Context7 MCP and AI Coding assist

The problem with this solution, which should work in theory is that there is no code on the repo.

GitMCP.io wraps any public GitHub content in an MCP server. It empowers AI assistants to intelligently retrieve and search your codebase, giving you more accurate, context-rich coding help with zero setup.

✅ Step 1: Add GitMCP to your MCP Servers

Edit your windsurf.config.json and add the following under mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitmcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://gitmcp.io/sse"
    }
  }
}

This enables GitMCP as a valid MCP server for Windsurf or any code editor that supports MCP

✅ Step 2: Use a Repo in a Conversation

Now, anytime you want Windsurf to bring in a GitHub repo’s documentation or code, you can invoke the GitMCP URL format, for example:

• For GitHub repo:
  https://gitmcp.io/interactivetools-com/ZenDB
• For GitHub Pages site:
  Replace .github.io with .gitmcp.io
  e.g. https://interactivetools.gitmcp.io/ZenDB

You can either:

• Paste this URL into the chat or MCP assistant panel, or
• Ask Windsurf directly:
  “Use https://gitmcp.io/interactivetools-com/ZenDB as the MCP context.”

Windsurf will then treat the GitHub repo as an accessible, live context.

OR

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ZenDB Docs": {
      "serverUrl": "https://gitmcp.io/interactivetools-com/ZenDB"
    }
  }
}

In the ai-exporter.php, is it possible to add a new line "\n" so the JSON component isn't seen as one big line of text, hard to read by humans, and the IDE doesn't like it either, although AI has no trouble.

Hi Jeff, 

Sure, search for "json_encode" in the plugin and try replacing this line: 

$output .= json_encode($data, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR) . "\n\n";

With this line:

$output .= json_encode($data, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR | JSON_PRETTY_PRINT) . "\n\n";

Let me know if that works for you. Thanks!

Thanks Dave, 

That is much better.

I paste the contents into an .MD file and reference the file in the prompt, that way I don't need to recreate it unless there is a DB change
