Connect LM Studio

  1. In GoRunner, open MCP in the sidebar. If an app is already connected, press Connect an AI app. Choose LM Studio; if it isn’t shown, press All 13 apps.
    The Connect an AI app panel with LM Studio chosen. The ringed key is the one to press.
  2. Press Add to LM Studio. LM Studio opens. Press Install.
  3. If it doesn’t ask you to sign in, use an API token.
  4. If LM Studio signs in, on Allow “LM Studio” to use GoRunner?, choose the workspace and what it may do, then press Allow access.

Since v2026.10.23

  1. In the product you use, open MCP, press Connect an AI app and choose LM Studio.
  2. Press Add to LM Studio. LM Studio opens. Press Install.
  3. If it doesn’t ask you to sign in, use an API token.
  4. If LM Studio signs in, choose what it may do, then press Allow access.

You should see Connected in the panel once LM Studio signs in and makes its first request. With a token, the token’s line says Connected instead.

It stays connected for up to 180 days, or until you disconnect it.

Without sign-in for AI apps, the panel shows LM Studio with a token instead: make or paste one, and copy the setting it fills in. If the product lets apps run your workflows but not build them, the address ends in /tools. LM Studio can then only call your published workflows. See Turn your workflows into tools.

Can I use an API token instead?

Yes, for an app that can’t sign in. In the panel, press Use an API token instead. Connect with an API token shows each step.

How do I disconnect LM Studio?

On the MCP page, under Connected apps, press Disconnect next to the app. Revoke a token in Settings › Workspace › API tokens.

On the product’s MCP page, press Disconnect next to the app.

It stops on its next request. Remove it in LM Studio too.

What you can ask

13 tools: it reads, drafts and runs in the workspaces you choose. It publishes only if you allow it.What it can do depends on what the product allows: building, or only your published workflows. If LM Studio lists the server’s commands, try one:

  • Build a workflow (when it may write drafts)
  • Diagnose a failed run
  • Explain a workflow

It can also call your own published workflows.

For developers

AI apps connect through MCP (Model Context Protocol). LM Studio adds the server https://api.gorunner.io/mcp/build under the name gorunner. It signs in with OAuth where it can, and otherwise uses an API token. Self-hosted: your installation’s address, ending in /mcp/build.
