Local Mcp

Returns a personalized LMCP install link and setup steps (~30 sec to install). LMCP is a free Mac app that gives access to Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Teams, OneDrive, Notes, Reminders, and 100+ tools on the user's Mac (data stays local). A user would invoke this to install LMCP or reconnect it. Pass os ("macos", or windows/linux/ios/android). Optional: email, step, issue.

Marks an OmniFocus task as complete by task ID or name. Requires confirm=true.

Marks a reminder complete in Apple Reminders (Reminders.app). Requires confirm=true. For Microsoft To Do use todo_complete_task instead.

Adds Local MCP to the config of installed MCP-capable AI clients on this Mac (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed) so they can use LMCP's tools — no manual JSON editing. Read-only PREVIEW unless confirm:true. Optionally pass a single client id to configure just that one. Returns which clients it set up, which already had Local MCP, which aren't installed, and the restart

Connect your Microsoft 365 account. Call once to get a login code, then call again after you've authenticated at microsoft.com/devicelogin to confirm the connection.

No parameter schema on file.

Connect Todoist. For security your API token is entered directly in Local MCP's own settings window — never passed through the AI. Call this to get the instructions, or to check whether Todoist is already connected.

No parameter schema on file.

Creates an event in the Mac's Calendar app (Calendar.app). Requires title, start_date, end_date. Optionally invite attendees by email (CalDAV/Exchange calendars only), or make it a repeating event with recurrence (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly). For Microsoft 365 use m365_create_event instead.

Saves an email to the Mail.app Drafts folder for the user to review and send manually — never sends. Composes a new draft (pass to/subject/body), or a reply draft (pass reply_to_message_id plus body). A reply draft's response includes threaded: true means the saved draft was read back and its headers reference the source message (it will appear inside the conversation); false means it

Creates a new mailbox folder in Mail.app.

Creates a new note in Apple Notes. The body accepts Markdown (headings, bold/italic, bullet/numbered lists, links, inline code) — it's converted to Apple Notes' native formatting. Requires confirm=true to execute.

Creates a new task in OmniFocus. Requires confirm=true to execute.

Records referral invites for the colleagues a user chose to invite and returns a unique referral link per person, so the user can later see who installed or activated LMCP. It does not send anything itself — each returned link can be included in an email or message to that person. lang records the language the invite is written in (e.g. "es", "en").

Creates a reminder in Reminders.app.

Creates a new list in Apple Reminders (Reminders.app). Requires confirm=true.

Returns a single morning briefing combining today's calendar events, overdue and due-today reminders, unread inbox email count + subjects, and — when a location is provided — today's weather. Perfect for starting each day: one call gives you everything on your plate.

Deletes an event from the Mac's Calendar app (Calendar.app) by ID. Requires confirm=true. For a repeating event, pass span='future' to delete the whole series (this and all following occurrences); the default deletes only the single occurrence. For Microsoft 365 use m365_delete_event instead.

Permanently deletes a reminder in Apple Reminders (Reminders.app) by ID. Get the reminder_id from list_reminders. Requires confirm=true.

Deletes an Apple Reminders list AND all reminders inside it — cannot be undone. Pass the list name (or list_id from get_reminder_folders). Requires confirm=true.

Disconnect your Microsoft 365 account and remove stored tokens.

No parameter schema on file.

Disconnect Todoist and remove the stored API token.

No parameter schema on file.

Creates a new Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx file) with headers and optional data rows.

Reads data from an Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx file). Returns the first row as headers and the remaining data rows as rows — mirroring excel_create's headers/rows params, so a read→create round-trip needs no manual row-0 handling.

Writes a value to a specific cell in an Excel file. Address the cell either with cell in A1 notation (e.g. "B2") or with row+column as 1-based integers.

Lists files and folders in a local directory. Defaults to the user's home directory. Returns name, path, type (file/directory), size, and modification date for each item. Sorted: directories first, then files, both alphabetically.

Reads a plain text file from the local filesystem by its absolute path — the primary, default tool for reading a local text file (use this unless the file is a PDF, Word, Excel, or PowerPoint document, which have their own readers). The path must be inside an allowed folder — the same allowlist as file_write (the home directory by default; extend via Settings → Advanced → Allowed folders). A path

Searches for files and folders by name (case-insensitive, partial match) starting from a root directory. Defaults to the home directory. Returns matching items with path, type, and size.

Writes text to a local file — create, overwrite, or append. For .txt/.md/.csv/.json/.log and any plain-text or code file. (For Word use word_create, Excel excel_create, PowerPoint ppt_create.) The path must be inside an allowed folder — the same allowlist as file_read (home directory by default; extend via Advanced Settings → Allowed folders). Overwriting an existing file requires confirm=true (th

Lists files and folders in a directory (Spotlight-free). The path must be inside an allowed folder — the same allowlist as file_read/file_write (the home directory by default; extend via Settings → Advanced → Allowed folders). A path outside the allowlist returns an actionable 'access denied' naming the allowed folders.

Searches for files by name within the allowlist (uses mdfind/Spotlight). Scoped to the allowed folders — the home directory by default (extend via Settings → Advanced → Allowed folders); pass path= to search a specific allowed folder. A path outside the allowlist returns an actionable 'access denied'.

Metadata for a file/folder in the synced Google Drive: size, dates, type. Cheaper than listing the whole directory.

Lists files and folders in a Google Drive path (the locally-synced folder). Use gdrive_root first for valid roots — 'My Drive' and 'Shared drives' live inside each mount. Returns up to limit entries (default 1000).

Reads a text file from the synced Google Drive folder (.txt, .md, .csv, .json, code files...). Note: native Google Docs/Sheets/Slides sync as .gdoc/.gsheet pointers, not real files — export them from Drive or read Office/PDF copies instead. Auto-detects UTF-8 with Latin-1/CP1252 fallback. For files outside Google Drive, use file_read.

Lists the Google Drive folders synced on this Mac (My Drive, Shared drives, per-account mounts). Start here to get valid paths for the other gdrive_* tools. Reads the folder Google Drive for Desktop already syncs — no Google API, no OAuth.

No parameter schema on file.

Searches the synced Google Drive folder for files by name (recursive). Returns up to max_results matches (default 50).

Writes or overwrites a text file in the synced Google Drive folder — it uploads automatically via the official client. First call returns a preview; pass confirm=true to write.

Returns recent LMCP tool call history from the local audit log. Each entry shows timestamp, tool name, call source (local/cloud), success status, and duration. Useful for GDPR Article 30 compliance reporting and debugging.

Returns the current LMCP configuration (api_key masked).

No parameter schema on file.

Gets a contact from the Mac's Contacts app (Contacts.app) by name or ID. Pass name to look up directly by name (no need to search_contacts first — if several people match it returns a compact list to choose from), or contact_id for an exact lookup. For Microsoft 365 use m365_get_contact instead.

Get the current date and time of the machine where LMCP runs — with timezone and UTC offset. Call this whenever you need the real 'now' on the user's computer: before creating calendar events or reminders, resolving relative dates like 'today'/'tomorrow'/'next Friday', or timestamping. Takes no arguments.

No parameter schema on file.

Get detailed information about a specific person in your Microsoft 365 directory by their user ID or email address. Use 'me' to get the currently authenticated user's profile.

Lists the lists (folders) in Apple Reminders (Reminders.app) on this Mac. For Microsoft To Do use todo_get_folders instead.

No parameter schema on file.

Gets the current weather and a short daily forecast for a location. Pass a city name ('London', 'San Francisco', 'Tokyo,JP') or 'lat,lon' coordinates. Uses Open-Meteo — no API key required. Location must be provided (there is no device-location access).

Lists Mail.app email accounts WITH each account's email addresses and type (imap/pop/iCloud). Slower — queries Mail directly. For just the account NAMES (to pass to list_emails(account=...)), prefer list_email_accounts: it's faster (cached, no Mail lock). Use list_accounts only when you specifically need the addresses or account type.

No parameter schema on file.

Lists events from the Mac's Calendar app (Calendar.app, local/iCloud calendars) in a date range, or reads ONE event in full via event_id. List entries preview notes (200 chars, notes_truncated flag) and cap attendees; pass event_id to get the complete notes and full roster. Defaults to today + 7 days. For a Microsoft 365 calendar use m365_list_events instead.

Lists the calendars in the Mac's Calendar app (Calendar.app, local/iCloud). For Microsoft 365 calendars use the m365 calendar tools instead.

No parameter schema on file.

Lists contacts from the macOS Contacts app. Optionally filter by group.

Lists connected displays with bounds (global space, top-left origin, points), backing scale_factor, and which is main. display_id is the CGDirectDisplayID — the SAME value list_windows reports for each window's display_id, so you can map a window to its display. Stable for the session. No permission required.

No parameter schema on file.

Lists all Mail.app account NAMES (fast — cached, no Mail lock). This is the preferred way to get account names: call it first to discover them, then use list_emails(account=name) to fetch messages from a specific account. If you also need each account's email addresses or type (imap/pop/iCloud), use list_accounts instead.

No parameter schema on file.

Lists the full folder (mailbox) tree for Apple Mail (Mail.app) accounts, including nested subfolders. Use this to discover the exact folder names that move_email(target_mailbox=...) and list_emails(mailbox=...) expect. Outlook.com, Exchange, Gmail, iCloud and IMAP accounts added to Mail.app are all included. For a Graph-only Microsoft 365 mailbox not added to Mail.app, use m365_list_emails instead

Use this when the user wants to see or triage their inbox on this Mac (Apple Mail — any account added to Mail.app: iCloud, Gmail, IMAP, Exchange). Lists email headers (subject, sender, date, unread); call read_email(message_id) for the full body. For a Microsoft 365 mailbox NOT added to Mail.app, use m365_list_emails. IMPORTANT: On machines with 3+ accounts, always pass account=<name> (from list_

List the people most relevant to you in Microsoft 365 — based on your communication patterns, collaboration history, and org chart. Useful for meeting prep and contact enrichment.

Lists recent iMessage / Messages.app conversations (chat id, name, service). Start here for Messages — the chat id it returns is what read_messages / search_messages / send_message need.

Returns the macOS privacy (TCC) permissions Local MCP needs that are NOT granted yet, each with a one-click open_url that opens the exact System Settings → Privacy & Security pane. Read-only and passive (never prompts). Use it during setup or before a workflow to tell the user precisely which "Allow" clicks remain (Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Mail Automation, Full Disk Access, Screen Recordin

No parameter schema on file.

Lists notes from Apple Notes app. Optionally filter by folder. Paginated: limit is capped at 500 per call, so page with offset (offset=500 returns notes 501-1000) instead of asking for a bigger limit. The response carries total (how many notes match in all) and has_more (whether anything is left past this page), so you never have to guess whether you got everything — page until has_more

Lists folders in OmniFocus. Folders group related projects (e.g. "Work", "Personal"). Use list_omnifocus_projects to see the projects inside them.

Lists projects in OmniFocus. Start here for OmniFocus (alongside list_omnifocus_folders) — the project name it returns feeds list_omnifocus_tasks / create_omnifocus_task / search_omnifocus_tasks.

Lists all tags defined in OmniFocus.

No parameter schema on file.

Lists tasks from OmniFocus. Filter by project, tag, inbox, due today, or flagged status.

Returns the user's emailable contacts plus an invite template, for recommending LMCP to a colleague. A user would invoke this when they want to invite or recommend someone. Returns a list of candidate contacts and a message template; create_referral_invites then generates each chosen person's unique invite link.

Lists reminders from Apple Reminders (Reminders.app) on this Mac. Optionally filter by completion status or list name. For Microsoft To Do use todo_list_tasks instead.

Lists on-screen windows of any app with window_id, owning app bundle id + name, title, bounds (global space, top-left, points), display_id (the CGDirectDisplayID — matches list_displays, so you can look up which display a window is on), and is_focused. Window TITLES require Screen Recording permission — without it this returns an explicit permission_required error rather than a title-less result.

Checks for and installs a newer LMCP version — a self-upgrade of the LMCP app itself (not editing any of your data). Installing downloads the new version and RESTARTS LMCP (the AI client briefly reconnects), so it requires confirm=true. Pass check_only=true to only report whether a newer version is available, with no download or restart.

Returns a structured snapshot of the LMCP environment: server/tray/teams-proxy versions, detected AI client, cloud relay state, TCC permission states (Calendar/Reminders/Contacts), and a compact summary of which services (Mail/Calendar/Contacts/Teams/OneDrive/Reminders/Notes) are reachable. Fast (<500ms), passive — never prompts the user, never opens app windows, never touches the network. Call th

No parameter schema on file.

Returns LMCP's self-upgrade health (the LMCP app upgrading itself, not editing your data): current version, the last N app-version upgrade attempts with any errors, whether the upgrade cache dir is writable, and any stale LMCP binaries at alternate paths. Call this when the app's auto-upgrade seems stuck, or to explain why a user is on an old version.

Create a calendar event in your Microsoft 365 / Outlook calendar.

Delete a calendar event from your Microsoft 365 / Outlook calendar by its ID.

Get full details of a specific Microsoft 365 contact by ID. Get the ID from m365_list_contacts or m365_search_contacts.

List contacts from your Microsoft 365 / Outlook address book.

Use this when the user wants their Microsoft 365 / Outlook / Exchange inbox via the cloud — requires a connected M365 account (connect_m365_account). Returns subject, sender, date, and preview. For mail already in the Mac's Mail.app (including an Exchange account added there), use list_emails.

List upcoming calendar events from your Microsoft 365 / Outlook calendar.

Use this when the user wants the full content of a Microsoft 365 email (message ID from m365_list_emails/m365_search_emails). Requires a connected M365 account. For a message found via list_emails/search_emails (Apple Mail), use read_email.

Use this when the user wants to reply to a Microsoft 365 email (message ID from m365_list_emails). Requires a connected M365 account. Shows a preview first — set confirm=true to actually send. For replying to a message found in Apple Mail, use reply_email.

Search contacts in your Microsoft 365 address book by name, email, or company.

Use this when the user wants to find emails in their Microsoft 365 / Outlook mailbox via the cloud — requires a connected M365 account. By default searches sender, subject, AND body (Microsoft Graph's own $search default). Pass scope="metadata" to search only sender/subject (faster, no body scan), or scope="body" to search only the message body. For accounts added to the Mac's Mail.app, use search

Use this when the user wants to send from their Microsoft 365 / Outlook account via the cloud — requires a connected M365 account. Shows a preview first — set confirm=true to actually send. For sending from an account configured in the Mac's Mail.app, use send_email.

Reports duration_ms, width, height, fps, whether it has audio, and file size for a video/audio file. Call it before editing to reason about the footage (compute trim ranges, pick a reframe crop). No permission required.

Moves an email to another mailbox (nested target folders are found by name). Pass account= (returned by list_emails/search_emails) so the message lookup targets one account instead of scanning all of them — without it, multi-account Macs are slow and can time out on bulk moves. If you know the folder the message is in, also pass mailbox= (the mailbox field from the listing) so the lookup searche

Run a diagnostic check on NordVPN: installation, login state, connection status, kill switch, and supported protocols. Useful for troubleshooting.

No parameter schema on file.

Get recommended NordVPN servers by country or specialty. Uses NordVPN public API (no account needed). Returns server name, hostname, country, city, load %, and supported technologies.

Check NordVPN connection status: connected/disconnected, auto-connect, snooze, and last known location. Does NOT open NordVPN.

No parameter schema on file.

Lists Notion databases cached on this Mac with their schema (column names and types). Use notion_read_database to get the rows.

No parameter schema on file.

Lists Notion pages cached on this Mac (titles, last edited, hierarchy), newest first. Reads the Notion desktop app's local cache — no Notion API, no integration token. Note: only pages visited in Notion (or marked Available offline) are cached.

Lists the Notion workspaces cached on this Mac with their members (names and emails). Start here for Notion — its output feeds notion_list_databases / notion_list_pages / notion_search.

No parameter schema on file.

Opens a Notion page in the desktop app (deep link). Accepts a page id or title. Useful to let the user view or edit a page, or to pull an uncached page into the local cache.

Reads the cached rows of a Notion database with their properties mapped through the schema. Accepts the database id or name (partial match). Only locally-cached rows are returned.

Reads a Notion page from the local cache and returns its content as markdown (headings, lists, to-dos, code, files, subpage links). Accepts a page id or a title (partial match). If parts of the page aren't cached yet, says so — open the page in Notion or mark it Available offline for full content.

Searches cached Notion content (page titles and block text) for a phrase, case-insensitive. Returns matching blocks with the page they belong to. Only locally-cached content is searched — pages never opened in Notion won't match.

Deletes a file or empty folder from OneDrive.

Returns metadata for a file or folder: size, modification date, type, and extension. Faster than listing the parent directory when you only need info about one item.

Lists files and folders in a OneDrive path. Use onedrive_root to find valid paths. Returns up to limit entries (default 1000, max 5000); large folders are truncated with a note — narrow the path for more specific results.

Moves or renames a file/folder within OneDrive.

Reads a text file from your OneDrive synced folder. Supports .txt, .md, .csv, .json, .xml, .log and several code file types. Auto-detects UTF-8, falls back to Latin-1/Windows-1252 for legacy files (common in Latin American banking .TXT padrones). For files elsewhere on this Mac, use file_read.

Lists all mounted OneDrive directories on this Mac. Start here for OneDrive — the mount paths it returns are what the other onedrive_* tools (onedrive_list_files, onedrive_read_file, onedrive_search_files) need.

No parameter schema on file.

Searches for files by name in a OneDrive directory (recursive). Returns up to max_results matches (default 50); raise max_results or narrow the root for more.

Restricts LMCP's OneDrive access to a specific folder. Once set, all OneDrive tools (read, write, list, search, delete, move) only work inside the allowed folder. Pass an empty folder to remove the restriction. Changes take effect immediately.

Writes text content to a file in OneDrive.

Checks which email accounts are configured in Microsoft Outlook and compares them with Mail.app. If Outlook has accounts not in Mail.app, guides the user to add them so all email tools work seamlessly.

No parameter schema on file.

Reads and extracts text from a PDF document (.pdf file).

Reports the TCC permission state (screen recording, accessibility, microphone) this app needs to capture the screen and drive other apps' UI. Call it before a capture/automation run and surface the grant hints instead of failing mid-sequence. Screen Recording / Accessibility are granted in System Settings (not a JIT dialog); the URLs open the exact pane.

No parameter schema on file.

Creates a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx) at path from an array of slides, each {title, bullets:[…]}. Requires confirm=true — called without it, returns a preview of the deck instead of writing the file. The path must be somewhere Local MCP can write; Desktop/Documents/Downloads may need a one-time Files-and-Folders grant (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Files and Folders). Returns {creat

Reads slide text content from a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx file).

Use this when the user wants the full content of an email that lives in the Mac's Apple Mail (message ID from list_emails/search_emails). For a Microsoft 365 message ID from m365_list_emails, use m365_read_email. Pass account= (and mailbox= if known, both from list_emails/search_emails) so the lookup targets one account instead of scanning all of them. Call sequentially, not in parallel — concurre

Reads messages from an iMessage conversation by chat ID or contact name.

Reads the full content of a note by name or ID.

Use this when the user wants to remove one of THEIR saved recipes/skills (the manifests under ~/.local/share/local-mcp/recipes). Destructive with a preview gate: the first call (without confirm) shows what would be deleted; call again with confirm=true to actually delete. Bundled starter recipes can't be deleted. To modify a recipe instead, recipe_save with the same name overwrites it (upsert).

Browses installable community SKILLS — ready-made LMCP workflows other people published (a morning brief, inbox triage, a weekly report). A user would browse them to find a ready-made workflow for a repeatable multi-app task instead of building it from scratch. Returns a list of {id, title, category, description, steps, votes}; install one with recipe_install(id).

Exports a saved SKILL (recipe) as a single portable token the user can send to someone else — paste it in a message, email, or doc. The recipient installs it with recipe_import and runs it with recipe_run. A user would export a skill to share it with a teammate (a handy brief, a report, a workflow). Returns {name, skill_token} plus the readable manifest.

Returns the full manifest of a recipe by name. recipe_not_found if unknown.

Installs a SKILL someone shared with you — pass the skill_token from their recipe_export (or a raw recipe manifest JSON). Saves it to this Mac so recipe_run can use it. Safe: importing only stores the skill; when it's later run, any state-changing step (send/write/delete) previews first and needs confirmation. If a skill with the same name already exists, the import is saved under a non-colliding

Installs a community SKILL by id (from recipe_discover) onto this Mac so recipe_run can use it. Safe: installing only stores the skill; when it's later run, any state-changing step (send/write/delete) previews first and needs confirmation. If a skill with the same name already exists, it's saved under a non-colliding name. Returns {name, installed}.

Lists the user's reusable SKILLS — saved recipes (an ordered sequence of LMCP tool calls with parameters), plus bundled ones — each runnable with recipe_run. Skills turn a repeated LMCP workflow into one reusable command. A user would list them to find an existing skill for a task rather than rebuilding it from scratch. Returns each skill's name, description, and steps.

No parameter schema on file.

Executes a recipe end to end: binds params, runs each step's tool in order via the registry, persists the run (see recipe_runs), and returns each step's result plus any markers_path. Recipes with state-changing steps (write/send/delete) PREVIEW first — call again with confirm:true to execute; read-only recipes run immediately. A step that errors stops the run and is reported.

Shows the history of past recipe runs and their results (recorded by recipe_run), so you can reuse, compare, or debug an automation. Pass name for one recipe's runs, or omit for a compact history across all recipes. Pass run_id (with name) to get that run in full detail. Newest first.

Saves a reusable SKILL — a named recipe (an ordered sequence of LMCP tool calls with parameters) — to this Mac so the user can re-run it anytime with recipe_run. A user would save one to turn a multi-step LMCP workflow they repeat (a morning brief, inbox triage, a weekly report, a data pull) into a single reusable command. Saved skills can be shared with other people via recipe_export. The manifes

Drops a named marker into the active recording's timeline. t_ms is elapsed ms since recording start. Provide bounds (global points, top-left) to zoom toward an element, or omit for full-frame. note becomes a caption source. Returns no_active_session if nothing is recording.

Renames an existing Apple Reminders list. Pass the current list name (or list_id from get_reminder_folders) and new_name. Requires confirm=true.

Use this when the user wants to reply to an email that lives in the Mac's Apple Mail (message ID from list_emails/search_emails). Supports plain text or HTML body. For a Microsoft 365 message ID from m365_list_emails, use m365_reply_email. Pass account (from list_emails/search_emails results) to skip scanning other accounts and avoid timeouts on multi-account Macs.

Send an ANONYMOUS, content-free signal when an LMCP tool fails, returns nothing useful, the user seems frustrated, or you could not accomplish what they asked. Helps the LMCP team find and fix the roughest spots. Send ONLY the category + the tool name — NEVER the user's request, message/email content, account names, or any personal data. No confirmation needed: this is anonymous (categories only)

Sends a problem report, feature request, or integration request to the LMCP team — for when a user wants to report a bug, ask for a new capability, or request support for an app LMCP doesn't cover yet. Without confirm=true it returns a preview of the anonymous payload that would be sent (version, OS, permission status, and recent tool names / error-type codes — never arguments, messages or persona

Submits a feature request to the LMCP team — a new capability, a tool that doesn't exist yet, or an app/integration the user wishes LMCP supported. A user would invoke this when they want to ask the team for something LMCP can't do yet. Without confirm=true it returns a preview; with confirm=true it submits. The request includes the machine ID and (if set) the account email so the team can follow

Runs a fast health check of all LMCP integrations on this machine. Shows what works, what doesn't, and how to fix it. Optionally submits a report to the LMCP team.

Saves an attachment from an email to disk. Requires confirm=true; without it you get a preview of where the file would be written. Pass account= (and mailbox= if known, both from list_emails/search_emails) so the lookup targets one account instead of scanning all of them.

Begins a screen recording (ScreenCaptureKit) of a display, window, or region. Single active session in v1 — a second start returns already_recording. Returns a session_id used by record_marker and screen_record_stop. Requires Screen Recording permission; without it returns an explicit permission_required error, never a silent no-op.

Reports whether a recording is active, with the session_id, elapsed_ms, output path, and marker_count.

Stops the active recording, finalizes the .mov, and writes the marker timeline JSON (§6) next to it. Returns the video path, duration, resolution, marker_count and markers_path. Returns no_active_session if nothing is recording.

Captures a single frame of a display, window, or region to a PNG. Requires Screen Recording permission; without it returns an explicit permission_required, never a blank image.

Searches the Mac's Contacts app (Contacts.app, local/iCloud) by name, email, or phone number. For a Microsoft 365 directory use m365_search_contacts or search_m365_directory instead.

Use this when the user wants to find specific emails on this Mac (Apple Mail — any account added to Mail.app). Searches subject and sender by default; pass scope="body" or scope="all" to also search the message body (see search_coverage in the response — a body search can be partial while its local index is still building). For a Microsoft 365 mailbox NOT added to Mail.app, use m365_search_emails.

Search your organization's Microsoft 365 directory for users by name or email. Returns matching users with their title, department, and contact info.

Searches iMessage conversations by content, sender name, or date range.

Searches Apple Notes by title or content. Paginated: limit is capped at 100 per call, so page with offset instead of asking for a bigger limit. The response carries total (how many notes match the query in all) and has_more, so a capped page is never mistaken for the complete answer — page until has_more is false, which is exact even when total_is_estimated says the count is only a lo

Searches OmniFocus tasks by name or note content.

Use this when the user wants to send an email from an account configured in the Mac's Apple Mail. Composes and sends via Mail.app; supports plain text or HTML body. For sending from a Microsoft 365 account NOT added to Mail.app, use m365_send_email. Pass from to send from a specific configured Mail.app account instead of the default sender. Pass attachments as a comma-separated list of absolut

Sends an iMessage via the Mac's Messages.app to a recipient handle (phone number with country code, e.g. +14155551234, or an Apple ID email). This is a write operation: the first call (without confirm) returns a preview; call again with confirm=true to actually send. Direct (1:1) iMessage only — sending into an existing group chat isn't supported yet. Requires Messages.app signed in to iMessage +

Composes a Signal message and returns step-by-step guidance for the user to send it themselves. This tool does NOT send: Signal Desktop exposes no local send API and LMCP reads its database read-only, so it cannot transmit Signal messages. Call it when the user wants to message someone on Signal — it drafts the text and tells them how to deliver it. First call (show_send_steps=false or omitted) re

Connect Signal to Local MCP. Reports whether Signal Desktop is installed and signed in, and tells you exactly what to do next — install Signal, or open it and link your phone. (Signal links inside its own desktop app, so the QR is shown there, not here.) Once you're signed in, signal_list_chats / signal_read_messages work. If Signal is already connected, it just reports that.

No parameter schema on file.

Lists Signal conversations (chats) with last-active timestamps. Reads from the local Signal Desktop database — no network access required. Returns chat IDs, contact names, and type (direct or group). Use the chat_id in subsequent signal_read_messages calls.

Reads messages from a specific Signal chat. The chat_id must come from a previous signal_list_chats call. Returns messages in chronological order with sender phone numbers and body text. Only messages cached locally by Signal Desktop are available.

Full-text search across locally-cached Signal messages. Only messages Signal Desktop has stored on disk are searched — no network access required. Optionally restrict search to a specific chat_id.

Lists channels in a Slack workspace, including public channels, private channels, and direct messages (DMs). Reads from the local IndexedDB cache — only channels that Slack Desktop has synced to disk are returned. Pass workspace_id from slack_list_workspaces to filter to a specific workspace.

Lists the Slack workspaces (teams) the user has connected in Slack Desktop. Start here for Slack — the workspace id it returns is what slack_list_channels / slack_read_channel_messages / slack_search_messages need. Reads from the local IndexedDB cache — no token needed. Only workspaces that have been synced to disk are returned.

No parameter schema on file.

Reads recent messages from a Slack channel or DM. Reads from the local IndexedDB cache — only messages that Slack Desktop has synced to disk are available (typically the last few hundred messages for active channels). channel_id must come from slack_list_channels.

Searches Slack messages across locally-cached channels using full-text substring matching. Only messages that Slack Desktop has synced to disk are searched — this is not the Slack cloud search API. Optionally restrict search to a specific channel_id.

Gets historical price data for a stock symbol. Range: 1d, 5d, 1mo, 3mo, 6mo, 1y, 2y, 5y, 10y, ytd, max.

Gets current stock price and market data for one or more symbols (e.g. AAPL, MSFT, BTC-USD). Uses Yahoo Finance — no API key required.

Searches for a stock ticker symbol by company name (e.g. "Apple" → AAPL). Start here for Stocks — the symbol it returns is what stocks_get_quote / stocks_get_chart need.

Shows or submits the short in-product survey Local MCP assigned to this machine. Called with NO arguments it returns the pending survey and, in clients that support MCP Apps, renders it as an interactive card the user answers directly — prefer this. To submit conversational answers instead, pass answers keyed by each question's id (single/scale = one value, multiple = an array of values): call

Skips the short in-product survey Local MCP showed the user, for now — use this when the user doesn't want to answer right now. They won't be asked again this session.

Reads Microsoft Teams call & meeting history from the Mac's local Teams cache — no Graph API, no token, no admin consent (the same local store the Teams Calls tab renders). Each call includes direction (incoming/outgoing/missed), participants (names + ids), start / answered / end times, duration, call type (1:1/group/meeting) and a stable call id. Optional since/until (YYYY-MM-DD) narrow the range

Lists channels in a Microsoft Teams workspace. Returns channels that are cached in the local Teams client. If the result is empty, the channels have not been loaded into the local cache yet — ask the user to open Microsoft Teams and browse to the team's channels, then try again.

Lists Microsoft Teams chats (direct messages and group chats).

Lists all the Microsoft Teams the user belongs to. Start here for Teams channels — the team id it returns feeds teams_list_channels / teams_read_channel_messages. (For 1:1 and group chats, list_message-style, use teams_list_chats.)

No parameter schema on file.

Reads messages from a Microsoft Teams channel.

Reads messages from a Teams chat or direct message thread.

Searches your Microsoft Teams chat and direct-message history (all conversations at once) by text, sender name, and/or date range. Use this to find where something was discussed in Teams without knowing which chat. Returns matching messages with the chat they came from. Provide at least one of query, from_sender, since, until.

Sends a text message to a Microsoft Teams channel via Graph API. Requires connect_m365_account with Chat.ReadWrite / ChannelMessage.Send permissions. team_id and channel_id must come from teams_list_teams / teams_list_channels. First call returns a preview; set confirm=true to send.

Sends a text message to a Microsoft Teams chat or channel. Requires Microsoft Teams to be running and signed in (token is read fresh from Teams' local cookies on each call). The chat_id MUST come from a previous teams_list_chats call — never fabricate ids. This is a write operation: the first call returns a preview, the second call (with confirm=true) actually sends. sent:true means the message wa

Marks a Microsoft To Do task as complete (via Reminders sync).

Creates a task in Microsoft To Do (via Reminders sync). Task appears in To Do automatically once synced.

Lists Microsoft To Do task lists. Requires Microsoft account in Reminders sync (System Settings → Internet Accounts → Microsoft Exchange → enable Reminders).

No parameter schema on file.

Lists tasks from a Microsoft To Do list (or any Reminders list). Syncs via macOS Reminders.

Mark a Todoist task complete (closes it). Pass the task_id from todoist_list_tasks.

Create a Todoist task. Optionally set a project, a natural-language due date (due_string, e.g. 'tomorrow 5pm', 'every monday'), and priority (1=normal … 4=urgent).

List your Todoist projects (id + name). Use a project's id to scope todoist_list_tasks or todoist_create_task.

No parameter schema on file.

List active (incomplete) Todoist tasks. Optionally scope to a project_id, or pass a Todoist filter (e.g. 'today', 'overdue', '#Work & p1').

Clicks an element (by element_ref, at its center) or a screen coordinate (by coords). button left|right, count 2 = double-click. Returns {clicked, at:{x,y}} — clicked means the click event was POSTED at those coordinates, NOT that the app acted on it: CGEvent carries no delivery confirmation, so a busy, modal or input-ignoring app reports exactly the same success. Confirm the effect with ui_wait

GUI automation — control a native app's interface. Finds an element (button, field, menu…) in an app's accessibility tree by role and/or label. Scope with app_bundle_id or window_id. Returns an opaque element_ref (usable by ui_click / ui_get_element this session) plus role, label, bounds, enabled, focused. found=false when the app is reachable but no element matches; app_not_found is an explicit e

Re-resolves a previously returned element_ref (its bounds/state may have changed). Returns role, label, bounds, enabled, focused, value. stale_element if the handle is unknown or the element no longer exists.

Sends a key combination, e.g. "cmd+shift+5", "return", "cmd+,", "escape". Modifiers: cmd, shift, alt/option, ctrl, fn. The last token is the key. unknown_key if the key isn't recognized. Requires Accessibility permission.

Clicks a status-bar (menu bar extra / NSStatusItem) item and optionally follows a nested menu path. Best-effort via the app's AX extras menu bar; apps that render fully custom (non-AX) menus may not be reachable (fall back to ui_click at known coords). Requires Accessibility permission.

Returns a COMPACT accessibility tree of a running native app's labeled + interactive elements (buttons, links, text fields, checkboxes, menus…) — the native equivalent of web_read's a11y mode. Use it to DISCOVER what to act on in an unfamiliar app when you don't already know an element's role/label (ui_find_element needs one up front). Each interactive node carries a ref you can pass straight to

Types text into the focused control (or focuses element_ref first, then types). Sends real key events so validation/handlers fire. Requires Accessibility permission.

Deterministic synchronization — replaces all sleeps. Polls for an element until it reaches state (present|enabled|focused|absent) or times out. A timeout is an EXPLICIT error, never a false success. Returns {satisfied, waited_ms, element_ref?, bounds?}.

Updates an existing event in the Mac's Calendar app (Calendar.app) by ID. Pass only the fields you want to change — unspecified fields are left as-is. Get the event_id from list_calendar_events. For Microsoft 365 use the m365 calendar tools instead.

Updates an existing note in Apple Notes. Change the title and/or body (the body accepts Markdown, converted to Apple Notes' native formatting). Find note_id with list_notes or search_notes. Requires confirm=true.

Updates an existing reminder in Reminders.app. Change the title, due date, notes, priority, or move it to another list (list_name). Get reminder_id from list_reminders. Requires confirm=true.

Pixelates/blurs one or more rectangles over the video — the tool for redacting PII (an email pane, a name) before publishing a screen recording. Rects are in source pixels, top-left origin: [{x,y,w,h, start_ms?, end_ms?}] — omit the times to cover the whole clip. Great with a marker timeline's bounds. Returns the output path.

Stitches multiple videos end-to-end, in order, into one NEW file (e.g. assemble separate acts). All inputs should share a resolution for a clean result. Returns the output path + duration.

Exports a video (or a [start_ms,end_ms] slice of it) to an optimized looping GIF — for README/social. fps (default 12) and width (default 640, height auto) control size. Returns the output path, frame count, and size.

Crops a video to a target aspect ratio (e.g. "9:16" vertical, "1:1" square, "4:5") around a focus point — for social clips. Takes the LARGEST crop of that aspect that fits, centered on focus (x,y in source pixels, top-left origin; default = center) and clamped to the frame. Audio passes through. Returns the output path + new dimensions.

Trims a video to one or more time ranges (milliseconds), concatenated in order into a NEW file — e.g. keep [{start_ms:0,end_ms:6000},{start_ms:126000,end_ms:223000}] to drop a dead segment. Audio is carried along. Returns the output path + duration. Never overwrites the input in place.

Clicks an element on the current page. target is a CSS selector or visible text (resolved fresh each call). Clicks that SUBMIT a form preview first — call again with confirm:true to execute; plain links/buttons click directly. Returns the resulting URL/title.

Scrapes structured data from the current page. Pass selectors = an object mapping field names to CSS selectors (e.g. {"title":"h1","price":".price"}); returns each field's first-match text/href, null when absent.

Finds elements on the current page of a web session so you can decide what to click or type into. query is a CSS selector OR visible text to match. Returns up to 30 matches with tag/text/name/type/href — never a silent empty.

Opens a real browser window on the Mac for the user to sign into a website themselves (you never handle their password). After they log in, the session is saved on this Mac and reused by web_navigate/web_read/web_screenshot — they won't need to log in again. Use a stable session name per site (e.g. 'linkedin'). NOTE: automating sites like Instagram/LinkedIn may violate their terms — the user acc

Navigates a web session to a URL (using its saved login if any) and returns the resulting URL + page title. Opens the session if it doesn't exist. CHECK loaded before reading: when it is false the page did not load and message says why — reading the session then describes a blank document, not the site. Read the page with web_read.

Reads the current page of a web session so you can reason over it. mode='text' (visible text, default), 'a11y' (compact accessible tree of links/buttons/fields — best for deciding what to click), or 'html' (raw DOM). Returns an explicit no_session error if the session isn't open, and no_page if it hasn't loaded a page — never a silent empty.

Captures a PNG screenshot of the current page of a web session (returned inline so web AIs can see it). Useful to ground what the page looks like before acting.

Closes a web-automation session's window and frees it. The saved login stays on disk, so web_login/web_navigate can reopen it later without signing in again.

Lists your web-automation login profiles: every SAVED login (persisted on disk, so web_login/web_navigate can reopen it without signing in again) plus which are currently OPEN. Each entry has saved (a persisted profile exists) and open (its window is live now, with url + title). Use it to check whether a login a recipe needs already exists before running it, instead of opening it and failing.

Brings a web session's browser window to the FRONT so the USER can take over directly — solve a CAPTCHA, complete 2FA, or make a choice the AI shouldn't. Local MCP never solves CAPTCHAs itself; this hands control to the user. Pair with web_screenshot first to show them what's on the page. After they finish, tell the agent to continue — the session keeps its state.

Types text into a form field (input/textarea) on the current page. target is a CSS selector or the field's visible label/placeholder. Does NOT submit — use web_click on the submit button afterwards (that step is gated). SPECIAL CASE — file inputs: if target resolves to an <input type="file">, text is instead treated as a LOCAL FILE PATH on this Mac and the file is attached (JS can't set a fi

Waits (polls, not a fixed sleep) until an element appears on the page, or times out. Use for SPA pages that hydrate after load. Prefer selector (a CSS selector, e.g. "input[name=password]"). condition also accepts the form "document.querySelector('...')"; any OTHER JavaScript condition runs arbitrary code on the page (same power as web_eval) and is disabled when LMCP is in read-only mode. Retu

Brings a window (by window_id from list_windows) to the front and activates its app. window_not_found if it can't be resolved. Requires Accessibility permission.

Pins a window (by window_id) to fixed bounds {x,y,w,h} in global points, so every take is framed identically across runs. Returns the actual post-constraint bounds. Requires Accessibility permission.

Appends text to the end of an existing Word (.docx) document at path, preserving the document's existing content and formatting. Requires confirm=true — called without it, returns a preview instead of modifying the file. Same file-access rules as word_create (Desktop/Documents/Downloads may need a Files-and-Folders grant). Returns {appended, chars_appended, path}. To create a new document use wo

Creates a new Word (.docx) document at path with the given text content (and an optional title rendered as the heading). Requires confirm=true — called without it, returns a preview of what will be written instead of creating the file. The path must be somewhere Local MCP can write; Desktop/Documents/Downloads may need a one-time Files-and-Folders grant (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Fi

Reads text content from a Word document (.docx file).

Lists Zoom meeting recordings saved locally on this Mac (~/Documents/Zoom), newest first: meeting name, date, and which artifacts exist (transcript, captions, saved chat, audio, video). Local recordings only — no Zoom API, no admin approval. Use zoom_read_transcript to read the text of a meeting.

No parameter schema on file.

Reads the text artifacts of a local Zoom recording: the transcript/captions (.vtt or closed_caption.txt, cleaned to readable 'Speaker: text' lines) and the saved in-meeting chat. Pass the recording name or path from zoom_list_recordings. Perfect for 'summarize my last meeting' or 'what did we agree on in the kickoff call'.
