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) |
ChatGPT and Claude.ai are the exception: there is no config file at all. They pair with imagic over a small always-on relay using a 6-digit code shown in the app, so their setup pages skip the table above entirely.
Clients that cannot run imagic
Worth stating plainly rather than letting you find out after installing:
Perplexity
Perplexity supports local MCP servers only in the macOS app from the Mac App Store, for paid subscribers, and only after installing its PerplexityXPC…
use Claude Desktop instead →
Everything is included in the trial
