How to: Zed ForumDataAPI — Community Posts, Thread Search & Comments MCP Server reddit_post_comments

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:reddit_post_comments

Add ForumDataAPI — Community Posts, Thread Search & Comments MCP Server to Zed

  1. 01

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

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

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that ForumDataAPI — Community Posts, Thread Search & Comments 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

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 7 November 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.
