Zed SlotMaps read_machine_photo

How to: Zed SlotMaps read_machine_photo

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:read_machine_photo

Add SlotMaps to Zed

  1. 01

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

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

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that SlotMaps'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 15 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.
