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 the MCP-capable AI apps installed on this Mac, from LMCP's client catalog (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed, Codex / ChatGPT desktop, Jan, LM Studio, Warp, Antigravity, Cline, Roo and more) — no manual JSON editing. Read-only PREVIEW unless confirm:true. Optionally pass a single `client` id. Reports per client whether it was set up, was already set up, can't be set up automatically (and why), or isn't installed, plus the step the user must take for the change to apply (restart the app, or open a new session). Pair with list_missing_permissions for fully agent-driven setup.

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.

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.

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 — it never sends. Compose a new draft with `to`/`subject` and `body` or `html_body`, or save a native reply with `reply_to_message_id`, `reply_all`, and `body` or `html_body`; the response names the Drafts mailbox and subject. 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 saved WITHOUT threading headers (relay the warning to the user); "unconfirmed" means it could not be read back in time (e.g. Exchange sync lag). On a multi-account Mac, pass `account` (an account name from list_email_accounts) or `from` (a sender address) to place the draft in that account's Drafts; otherwise it lands in the default account. Attach files by passing `attachments` (comma-separated absolute file paths, e.g. a PDF quote) — they are attached to the saved draft. Use this for the cautious user who wants AI-composed mail but insists on sending it themselves. Requires confirm=true to actually save it — without it, returns a preview without touching Mail.app.

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.

Deletes a note from Apple Notes, by ID or exact title. Like deleting it in the app, the note goes to "Recently Deleted" and Apple purges it after 30 days — the user can still recover it there. Requires confirm=true. The result is VERIFIED: the tool re-reads the note after deleting and reports the deletion as unverified if it is still where it was, so a success here means the note is really gone from list_notes/search_notes/read_note. Find note_id with list_notes or search_notes.

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.

Disconnect Todoist and remove the stored API token.

Creates a new Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx file) with headers and optional data rows. JSON numbers (integers and decimals) are written as numbers, so SUM() and charts work on them; JSON strings always stay text even when they look numeric ("007", "1e3", or " 42"), as do integer values longer than 10 digits because they are identifiers like a CUIT, CBU or phone number rather than quantities.

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. Numeric-looking value strings are written as numbers only when they round-trip exactly; otherwise they stay text. 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). Reads anywhere on this Mac — home, external disks, cloud drives, /tmp — with one exception: credential and identity locations (keychains, ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, browser logins, another user's home, Time Machine backups) are never read. Supports .txt, .md, .csv, .json, .xml, .log, .yaml, .toml and common code file types; auto-detects UTF-8 with Latin-1/Windows-1252 fallback. For files in OneDrive use onedrive_read_file, in Google Drive gdrive_read_file; for PDFs pdf_read, Word word_read, Excel excel_read.

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.) Writes anywhere on this Mac, with two exceptions: files your machine runs by itself (shell startup files, LaunchAgents, git hooks, AI-client configs) and credential locations are never written. Overwriting an existing file requires confirm=true (the first call returns a preview instead); append=true adds to the end and never needs confirm. Missing parent folders are created.

Lists files and folders in a directory (Spotlight-free). Lists any folder on this Mac. Credential and identity locations (keychains, ~/.ssh, browser login stores, another user's home, Time Machine backups) are refused.

Searches for files by name anywhere on this Mac (uses mdfind/Spotlight); pass path= to scope it to one folder. Credential and identity locations are refused.

Deletes a file or an empty folder from the synced Google Drive folder — Google Drive for Desktop syncs the deletion to the cloud (the item lands in Drive's trash). Deleting a .gdoc/.gsheet/.gslides pointer removes the real Google Doc/Sheet/Slides. Never deletes a folder that still has contents. First call returns a preview of what was actually found at that path; pass confirm=true to delete.

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.

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).

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.

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. Every answer carries as_of (when the list snapshot was read) and cache_age_seconds; if cache_age_seconds is above 0 the snapshot is that many seconds old and a list created since then may be missing — call again to force a re-read. For Microsoft To Do use todo_get_folders instead.

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, server_name and type. type is whatever Mail reports — imap | pop | iCloud | smtp | unknown — and Mail's scripting dictionary has NO Exchange value, so Exchange (EWS) accounts always come back as unknown, flagged with type_undetermined: true and a type_note; for those read the mailbox through the m365_* tools (or outlook_diagnose) instead of routing by type. 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).

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.

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.

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.

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. Pass account=<name> (from list_email_accounts) to enumerate one account fully; without it, every account is walked which can be slow on macOS 15+. Message counts are off by default (slow on IMAP) — pass include_counts=true to add unread/total per folder.
