LM Studio

One-click install.

LM Studio supports MCP install links. Signed in, the button below carries your API key: click it, confirm in LM Studio, done.

Step 01

Click to install.

LM Studio needs your API key in the link. Sign in and the LM Studio card on your dashboard has an Add to LM Studio button with it filled in.

LM Studio mcp.json

Click the 'Add to LM Studio' button on bankbridge.money
- or paste this into LM Studio's mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bankbridge": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://bankbridge.money/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer bbk_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 02

Verify it works.

In LM Studio’s chat with an agentic model loaded (Qwen 2.5 / Llama 3.3 / etc.), ask:

try this

how much did I spend this week?

LM Studio’s MCP sidebar shows bankbridge with 12 tools + 19 prompts.

Troubleshooting

Client connects but shows 0 tools.

Usually the client is caching an old config, or you're on a mode that doesn't expose tools (Ask/Edit vs Agent, for example).

Fix: Fully quit + relaunch the host app. In VS Code Copilot, switch to Agent mode.

401 Unauthorized on every call.

The API key is missing, typo'd, or got revoked. Check the Authorization header starts with `Bearer ` (note the space) and ends in a key you still own.

Fix: Paste a fresh key from Settings.
