Use this guide when auto-config does not complete successfully, or when you want to wire Context Sync into an MCP client manually.
- Restart the client after changing MCP config.
- Global install is the default path for auto-config.
- Local installs do not auto-configure clients.
- You can either point directly at the installed server entrypoint or use
npx.
