Zed transcription transcribe_status

How to: Zed transcription transcribe_status

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:transcribe_status

Add transcription to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "transcription": {
      "url": "https://platform.scriptivox.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

transcription will not start until these are set, so transcribe_status never becomes available.

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.
