No cloud. No tokens. No API keys. 100% free.

 

Install

Method		Best for
Installer	Download LMCP-Installer.pkg	Most users and managed fleets (MDM-deployable)
Terminal	curl -fsSL 'https://local-mcp.com/install?ref=npm' | bash	One-line setup
npx	npx -y local-mcp@latest setup	Configuring AI clients from an existing Node environment

Auto-detects and configures Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and Zed. Restart your AI client once.

Cursor users: LMCP tools only appear in Agent mode. Open a new Composer window (⌘I) and make sure the mode selector shows Agent (not Chat or Edit). Without Agent mode, the tools are installed but invisible.

Safety

• Email send/reply always shows a preview before sending — you confirm first
• Calendar events require an explicit calendar name — never created in the wrong one
• All destructive operations require confirmation
• HTML email support via the html_body parameter

 

Privacy

Full policy: local-mcp.com/en/privacy.

• What we collect from your apps: Nothing. Reading email, calendar, contacts, messages, files, and other Mac apps runs entirely on your machine — no email content, calendar events, contacts, messages, or file contents are ever transmitted to our servers or any third party. No API keys or accounts are required for your apps.
• Anonymous telemetry: server/OS version, CPU architecture, uptime, a hashed machine ID, and tool-call counts (never content). No personal information included. Disable in LMCP Settings.
• Optional cloud relay: opt-in and disabled by default. When enabled, MCP traffic you initiate passes through an encrypted WebSocket tunnel and is never stored; only the email used to associate the tunnel is retained.
• Third-party sharing: none. Hosting/CDN providers (Railway, Cloudflare) never receive your personal Mac data.
• Retention: heartbeats 90 days; install events 12 months (anonymized after); account records for their duration + 1 year; feedback until resolved or deleted on request.
• Contact: privacy and data-rights requests — [e-mail].

 

Requirements

• macOS 13 Ventura or later (Apple Silicon and Intel)
• One of: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed

Config file locations

Client	Path
Claude Desktop	~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Claude Code	~/.claude.json
Cursor	~/.cursor/mcp.json
Windsurf	~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
VS Code	~/.vscode/mcp.json

Commands

npx -y local-mcp@latest setup     # configure all detected AI clients
npx -y local-mcp@latest update    # force re-download of the runtime
npx -y local-mcp@latest status    # show server status

 

Uninstall

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

Stops all background processes, removes the LaunchAgent, deletes the app and binaries, and cleans up MCP config entries from every configured AI client. Your emails, calendar, and other data are never stored by LMCP and remain completely untouched.
