  • Project: .cursor/mcp.json

• Install MCP for Claude Code (official doc):

  • Global: claude mcp add .... (check the MCP document), then a new MCP server will be added to ~/.claude.json (global).

  • Project:

    # Add a project-scoped server
    claude mcp add shared-server --scope project /path/to/server
    

    Or create .mcp.json in the project root (cannot be put in .claude/ — shamed!!!).

Using Local Models with IDEs

• Download LM Studio and download the coder models. Alternatively, you can use Ollama.
• In your IDE (VSCode or Cursor), install the Continue extension.
• In LM Studio, navigate to the Developer tab, select your downloaded model → Settings → enable "Serve on Local Network" → enable the server.
• In your IDE, select the "Continue" tab on the left sidebar → Choose "Or, configure your own model" → "Click here to view more providers" (or select the Ollama icon tab if you're using Ollama) → in the provider list, select LM Studio → Set Model to "Autodetect" → Connect → a config file will open at ~/.continue/config.yaml, keep the default settings and save.
• That's it!
• As another option, you can use Granite.code (from IBM)

Cursor IDE

• Note: VSCode.
• Official docs.
