Zed PickShade color tools Prompt/accessible_theme

How to: Zed PickShade color tools accessible_theme

client:Zed transport:streamable-http prompt:accessible_theme

Add PickShade color tools to Zed

  1. 01

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

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

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

    accessible_theme is surfaced in the client's prompt or command menu. Unlike a tool, you invoke it deliberately — Zed will not call it for you.

  3. 04

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

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

Same prompt, other clients

Read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling prompts/list on 14 November 2026. A listing does not declare its prompts, 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 prompt's arguments.
