# no-sleep-pika (pika)

> Native macOS menu-bar utility for keeping MacBook work running with the lid closed, with Session / Monitor controls and local MCP tools. macOS 13+, Apple Silicon and Intel.

Session ON prepares sleep prevention before lid closure. In closed-lid mode, display policy applies after the lid closes. A working administrator helper is required. Battery / thermal protection may end a session. pika does not guarantee network connectivity or resume failed AI jobs.

The bundled pika-mcp is a local STDIO server, not a public HTTP service. It exposes pika_status, pika_set_session and pika_set_monitor. It controls pika, not AI conversations. The website is not an MCP endpoint. pika is independent of OpenAI and Anthropic.

Markdown pages below are generated from the same HTML as the public website. Their Source field points to the human-readable canonical page. Publication makes content available for retrieval; it does not guarantee indexing, training, citation, or recommendation by any AI provider.
