MCP SERVER

Local MCP (LMCP)

by lanchuske ↗

Your Mac's own apps as tools — Mail, Calendar, Messages, Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, Notes, Finder — read locally, with no API keys or OAuth for the data.

Team Chat Platforms
Summary
Reads the Teams cache instead of asking your tenant admin for consent.

That is the sharpest difference from a cloud connector: the messages are already on your Mac, so there is no Azure AD app, no Graph token and no admin approval in the path. The same trick covers Slack, iMessage and synced Drive folders. The cost is scope — macOS only, proprietary, and web AIs need the relay turned on before they can reach anything. Writes are preview-and-confirm, which is the right default for a server that can send mail.

What it is

LMCP, a macOS server that reaches your installed applications through native frameworks rather than vendor cloud APIs. Teams messages come from the local cache, Calendar from EventKit, Mail through AppleScript, Contacts through CNContactStore.

What you get
  • 188+ tools across 22 app categories
  • Mail, Outlook and Microsoft 365 for reading, searching and replying; Calendar and Reminders for scheduling; Contacts for lookups
  • Microsoft Teams and Slack read from the local cache — no Azure AD registration, no tenant admin approval, no Graph tokens
  • Messages reads iMessage from the local database; WhatsApp goes through an unofficial client that needs a QR-code sign-in; Signal is read-only from its local database
  • OneDrive, Google Drive, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF read and create files from the synced folders on disk
  • fs_search and fs_read make any local folder searchable, including an Obsidian vault or a Dropbox sync folder
  • A 13-tool web-automation engine with persistent sessions drives any website, and Safari automation covers navigation, clicking, typing and running JavaScript
  • Notion, OmniFocus, ServiceNow, Zoom, Stocks and NordVPN round out the list
  • Read operations run immediately; write operations show a preview and require confirmation
  • request_feature and report_problem are callable from the client itself
Requirements

macOS 13 or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. Install with the shell installer from local-mcp.com or the Mac app; it auto-configures Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code and Zed over stdio. Web clients such as ChatGPT and Claude.ai reach it only through the opt-in Cloud Relay, which needs a token from the menu bar app. Access is granted through the standard macOS permission prompts and revocable in System Settings. Proprietary software, free with a permanent licence. Windows and Linux are not supported.

Setup effort

One command — curl -fsSL 'https://local-mcp.com/install?ref=github-releases' | bash
