Add LM Studio MCP client support; document rejected clients#207
Merged
Conversation
Implement InstallMCPServer support for LM Studio: a $supportedMCPClients entry targeting ~/.lmstudio/mcp.json (standard mcpServers JSON / Cursor notation, no converter, no project scope, default toolset "Wolfram" as a chat-first client), plus .lmstudio/mcp.json path detection in guessClientName. Adds tests (count bumped 19 -> 20), docs rows in mcp-clients.md and README.md, and the AgentSkills source reference (generated skill copies regenerated via BuildAgentSkills.wls). Also document four clients researched and rejected for InstallMCPServer because they have no external config file to write to (Dify, RecurseChat, Msty, 5ire), with research notes and a "Rejected / Not Feasible" section in TODO/more-mcp-clients.md.

Pull request overview
This pull request extends AgentTools’ InstallMCPServer client registry to support LM Studio (a chat-first MCP client with Cursor-style mcp.json), and adds documentation/research notes for several MCP clients that were investigated but deemed not feasible for automated installation.
Changes:
- Add
"LMStudio"to$supportedMCPClients(config at~/.lmstudio/mcp.json) and enable path-based auto-detection inguessClientName. - Add a dedicated LM Studio test section to validate install/uninstall behavior, metadata, and detection (and bump supported-client count to 20).
- Update user-facing docs/README and regenerate AgentSkills reference copies; add research notes including a “Rejected / Not Feasible” section for UI-only/internal-storage clients.
