You can ask questions like "Did any applications access my webcam while my PC was idle, and if so which ones?" Glad to answer any questions!

Interesting how are you handling permissions and guardrails for exposing system-level data through MCP?
suprnurd•2h ago
The server can't modify anything on your PC. It's read-only and local.

The MCP queries AppControl's local database and passes the results to your AI client and you must give consent for every tool type. Check the source also to confirm.

It's possible to use Ollama or something if you wanted to run this 100% local.

don't think I need the MCP, but definitely downloaded the app itself. Seems great.

Thanks! We just released an update a few days ago with some new languages (Chinese/Turkish), and we now show idle time on the graph.
