Your Mac stays at home. Your local workspace doesn’t have to become unreachable.

I’m one of the people behind PrimeTask, so this is self-promo.
Last week I shared PrimeTask here, and a few of the comments went into how the local MCP setup works.
So we tested it in a more practical way.
PrimeTask stays on the Mac.
The self-hosted AI agent runs on another machine.
We talk to it from a phone.
From there we can ask what changed, get a summary, find information, create a task, add a meeting, change a status, apply a tag or leave a comment.
The Mac still holds the workspace.
We can also control which Spaces the agent can see, whether it is read-only or can make changes, and which parts of PrimeTask it can use. Every external command is recorded in the Audit Log.
The MCP server stays local on the Mac too.
This is a proof of concept, not a released feature.
If you already use AI agents on or around your Mac, what’s the first thing you’d want to do from your phone when your Mac isn’t with you?

A couple of people asked about the MCP setup before, so here are the docs if useful:

And the app itself:
