# LM Studio MCP setup

> Configure Sendmux MCP in LM Studio.

Use this page to connect Sendmux MCP to your AI client.

## Private HTTP

Start a local HTTP MCP server:

```bash theme={null}
SENDMUX_API_KEY=smx_mbx_... \
SENDMUX_MCP_HTTP_BEARER_TOKEN=local-mcp-token \
sendmux-mcp-mailbox --transport http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765
```

Use `http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp` as the client URL.

LM Studio follows Cursor's `mcp.json` notation. Open **Program** > **Install** > **Edit mcp.json** and add:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sendmux-local": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer local-mcp-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
