Point Cursor, Claude Desktop, or other MCP apps at your local AIOS server.

- Permission to run the local connector process
- A restart of the client after you add or remove plugins
Cursor

- In Cursor, open MCP settings and add the server entry.
- Restart Cursor and confirm AIOS tools appear in the tool list.
Claude Desktop
- Open Claude Desktop settings for MCP or connectors.
- Add the AIOS server using the values from the desktop app.
- Restart Claude Desktop.
