Give Warp's AI direct access to your Mac apps — Mail, Calendar, Contacts, iMessage, Teams, Slack and 233 tools through one local MCP server. Everything runs on your Mac; no API keys, no OAuth.

LMCP··5 min readWhat this lets you do
Warp supports MCP servers, so its AI can reach beyond the terminal and act on your real apps through LMCP — without leaving your keyboard:
- “Summarize my unread emails while this build runs”
- “What did the team post in the engineering Teams channel today?”
- “Add a reminder to review the deploy checklist at 5pm”
Setup
- Download LMCP and open it (menu bar). It runs the MCP server locally.
- In Warp, open Settings → AI → Manage MCP servers and add a new server with the command
npx local-mcp. (The npx client is a thin proxy that connects to the LMCP app on your Mac.) - Start the server from Warp’s MCP list, then ask Warp AI about your Mail, Calendar or Teams. macOS prompts for each permission the first time it’s needed.
Privacy
Warp talks to LMCP over a local socket on your Mac. Your data is read on-device and never uploaded; anything the AI wants to send is preview-and-confirm.
