# Local MCP

> Expose decrypted Vued meeting search to coding agents through the desktop local API.

The Python package installs a local MCP stdio shim:

```bash theme={null}
vued mcp
```

Development:

```bash theme={null}
cd vued-python-sdk
uv run vued mcp
```

The shim forwards MCP JSON-RPC to the unlocked desktop app and exposes local plaintext tools.
