+### LM Studio
+
+[LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai) is a cross-platform desktop app for discovering, downloading, and running open-source LLMs locally. You can now connect local models to tools via Model Context Protocol (MCP).
+
+**Key features:**
+
+- Use MCP servers with local models on your computer. Add entries to `mcp.json` and save to get started.
+- Tool confirmation UI: when a model calls a tool, you can confirm the call in the LM Studio app.
+- Cross-platform: runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, one-click installer with no need to fiddle in the command line
+- Supports GGUF (llama.cpp) or MLX models with GPU acceleration
+- GUI & terminal mode: use the LM Studio app or CLI (lms) for scripting and automation
