How to: Zed OpenFile OpenFile with VS Code

client:Zed transport:streamable-http resource:OpenFile with VS Code

Add OpenFile to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "openfile": {
      "url": "https://mcp.joinopenfile.com"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

    OpenFile with VS Code is surfaced wherever your client lets you attach context. It is context to attach, not an action to run.

  3. 04

    If it does not appear, check that OpenFile is connected and that you are looking at its resources rather than its tools.

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

Same resource, other clients

Read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling resources/list on 11 November 2026. A listing does not declare its resources, so asking is the only way to know them, and this is what the server actually offers rather than what its listing claims. Names only are stored; connect the server for each resource's type and contents.
