How it works

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code / Zed
        │  MCP protocol (stdio)
   Pilot MCP  ←  local-mcp npm package
        │  JXA · AppleScript · EventKit · native macOS APIs
   Mail · Calendar · Contacts · Teams · OneDrive · OmniFocus · …

The server starts on demand — no background daemon, no LaunchAgent. Each AI client spawns its own process when it needs it.

Why native?

Most MCP servers call cloud APIs. Pilot MCP talks directly to macOS frameworks — EventKit for Calendar, AppleScript for Mail, native SQLite for Contacts. This means:

No API keys or OAuth — works out of the box
No rate limits — it's your own machine
Works offline — no internet required for local apps
Sub-second — no network round-trips

Microsoft Teams without tokens

Teams reads messages directly from the local IndexedDB LevelDB cache. No OAuth. No Graph API. No Microsoft account tokens. Works even when Teams is offline.

Cloud Relay (optional)

Claude.ai and ChatGPT can't reach localhost. Enable Cloud Relay in the menu bar app — a secure WebSocket tunnel routes cloud requests to your local server. Your data is encrypted in transit and never stored on our servers.

Privacy

Your email, calendar, contacts, files, and messages never leave your Mac
No telemetry beyond anonymous heartbeats (version + OS + uptime, no content)
The only outbound request to our servers is license validation
GDPR and CCPA compliant by architecture — not just by policy
