Connect to Zed

​

Prerequisites

• Zed installed (zed.dev) — version 0.130.0 or later (MCP support added)
• A V5 bearer token — get one from POST /admin/tokens/issue

​

Setup

{
  "context_servers": {
    "ascend": {
      "settings": {
        "url": "https://ascend-gateway-v5.ascendgtm.workers.dev/mcp",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer <your-token>"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

​

Notes

• Zed uses the term “context servers” for MCP servers — same protocol, different label
• Token is stored in plaintext in settings.json — use a read-only scoped token if sharing workspaces
• For team setups, create a project-level .zed/settings.json with a shared read-only token
