Connect Zed to MCP Chats

Setup

1. 1

   Get your address and an access token

   In your workspace, open Agents and create an access token. The page shows your exact MCP address and fills it, and the token, into these settings for you. Tokens are shown once, so keep yours somewhere safe.

2. 2

   Add this to your Zed settings.json.

   SettingsCopy

   {
     "context_servers": {
       "process-flow": {
         "url": "https://<your-mcp-endpoint>/mcp",
         "headers": {
           "Authorization": "Bearer <access-token>"
         }
       }
     }
   }

3. 3

   Check it's connected

   Ask Zed: “What processes can you see?” It should list the published processes in your workspace. If it can't reach the server, check the address and that the token hasn't been revoked.

Keep the header: without it Zed tries a sign-in Process Flow doesn’t offer.

This setup is written from Zed's own MCP documentation.
