Quick setup

Most MCP servers follow the same config pattern. Add this to your Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postgres": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres", "postgresql://localhost/mydb"]
    }
  }
}

See the integrations page for platform-specific setup guides for Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Cline.
