How to: Zed Dataville list_dataville_sources

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:list_dataville_sources

Add Dataville to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "dataville-mcp": {
      "url": "https://api.dataville.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

Dataville will not start until these are set, so list_dataville_sources never becomes available.

  • DATAVILLE_API_KEY
  • DATAVILLE_API_BASE_URL

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 8 October 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.
