AI Meeting Prep on Mac: Calendar, Email and Teams in One Brief
One prompt before each meeting: who is attending, what you last discussed by email and Teams, where things stand, and suggested talking points. Free, local, no Graph API or admin approval.
An AI assistant can prepare you for every meeting by reading your calendar, email and Teams together — install LMCP (free) and Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can look up your next event, find the recent messages with those exact people across Mail and Microsoft Teams, and hand you a one-page brief: context, open items, and talking points. Everything is read locally on your Mac — no Graph API, no tokens, no IT approval.
Why this beats reading three apps
The information you need before a meeting is scattered: the invite is in Calendar, the latest back-and-forth is in Mail, and the real state of things is in a Teams thread from Tuesday. An assistant with access to all three doesn’t summarize an app — it summarizes the relationship: what you promised, what they are waiting on, what changed since you last spoke.
What you need
- macOS 12+ with Calendar and Mail.app configured; Teams desktop app if your team uses it
- An AI assistant — Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client
- LMCP installed — free, download, auto-configures your clients
The prep prompt
Useful variations:
Works with your real work stack
LMCP reads Microsoft Teams from the local desktop cache — no Graph API, no bot registration, no admin consent — plus Calendar, Mail, Slack, Zoom recordings and transcripts, and Microsoft 365/Outlook if you use them. The prep brief gets richer with each source, and it all stays on your machine.
