On-Device Storage
Notes, tasks, prompts, and SKILL.md files stay strictly on-device until explicitly exposed.
Zero-Config Discovery.
AxisMCP broadcasts via Bonjour _axismcp._tcp on your local network. Provide your Mac client with the exact hostname and your rotating Bearer token to establish an encrypted session.

Manage your MCP context natively on-device. Control exactly what gets exposed over the network.
Library
Write or import context for your agents: notes, tasks, prompts, and SKILL.md files.
Connect
Copy the endpoint address, reveal the password during client configuration, and rotate it on demand.
Chat
Use optional local Apple Intelligence inference on supported hardware. Zero developer backend telemetry.
Technical FAQ
Why use an iPhone or iPad for this?
It provides a context source that lives beside your Mac, securely on your own hardware, bypassing hosted cloud accounts.
Does AxisMCP collect my data?
No. AxisMCP has no developer backend, no account system, and no analytics SDK. Trusted clients only receive the data you explicitly expose.
Can AxisMCP connect over the internet?
AxisMCP is designed for local network use. Tailscale or VPN paths work when intentionally configured, but we provide no public relays.
Which Mac clients work?
Start with Streamable HTTP for clients that support it, then reference the setup guide for client-specific configuration snippets.
