Local MCP (LMCP)

Real recording — Claude.ai (web) using a Mac's apps through LMCP's Cloud Relay: ask → tools run → you approve → done. Captured with LMCP's own screen-capture tools.

Native tools across 20 categories — Mail, Calendar, Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, OneDrive, Microsoft 365, Notes, OmniFocus, ServiceNow, and more

Status at a glance — all your Mac apps connected

215+ tools across 22 app categories. Read operations run instantly. Write operations (send email, delete event) show a preview and require confirmation.

Most MCP servers call cloud APIs. LMCP talks directly to macOS frameworks:

- EventKitfor Calendar — reads all providers (iCloud, Google, Exchange)
- AppleScript/JXAfor Mail — works with any IMAP account
- LevelDBfor Teams — reads the local IndexedDB cache, no Graph API needed
- CNContactStorefor Contacts — native framework, no app launch required
- File systemfor OneDrive, Word, Excel, PowerPoint

This means:no API keys, no OAuth, no rate limits, works offline, sub-second responses.

The most technically interesting part: Teams messages are read directly from the local LevelDB cache at:

~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.teams2/.../IndexedDB/https_teams.microsoft.com_0.indexeddb.leveldb

No Azure AD registration, no tenant admin approval, no OAuth tokens. Just the messages already cached on your Mac.

Claude.ai and ChatGPT can't reach localhost. Enable Cloud Relay in the menu bar app — a secure WebSocket tunnel routes requests to your local server. Your data is encrypted in transit and never stored.

There are several Mac MCP servers — they optimize for different things. An honest read:

Where LMCP is unique:the work & messaging apps most people live in —Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, Microsoft 365— read locally with no API keys,andreachable from web AIs like ChatGPT and Claude.ai. Apple-native-only servers stop at Apple apps; cloud aggregators need OAuth and route your data through their servers.

Recipes — what your AI cando(not just read)

- Schedule a meeting end-to-end— find a free slot, message the person on emailandWhatsApp with options, and book it when they confirm. (No cloud scheduler reaches a personal WhatsApp; LMCP does.)
- Triage across every channel— "Across my Slack, WhatsApp, Teams and email, what did clients ask that I haven't answered?"
- Mirror busy time— copy work meetings onto your personal calendar as privateBusyblocks.

Anything the agentsendsis preview-and-confirm — you approve before it leaves your Mac.

The things people most often want their AI to reach — and the ones cloud connectors can't:

Does LMCP send my data to the cloud?No. The tools run on your own machine and read directly from your installed apps. There is no cloud processing and LMCP's servers never store your data. The optional Cloud Relay is an encrypted tunnel that lets a cloud AI (ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Grok) trigger a tool on your machine — the result is produced locally and the backend doesn't persist tool responses.

Can ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor read my email, calendar, or Teams without API keys or OAuth?Yes. LMCP exposes them as MCP tools that read your local apps directly — no Microsoft Graph tokens, no Google API keys, no OAuth setup for the data.

How is this different from a cloud automation platform?Cloud automation platforms route your data through their servers. LMCP runs the tools on your computer and returns results straight to your AI, so nothing transits a third-party cloud. Choose LMCP when privacy and local-first matter; choose a hosted platform when you want cloud-hosted multi-step workflows.

How is it different from a cloud MCP connector or a Graph-API integration?Those authenticate against vendor cloud APIs (OAuth tokens, tenant-admin consent). LMCP reads the apps already on your machine — Mail, the local Teams/Slack cache, synced OneDrive — with no API keys and no admin approval for the data.

Can it read Microsoft Teams or Slack without the Graph API or admin tokens?Yes. It reads the Teams and Slack data already cached locally on your machine.

Can my AI read and write local Excel, Word, PowerPoint, or PDF files?Yes — it reads and creates Office documents and reads PDFs locally, without uploading them anywhere.

How much does it cost?Free, no paid tier yet — a permanent license, not a 14-day trial, no subscription.

- Cloud connectors— ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Grok, Perplexity, and OpenClaw via the encrypted relay
- Microsoft Teams— readandsend chats and channel messages (no Graph API)
- Slack— read channels, DMs, search (local cache)
- WhatsApp— read, search & send, send files (local client)
- Microsoft 365— Outlook.com / work accounts via device-code login (mail, calendar, directory, contacts)
- ServiceNow— incidents and Knowledge Base
- Google Drive— read, write & search the locally-synced folder (no Google API)
- Zoom— local meeting recordings & transcripts (no Zoom API)
- Safari— browser automation (navigate, click, type, fill forms, run JS)
- Stocks & NordVPN— quotes, charts, VPN status
- Guides in 12 languages

- On-device image generation (Apple Image Playground)
- Telegram
- Deeper Obsidian integration (vault links, backlinks, daily notes)
- Persistent AI memory across sessions

Already works today via the file tools:any local folder is searchable and readable right now — including yourObsidian vaultand yourGoogle DriveorDropboxsync folders — withfs_search,fs_read, and the Finder tools. No dedicated integration needed to read those files.

Run this in Terminal to completely remove LMCP:

curl -fsSL 'https://local-mcp.com/uninstall' | bash

This stops all background processes, removes the auto-start LaunchAgent, deletes the app and binaries, and cleans up the MCP entries from Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other AI clients. Your emails, calendar, and other data are never stored by LMCP and remain untouched.
