Scripted demo, not a live Mac recording. Tonight notes.create writes to Apple Notes. Next morning a new chat notes.search reads it back. Calendar and Reminders use the same local loop. Nothing in this GIF is a real capture. Your data stays on your Mac.

A fun macOS MCP that makes your assistant feel like a helpful friend who actually remembers your day. Named in homage to South Park’s Member Berries — those nostalgic little berries that go “'Member …?” — this server brings that same playful “remember when…” energy to your calendar, notes, and reminders.

Not affiliated with South Park or Comedy Central. Just a wink, a berry cluster, and a local memory file.

macOS only. Member Berries drives Apple Calendar, Reminders and Notes through macOS automation, so its tools only work on a Mac. It installs on Linux or Windows, but the tools there will fail.

Quick start

Three steps. Then ask “What's on today?” Bun runs a clone of the source. npm runs the published package.

1. Install the server

   Bun

   brew install bun
   git clone https://github.com/M-Pineapple/member-berries-apple-mcp.git
   cd member-berries-apple-mcp/member-berries
   bun install
   

   Copy

   npm

   Node.js 18 or later is enough. The package on npm is member-berries-apple-mcp (current release 2.1.4). The bin is member-berries-mcp.

   npm install -g member-berries-apple-mcp
   

   Copy

   npx can fetch and run that same bin. It starts the stdio server, which is what an MCP host does:

   npx -y member-berries-apple-mcp
   

   Copy

2. Point your MCP client at it

   Bun

   Claude Desktop example (same bun run …/index.ts command works in ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other MCP host):

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "member-berries": {
         "command": "bun",
         "args": ["run", "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/member-berries-apple-mcp/member-berries/index.ts"]
       }
     }
   }
   

   Copy

   Restart the host after saving.

   npm

   Claude Desktop example (same npx command works in ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other MCP host):

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "member-berries": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "member-berries-apple-mcp"]
       }
     }
   }
   

   Copy

   npx -y member-berries-apple-mcp runs the member-berries-mcp bin. Restart the host after saving. When member-berries-mcp is on your PATH, set command to member-berries-mcp and args to [].

3. Talk to it

   Grant macOS automation / Calendar / Reminders / Notes access when prompted. Keep Reminders open for reminder tools. Then ask “What's on today?”

Optional but tasty: paste member-berries/CLAUDE_PROMPT_SETUP.md into custom instructions for the full Member Berries personality. Built-in starters still work without it.

What is Member Berries?

A personality-first fork of apple-mcp, stripped to Calendar / Notes / Reminders and wrapped in a local day-memory layer:

• "How did your dentist appointment go?" — remembers completed events
• "Don't forget about that presentation at 2pm!" — proactive reminders
• "I see you created that project outline" — tracks your notes
• "What's on today?" — one-shot briefing tool

Same tools, friendlier vibe. The assistant stops sounding like a robot reading a database and starts sounding like someone who 'members your day.

Who is this for?

You are…	Start here
A macOS user who wants an assistant with personality	Install above, paste the optional prompt, ask “What's on today?”
On Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude Code or another MCP host	Bun or npm. See Quick start
Privacy-first	Local ~/.member-berries-memory.json (mode 600). No cloud sync from this server
Already using Memory Service / other Apple MCPs	This is fun day-memory + Apple surfaces, not general conversation memory

---

Features

• Briefing — one briefing / today call for calendar, due reminders, note titles, starters
• Calendar memory — search, list, open, create
• Notes — title + snippet by default; full body on demand
• Reminders — list, search, create, complete, delete, listById
• Member Berries memory — built-in conversation starters ('member energy included)
• Focused scope — Calendar, Notes, Reminders only (no Messages / Mail / Contacts)

---

Usage

Once the host has the server running, talk to it in natural language:

• "What's on today?"
• "How did the dentist appointment go?"
• "Don't forget about that presentation at 2pm"
• "Search my notes for the project outline"
• "Create a reminder to buy milk"

The briefing tool is the one-shot day summary. Calendar, Notes and Reminders cover the rest. See MCP tools and member-berries/README.md for operation names.
