Zed

Prerequisites

• Zed installed with the Agent panel enabled.
• Node >=20 on your PATH.

Install

Zed reads MCP servers from its context_servers setting in ~/.config/zed/settings.json:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "jeffs-brain": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@jeffs-brain/memory-mcp"],
        "env": {
          "JB_TOKEN": "optional-hosted-token"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Reload Zed. The Agent panel should list jeffs-brain under context servers.

Smoke test

Open the Agent panel and ask:

Remember: I deploy with Cloudflare Pages.

Then later:

How do I deploy?

Both turns should invoke the MCP tools.

Troubleshooting

• Nothing shows in the Agent panel — confirm context_servers is valid JSON and reopen Zed.
• npx not found — install Node >=20 or use an absolute path.
• Logs live at ~/Library/Logs/Zed/Zed.log on macOS and equivalent locations on other platforms.
