Google Calendar MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for managing Google Calendar reminders with support for time-based and location-based triggers.

Features

• Time-based reminders: "Remind me tomorrow at 9am to call mom"
• Location-based reminders: "Remind me to go to store X when I'm near Hashalom street in Tel Aviv"
• List reminders: View upcoming reminders
• Delete reminders: Remove reminders by ID

2. Create a new project or select an existing one
3. Enable the Google Calendar API:

• title (required): What to be reminded about
• time (required): When to remind (natural language supported)
• description (optional): Additional notes

Examples:

• "remind me tomorrow at 9 to call mom"
