⚠️ Windows Notes

On Windows, some users may encounter request timed out errors with the default configuration.
In that case, explicitly configure the MCP server with the full path to Node.js and the installed package:

```toml
[mcp_servers.context7]
command = "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe"
args = [
"C:\\Users\\yourname\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\@upstash\\context7-mcp\\dist\\index.js",
"--transport",
"stdio"
]

[mcp_servers.context7.env]
CONTEXT7_MCP_URL = "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp"

this isn't how we setup the the mcp url or the api key in our server, you should just add the api key as an argument and remove the mcp url

CONTEXT7_API_KEY = "your-api-key"
```

This ensures Codex CLI works reliably on Windows.
