# Run local tool-calling agent inference with Rapid-MLX
Serve OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible local LLM endpoints on Apple Silicon so coding agents can run tool-calling workflows against on-device models.
## Prerequisites
Apple Silicon Mac, Rapid-MLX, MLX-compatible model, OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible agent client such as Codex CLI, Claude Code, Aider, Cursor, or Continue.dev
## Installation
Install or set up from the source-backed instructions:
Install Rapid-MLX using the documented installer or package path, start the server with rapid-mlx serve, confirm the OpenAI-compatible endpoint at localhost:8000/v1, then configure the target agent client to use that local base URL and model alias.
