Three keys, and why setup fails
Most guides assume every client uses the same JSON. They do not, and copying the wrong key fails silently rather than erroring.
| Key | Used by |
|---|---|
mcpServers | Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Warp, LM Studio, Amazon Q, JetBrains, Continue |
servers | VS Code and GitHub Copilot |
context_servers | Zed |
extensions | Goose (YAML, and the field is cmd not command) |
mcp_servers | Codex CLI (TOML) |
