Anyone have an example mcpServers JSON config to setup Intellij AI to Lenses MCP Server?

I use this against my Lenses Community Edition. I followed the server installation process in [GitHub - lensesio/lenses-mcp: MCP server for Lenses](https://github.com/lensesio/lenses-mcp)

….and then use this in Intellij:

```auto
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lenses": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--project",
        "/Users/me/lensesMCP/lenses-mcp/",
        "--with",
        "fastmcp",
        "fastmcp",
        "run",
        "/Users/me/lensesMCP/lenses-mcp/src/lenses_mcp/server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LENSES_API_KEY": "sa_key_orujjigsMWrrgXUC_DfEvKpVvHzfYq9PCEWTcPt4CkHuNuyJl"
      }
    }
  }
}

```
