1. Open your Windsurf settings

   Navigate to the MCP configuration section.

2. Add this snippet to your configuration file

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "context7": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp@latest"]
       }
     }
   }

   If you already have other MCP servers configured, only add this part inside mcpServers:

     "context7": {
       "command": "npx",
       "args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp@latest"]
     }

   Example with another server:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "context7": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp@latest"]
       },
       "dummy-server": {
         "command": "dummy",
         "args": ["--mcp"]
       }
     }
   }

3. Save the file and restart Windsurf

   Windsurf will load the new MCP configuration on start.
