Zed Easy Labs MCP Server explain_application_step

How to: Zed Easy Labs MCP Server explain_application_step

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:explain_application_step

Add Easy Labs MCP Server to Zed

  1. 01

    Open ~/.config/zed/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "context_servers": {
    "easy-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.itseasy.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

    Ask for something explain_application_step does. Zed lists the server's tools on connect and calls explain_application_step itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Easy Labs MCP Server's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Merge this into your existing settings object — do not replace the file. Zed docs

Set these first

Easy Labs MCP Server will not start until these are set, so explain_application_step never becomes available.

  • EASY_API_KEY
  • EASY_ENVIRONMENT

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
