How do I install the local mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `FO_PROVIDER` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Local MCP Server?

AI-powered local file management with state-of-the-art models

The short version

This software uses AI to organize your local files. It operates locally with Ollama. It does not need a cloud connection. You can also connect it to an OpenAI-compatible endpoint or Anthropic Claude.
