Key Differentiators

  • Privacy-first approach: All data remains on your Mac with zero cloud processing
  • Zero configuration required: Install and restart Claude Desktop
  • Teams integration reads from local IndexedDB, eliminating OAuth and Microsoft API requirements
  • Includes 38 MCP tools with safety previews (emails show preview before sending, requiring user confirmation)

Installation

Install via npm:

npm install -g local-mcp

Or add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

{"mcpServers":{"local-mcp":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","local-mcp@latest"]}}}
