com.local-mcp/local-mcp

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 by keyword, sender, or date. For a Microsoft 365 mailbox NOT added to Mail.app, use m365_search_emails. On machines with 3+ accounts, pass account=<name> (from list_email_accounts) to search a specific account and avoid timeouts.

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.

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 absolute file paths to attach files.

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 + Automation permission.

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.

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 (confirm=false or omitted) returns a preview; confirm=true returns the send-it-yourself steps. chat_id should come from a previous signal_list_chats call — never fabricate IDs.

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.

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. Reads from the local IndexedDB cache — no token needed. Only workspaces that have been synced to disk are returned.

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. Returns matching symbols and exchanges.

Submits the user's answers to the short in-product survey Local MCP just showed them. Call this ONLY when the user has actually answered the survey's questions — pass their answers as an object keyed by each question's `id` (single/scale = one value, multiple = an array of values). Do not invent answers; if the user hasn't answered, don't call this.

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 — e.g. a daily collector pulls the previous day's calls.

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 Microsoft Teams workspaces the user belongs to.

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.

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).

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.

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}}. Requires Accessibility permission.

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 error. Requires Accessibility permission.

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 ui_click. Pass app_bundle_id of a running app (e.g. com.apple.finder — see list_windows); the tree is pruned to signal-bearing nodes and bounded by max_depth (default 12) and a node budget, so very large windows return partial.

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.
