remi — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Connects Apple Reminders to AI assistants with iCloud sync and section support. Lets agents create, sort, and complete tasks directly from chat.
claude mcp add remi -- npx -y @mattheworiordan/remiWhat remi does
The server provides 16 tools for managing Apple Reminders, including remi_lists, remi_add, and remi_today. It parses conversational dates, handles recurrence, and looks up lists using fuzzy string matching.
Three distinct layers run underneath. EventKit manages standard task queries, ReminderKit creates sections, and direct SQLite updates sync list members across iCloud. Swift helpers keep execution fast without web wrappers.
Section syncing fails completely without Full Disk Access for your terminal. You will also need macOS 13 or newer, Node.js 18+, and Xcode Command Line Tools.
What it helps with
- manage Apple Reminders directly through agent conversations
- organize tasks into list sections synced across iCloud
- find reminders without typing exact list titles
- schedule recurring items using casual date phrasing
Example prompts for the agent
- Show me all reminders that are due today
- Add a high-priority task "Review PR" to my Work list due next Friday
- Move "Bananas" to the Produce section in Groceries
