Compatibility Matrix¶

This matrix covers the local stdio setup shape for the clients yt-text currently documents.

Client	Project-scope config	User/global config	Config key	Recommended verification
Claude Code	.mcp.json	~/.claude.json	mcpServers	claude mcp list or /mcp
Cursor	.cursor/mcp.json	~/.cursor/mcp.json	mcpServers	cursor-agent mcp list
VS Code	.vscode/mcp.json	user-profile mcp.json	servers	MCP: List Servers
Windsurf	not documented as project-scoped in current docs	~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json	mcpServers	MCPs panel or Cascade settings
OpenCode	opencode.json	~/.config/opencode/opencode.json	mcp	confirm yt-text appears as a tool
Junie	.junie/mcp/mcp.json	~/.junie/mcp/mcp.json	mcpServers	/mcp

Notes¶

• Claude Code has three scopes: local, project, and user. Both local and user are stored in ~/.claude.json, while shared project config lives in .mcp.json.
• Cursor uses the same MCP configuration for the editor and cursor-agent.
• VS Code uses servers instead of mcpServers, which is the main schema difference to watch for.
• Windsurf's current docs emphasize the MCP Marketplace UI and the ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json file.
• OpenCode uses a different shape entirely: mcp entries are objects with fields like type, command, and enabled.
• Junie CLI and the JetBrains IDE plugin share the same mcp.json structure.
