What the installer does
1. System check
Verifies the host OS, checks disk space, and confirms the bundled native runtime can start.
2. Prepare sidecar
Installs the bundled Bun MCP sidecar, sqlite-vec runtime, and cloudflared helper. OCR and VLM models stay on Leapable's cloud GPUs.
3. Configure clients
Auto-detects Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Continue.dev, Zed, JetBrains IDEs, and Amazon Q. Writes MCP config for each.
4. Launch
Starts the MCP server on localhost:4100. Your AI clients instantly gain access to all 191 Leapable tools.
Bind your account so credits and cloud OCR usage sync to this machine.
What gets installed?
Local runtime
The native Leapable app, bundled Bun MCP sidecar, sqlite-vec extension, and cloudflared connector. The sidecar listens on localhost and exposes all 182 Leapable tools to your configured AI clients.
Client configuration
Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Continue.dev, Zed, JetBrains IDEs, and Amazon Q get MCP configuration entries when detected.
Data residency
Private workspace files and local indexes stay in the app-local data directory on this machine. Text and Markdown process locally; PDFs and images use transient cloud OCR only when you choose that workflow. We do not train on private workspace documents.

Frequently asked questions
Does the installer need my data?
No. The installer provisions the local runtime and configures your AI clients. Your vaults stay in the app-local data directory on your machine. Leapable never sees your local private vault data.
Does this require Docker?
No. Windows, macOS, and Linux installs use the bundled native sidecar. OCR and VLM models run only on Leapable cloud GPUs.
What about updates?
The installer never deletes your data. Re-running it updates the native app bundle and sidecar while preserving your vaults and account balance via a stable machine ID.
How do .md and .txt files work?
Text files are processed locally for free — no cloud calls, no charges. PDFs and images route to our cloud GPU pipeline (included in your subscription credits).
Which AI clients are supported?
Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code + Copilot, Windsurf, Continue.dev, Zed, JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ/PyCharm/WebStorm), and Amazon Q. Any MCP-compatible client works — we use the standard Model Context Protocol.
