner only; needs a WRITE-scoped key. On error "conflict", call again with the same renameId, the same transcriptVersion, and skip set to the returned `landed`.seameet_regenerate_recording_summaryRegenerate the AI summary and chapters of one of your recordings from its current transcript (Meeting Minutes format). Returns immediately; the new summary lands in about 1-2 minutes: poll seameet_get_recording(assetId, section:"summary") until pagination.sectionVersion is greater than previousSummaryVersion (asset.summaryRun.state "failed" means it failed). Owner only; needs a WRITE-scoped key. At most once per recording per 5 minutes and 20 per day. Screenshots in the recording's notes are not analyzed.seameet_create_webhookRegister an outbound webhook endpoint. SeaMeet POSTs signed event deliveries to `url` (a PUBLIC https server the user hosts — MCP cannot receive them). Events: "recording.synced" (a recording finished syncing) and "ai.ready" (the summary and every other AI artifact inlined). ai.ready fires each time the summary is written — again when it is regenerated or speakers are renamed — so one recording can deliver it more than once, possibly out of order; per assetId keep the delivery with the greatest data.artifactsRevision. Requires a WRITE-scoped key + Sync Pro; the returned `secret` signs deliveries (HMAC-SHA256). Full contract: https://app.seameet.ai/api/seameet_list_webhooksList the account's webhook endpoints with signing secrets and delivery health (failure_count, last_status, active). Use the ids with seameet_update_webhook / seameet_delete_webhook.seameet_update_webhookUpdate an endpoint: re-enable one auto-disabled by failures (active:true, which also resets the failure counter) and/or change its url/events. Requires a write-scoped key.seameet_delete_webhookDelete a webhook endpoint by id. Requires a write-scoped key.seameet_statusReport how this SeaMeet MCP is connected: DESKTOP mode (the desktop app is running — full record/screenshot/transcript tools) and/or CLOUD mode (authorized access to your synced library + webhooks). Call this to see the current mode and how to enable the other.- +2 more on the listing page
