ReminderIt MCP server: the core tools explained

The ReminderIt MCP server gives Claude 25 tools covering the full reminder lifecycle. Here are the core ones — what each tool does, what it takes as input, what it returns, and the kind of conversational prompt that triggers it.

Listing and reading

list_reminders: returns all your reminders with status. Triggered by 'show me my reminders' or 'what calls do I have set up?'

get_reminder(reminder_id): returns details of one reminder. Triggered by 'tell me more about my medication reminder'.

list_recipients: returns your care recipients. Triggered by 'who are my recipients?'.

get_recent_calls(limit): returns delivery logs. Triggered by 'did my last few reminders go through?'.

list_upcoming(limit): returns the next scheduled occurrences across all reminders. Triggered by 'what calls are coming up this week?'.

get_usage: returns how many reminder calls you've used this month and how many are left. Triggered by 'how many calls do I have left?'.

Creating and updating

create_reminder: creates a new one-off or recurring reminder with title, schedule, timezone, voice preferences, and optional recipient. Triggered by 'set a reminder for...'.

update_reminder(reminder_id): updates any field of an existing reminder. Triggered by 'change my wake-up call to 7am'.

add_recipient(name, phone, relationship): adds a person you want to remind; they accept once before any reminders reach them. Triggered by 'add my mother as a recipient'.

Actions and management

delete_reminder(reminder_id): removes a reminder permanently. Triggered by 'delete my gym reminder'.

skip_next_occurrence(reminder_id): skips the next scheduled call without changing the recurring pattern. Triggered by 'skip tomorrow's medication reminder'.

test_call(reminder_id): triggers an immediate test call to verify the reminder works. Triggered by 'test my wake-up call now'.

remove_recipient(recipient_id): removes a care recipient. Triggered by 'remove Margaret as a recipient'.
