# Keeploop or LMCP (Local MCP)?

## Which is better, LMCP or Keeploop?

Both connect AI apps to apps on your computer. LMCP covers more apps and runs on Mac and Windows: its site lists Outlook, Teams, Telegram, Office files and many more, and it has a free plan for one computer. Keeploop fits when you want Apple's own apps on a Mac with fine-grained rules, web and phone AI apps reaching your Mac through a connection service that never stores requests or results, and one purchase instead of a subscription.
