Zed MCP Host
Use MCP tools and prompts inside Zed's Agent Panel, with local or remote servers and configurable tool approval.
About this listing
Zed is a code editor that can act as an MCP host for its Agent Panel. Its MCP integration supports tools and prompts, allowing a coding session to work with capabilities supplied by external context servers.
Servers can be installed through extensions or configured as custom local commands and remote connections. Zed reloads the available tool list when a server announces changes, and its native agent offers confirm, allow and deny modes for tool actions. Developers can also restrict individual MCP tools through permission settings.
The Personal editor plan is free, with paid plans available for hosted AI features and team controls. Using your own model API keys or external agents does not make those providers' services free; model usage, remote servers and other infrastructure may carry separate charges. This listing covers Zed's MCP host integration, not an individual MCP server.
