# Which AI assistants work with Storage Studio's AI access?

Any assistant that supports MCP (the Model Context Protocol) and runs on the same Mac can use it. The Connections pane includes a ready-made snippet for **Claude Desktop**; other MCP-compatible tools can use the direct local connection or the standard setup, whichever they expect.

Assistants that only run in a web browser or on another device can't connect, because AI access is only reachable from your own Mac.
