lmstudio-api

lmstudio-api is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Desko77/cursor-1c-skills. It costs 199 tokens per session (4,613 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of lmstudio-api, MIT.

A reference for controlling LM Studio through its HTTP API. LM Studio is a local server for running AI models, and the guide covers checking, loading, unloading, and configuring models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Inspect available models, load or unload them, set context and processing options, and send requests to LM Studio.
Why use it?
It helps software use locally hosted models and makes model-server operations predictable during development and troubleshooting.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

lmstudio-api scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

LM Studio API

Проверено вживую на LM Studio 0.4.x, 2026-08-07, локальный сервер на порту 1234 (AMD Strix Halo, 128 ГБ единой памяти). Замеры в конце - на qwen3-vl-30b-a3b-instruct.

Три поверхности API

Поверхность Путь Назначение
OpenAI-совместимая /v1/* инференс: chat/completions; models отдает только КАТАЛОГ скачанных
Нативная v0 (устаревшая) /api/v0/* models с полем state; управления моделями нет
Нативная v1 /api/v1/* с LM Studio 0.4.0, рекомендуемая: инференс + управление моделями

Anthropic-совместимые эндпоинты тоже заявлены в доках, не проверялись.

Эндпоинты v1

POST /api/v1/chat (НЕ /api/v1/chat/completions)
GET /api/v1/models
POST /api/v1/models/load
POST /api/v1/models/unload
POST /api/v1/models/download
GET /api/v1/models/download/status

load: обязателен model - точный ключ модели. Опционально context_length, eval_batch_size, flash_attention, num_experts, offload_kv_cache_to_gpu, echo_load_config. Всегда ставить echo_load_config: true - ответ вернет фактически примененный конфиг, и сразу видно, что сервер проигнорировал.

Ответ: {"type", "instance_id", "load_time_seconds", "status": "loaded", "load_config": {...}}. Вызов БЛОКИРУЮЩИЙ - возвращается по факту загрузки, отдельно опрашивать готовность не нужно.

unload: обязателен instance_id, НЕ имя модели. Берется из loaded_instances[].id ответа GET /api/v1/models.

GET /api/v1/models отдает {"models":[...]} с полями key, type, publisher, architecture, quantization, size_bytes, max_context_length, capabilities, loaded_instances[]. У инстанса - id и config с фактическими context_length, parallel, flash_attention, eval_batch_size, num_experts и прочим. Пустой loaded_instances = модель не загружена.

Инференс: два эндпоинта, и они НЕ равнозначны

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
