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

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!

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"
    }
  }
}

Yes, we keep very current on the latest AI tools and have been using them for years.  They can multiply what we can do by 2x-10x or more, depending on the task.

Everyone in the office has their favourites, but mine are: 

• Claude Code CLI: Max plan currently seems to allow nearly unlimited Opus 4 usage.  I run this on Windows under the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
• ChatGPT: o4-mini-high is my favourite for coding, even beating out o1-pro or being nearly good as o3-pro (which is very slow)
• GitHub Co-Pilot: For AI-assisted autocomplete in PhpStorm, which is my IDE

Sometimes I include a line like this in my default instructions (you also sometimes need to tell it to go read the docs, pasting them in also works): 

For database queries, use ZenDB library (https://github.com/interactivetools-com/ZenDB) which is already initialized

But we'll probably come up with some better AI docs for ZenDB and CMSB in general at some point.  I'm also exploring have CMSB support being an MCP server for direct interactions.

I also attached a very early, very draft, "AI Schema Exporter" plugin I made which exports some instructions and all the schemas as JSON so you can copy and paste it into ChatGPT and have ChatGPT know what all your tables and columns are for when it suggests MySQL queries.

If anyone has any questions about AI or wants to share anything, feel free.  It's a great utility for everything we all do (coding, design, etc, etc).

Has anyone else been experimenting with this.

Currenty claude is using an older version of the zendb docs and is generating incorrect code. Context7 is design to prevent this.

Does Interactivetools, use any AI assistance?
