Zed EventTrader MCP who_is_this

How to: Zed EventTrader MCP who_is_this

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:who_is_this

Add EventTrader MCP to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "event-trader-mcp": {
      "url": "https://cymetica.com/mcp/v1"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that EventTrader MCP'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

EventTrader MCP will not start until these are set, so who_is_this never becomes available.

  • EVENT_TRADER_API_KEY
  • EVENT_TRADER_API_URL

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.
