Main
Use
npx -y mcp-server-apple-eventsfor the fastest path; only build locally if you need Swift bridge changes or diagnostics.Copy the README’s client config snippets (Cursor / Claude Desktop) to avoid transport/args mistakes.
If builds fail due to SDK/toolchain mismatch, follow README guidance to upgrade Swift (it calls out Swift 6.3+ requirements).
Source-backed notes
- README Quick Start shows running the server with
npx mcp-server-apple-eventsand provides Cursor/Claude Desktop config JSON usingnpx -y. - README includes Swift toolchain verification commands (
xcrun swiftc --versionandxcrun --show-sdk-version). - README documents both npx and local-build options for running the server (node with
bin/run.cjs).
FAQ
- Is this macOS-only?: Yes — it targets Apple Events for macOS Reminders/Calendar integration per README.
- Do I have to install globally?: No — README recommends npx for a zero-install run; local builds are optional.
- Why mention Swift versions?: README explains some builds require Swift 6.3+ due to macOS SDK interface changes.
