Do you use LM Studio or Jan? Or even just Python and LLama.cpp? If so, you need this mcp server. You don’t need any third party vendors. All the apps are selfcontained and private to your local system. All you need do is download LM Studio or Jan.ai, download a model (I highly suggest a Qwen 3.5 Claude version), copy and paste this into your mcp.json and reload your AI. Done.

Well, you may have to debug for your particular system. This works on my system perfectly but it may not on yours. Never fear. If you don’t know how to debug, simply download Anitgravity from Google and ask the model to read this repo, find your current copy of LM Studio or Jan and get the mcp.json aligned to your system. The Antigravity model from Google will fix any issues you may have.

1. The Full mcp.json for LM Studio

Create (or edit) this file in your LM Studio configuration folder.
LM Studio will open it automatically if you go to the Program tab → Install → Edit mcp.json.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-workspace": {
      "name": "AI Workspace MCP Server ",
      "description": "Self-upgrading, self-healing AI workspace with file ops, OCR, vision, mouse/keyboard control, evolving RAG, and full self-upgrade/restore capabilities. Built for LM Studio local models.",
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "F:/AI Sandbox/ai_workspace_mcp.py"
      ],
      "env": {},
      "workingDirectory": "F:/AI Sandbox",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Important notes for this config:

• Change the paths only if your folder is somewhere else.
• The command is python (it will use whatever python is in your PATH — the Windows Python that has the mcp package installed).
• workingDirectory must match exactly where your ai_workspace_mcp.py lives.
• After saving, toggle the server ON in the Program tab (or restart LM Studio).
