configure_clients
Diagnostics & system · macOS · Windows
Effect: write (strongest supported action). Status: gated.
Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.
macOS
Purpose
Adds Local MCP to the config of the MCP-capable AI apps installed on this Mac, from LMCP's client catalog (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed, Codex / ChatGPT desktop, Jan, LM Studio, Warp, Antigravity, Cline, Roo and more) — no manual JSON editing. Read-only PREVIEW unless confirm:true. Optionally pass a single `client` id. Reports per client whether it was set up, was already set up, can't be set up automatically (and why), or isn't installed, plus the step the user must take for the change to apply (restart the app, or open a new session). Pair with list_missing_permissions for fully agent-driven setup.
Required inputs
No required inputs are declared in this platform's schema. Optional selectors and runtime requirements may still apply.
Permissions and confirmation
Explicit confirmation parameter: inspect the schema and tool description before any real call. The documentation example keeps confirm false. Obtain user authorization before performing the action.
- Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.

Purpose
Adds Local MCP to the config of installed MCP-capable AI clients on this machine (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code) so they can use LMCP's tools — no manual JSON editing. Read-only PREVIEW unless confirm:true. Optionally pass a single `client` id or name to configure just that one. Returns which clients it set up, which already had Local MCP, and the restart step.
