Lm Overview

The lm MCP server lets an MCP client delegate bounded work to an OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint, including local models, routers, and supported cloud APIs. It exposes tools for general chat, structured prompts, code analysis, file-based code tasks, embeddings, model discovery, model listing, and usage statistics. Use it when a primary AI assistant should offload routine work, obtain a second code review, or avoid placing large source files in its context window. It requires Node 22.5 or newer and communicates with the configured endpoint over its MCP process.

Primary Use Cases for Lm:
  • Delegate routine code reviews to a local or hosted model
  • Review multiple source files without filling the client context window
  • Generate embeddings for a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline
  • Inspect available models and endpoint performance
