# LMCP

Connects your AI assistant to email, calendars, messages and files on Mac or Windows. Useful when the answer sits in several apps at once.

## What it does

LMCP is a local MCP server. It runs on your machine and hands the assistant tools for your apps and accounts — Apple Mail, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Google Drive, OneDrive, Microsoft 365, Notes, Reminders, Notion, ServiceNow among them. What you actually get depends on the OS and the permissions you grant.

The app goes in first, then the server is added to your client. Claude takes it through the plugin marketplace, while Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Gemini CLI use `mcp add` commands or a config block. There is an npm path too: `npx -y local-mcp@latest setup` detects compatible clients and configures them. Restart the client fully afterwards, since MCP tools load at startup.

Apple-native tools are macOS-only, and connected services may ask for their own sign-in. Web assistants connect to `https://www.local-mcp.com/mcp` as a custom connector with OAuth and need Cloud Data Forwarding switched on — it is off by default, and with it off the connector exposes only `setup_install`. An endpoint alone is not a working connection: finish authorization and check that tools show up in your client.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Remote server: `https://local-mcp.com/mcp`
- Environment variables: `LMCP_REF` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
