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.
For device-management applications, use Light-Dashboard.
- 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. You may optionally initialize the MCP authentication token on the first start:
mako -token your-mcp-bearer-tokenSee the command-line token instructions.
-
Open http://localhost/lsp-claw/. If you set an MCP token, use it to sign in. 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.
The Mako Server Developer Edition is the easiest way to get started because it includes LSP-Claw and the required Mako resources in one ready-to-run package. This avoids manually installing and configuring the application.
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.
Build a device management interface:
Use LSP-Claw to build a device management interface using
Light-Dashboard/custom. Check the runtime and lab, then ask what device, pages,
live data, commands, and visual style I need. Build and test the interface and
give me its URL.
Continue with the complete LSP-Claw installation and usage guide for AI-agent configuration, additional prompts, alternative installations, lab management, backups, transfers, and tutorials.
