TextZero

What it does

TextZero is a locally-hosted AI chat application that integrates with Beeper (a unified messaging platform) via MCP. It gives you an AI assistant that can read, understand, and help you act on your messages — emails, chats, and notifications — all in one place. The tagline "get to the bottom of your messages" captures it well: it's built to help you reach inbox zero.

Powered by OpenAI and the Beeper MCP integration, TextZero lets you converse naturally about your messages. Ask it to summarise unread threads, draft replies, or flag what's urgent.

Tools

• Beeper MCP integration — reads and acts on messages from Beeper's unified inbox via the BEEPER_MCP_TOKEN tool connection
• AI chat interface — full Next.js chat UI backed by OpenAI for natural language message management
• Document handling — supports file uploads and document-based queries via local filesystem storage
• SQLite persistence — conversation and message history stored locally, no cloud dependency

Installation

TextZero runs as a local Next.js app — it's not a drop-in MCP server config, but rather a standalone application that bundles MCP tooling internally.
