remind-mcp

MCP server for Remind — read your classes, chats and messages, and manage notification settings.

This project was developed and is maintained by AI. Use at your own discretion.

Remind exposes a single GraphQL endpoint that is reachable server-side, so only the credential needs a browser: the session is lifted once from a signed-in tab through the fetchproxy bridge, and every request after that is a plain server-side fetch.

Install

npx -y @chrischall/remind-mcp
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remind": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@chrischall/remind-mcp"] }
  }
}

Authentication

Two headers are captured from a signed-in remind.com tab: the full Cookie header and the x-csrf-token value. Either let the bridge capture them (needs the Transporter Chrome extension and a signed-in tab), or supply them yourself:

VariableRequiredDescription
REMIND_COOKIEnoCaptured Cookie request header. Skips the bridge when set with the next one.
REMIND_CSRF_TOKENnoCaptured x-csrf-token value.
REMIND_WS_PORTnofetchproxy bridge concentrator port (default 37149).
REMIND_SESSION_FILEnoWhere the captured session is cached. Defaults to $MCP_DATA_DIR/$HOME under .remind-mcp.

The server boots without either, so a host's install-time tools/list probe succeeds; the error surfaces on the first tool call instead.

The browser is needed once. A captured session is cached (mode 0600) and reused across restarts, and every call after the bootstrap is a plain server-side fetch. This matters because the capture completes only while the signed-in tab is actually issuing a /graphql request — so without the cache, a restart would sit waiting unless you happened to be using Remind.

Tools

Tool
remind_meThe signed-in account.
remind_list_entitiesClasses and chats with unread counts — start here, it yields the uuids.
remind_get_classesFull class detail by uuid.
remind_list_chatsConversation streams and their permissions (canSend).
remind_get_messagesMessages in a chat stream.
remind_get_notification_settingsPreferences and delivery devices.
remind_set_notification_devicesEnable/disable delivery devices. Confirm-gated.
remind_send_messageSend to a chat or class. Confirm-gated.
remind_graphqlArbitrary read-only GraphQL; introspection is enabled. Mutations refused.
remind_healthcheckVerify the session still authenticates.

Write tools take confirm: true. Without it they make no network call and return a dry-run preview of the exact payload.

Without the server

skills/remind-fpx/ is a shell-only skill covering the same read surface with fpx + curl — no MCP process required.

Notes

  • An expired session returns HTTP 200 with errors[0].message = "Unauthorized"; the same string also means "your account may not do that" (scheduled messages are owner/teacher-only).
  • An unknown field reports as Internal service error, not a field error — introspect rather than guess. docs/REMIND-API.md is the capture log.

Installation

Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:

bash
npx -y @chrischall/remind-mcp

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

json

      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@chrischall/remind-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
