## VS Code (Copilot)

Run this command in your terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"memv","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.memv.ai/mcp"}'
```

Or add it manually to `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace:

```json theme={null}
{
  "servers": {
    "memv": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.memv.ai/mcp"
    }
  }

## Windsurf

Add the following to `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memv": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.memv.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Windsurf to load the new configuration. You'll be prompted to sign in via OAuth on first use.

## Verify the Connection

After setup, ask your AI assistant:

```
List my mem[v] workspaces.
```

You should see your workspaces returned, confirming the connection is working.
