lmcp_install_upgrade
Diagnostics & system · macOS · Windows
Effect: write (strongest supported action). Status: gated.
Reviewed effect evidence: Canonical check_only/confirm descriptions distinguish inspection from downloading and installing or staging the update; strongest effect remains write.
Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.
macOS
Purpose
Checks for and installs a newer LMCP version — a self-upgrade of the LMCP app itself (not editing any of your data). Installing downloads the new version and RESTARTS LMCP (the AI client briefly reconnects), so it requires confirm=true. Pass check_only=true to only report whether a newer version is available, with no download or restart.
Required inputs
No required inputs are declared in this platform's schema. Optional selectors and runtime requirements may still apply.
Permissions and confirmation
Explicit confirmation parameter: inspect the schema and tool description before any real call. The documentation example keeps confirm false. Obtain user authorization before performing the action.
- Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.

Purpose
Checks for and installs a newer LMCP version — a self-upgrade of the LMCP app itself (not editing any of your data). Installing downloads the new version, verifies its sha256, and stages it to apply on the NEXT restart of LMCP (this server does not restart itself mid-session), so it requires confirm=true. Pass check_only=true to only report whether a newer version is available, with no download or staging.
