This quick start is for running LSP-Claw with the Mako Server Developer Edition. See the detailed instructions for other setups, including using Xedge standalone, configuration options, lab management, backups, transfers, and tutorials.
- An AI agent with MCP support, such as Codex, installed on your computer.
- The Mako Server Developer Edition. Running Mako as a service is preferred. The download page includes a prompt you can give your AI agent to guide you through downloading, installing, and running it as a service.
-
Install and start Mako using the Developer Edition instructions.
-
Open http://localhost/lsp-claw/. If you plan to access the LSP-Examples repository through LSP-Claw, enter a GitHub token and click Save tokens.
-
Add an MCP server named
lsp_clawto your AI agent using this URL:http://localhost/lsp-claw/mcp.lsp -
Restart the agent or open a new session so it discovers LSP-Claw. See Configure Your AI Agent if you need agent-specific configuration details.
Prime the agent before asking it to build anything:
Use LSP-Claw for this session. Check the runtime and lab status, list the
available labs, and tell me what you found. Do not change anything yet. Work
only through LSP-Claw; if its tools are unavailable, stop and tell me.
Find an example to start from:
Use LSP-Claw to show me three beginner-friendly examples from LSP-Examples.
Briefly explain each one and wait for me to choose before copying anything.
Or create and test a small application:
Use LSP-Claw to create a new lab named hello-lsp. Create a simple index.lsp
page that displays "Hello from LSP-Claw" and the current server time. Start
the lab, test the page, and give me its URL.
