Zed ~Alter Identity Resource/Real life, across every walk of it

How to: Zed ~Alter Identity Real life, across every walk of it

client:Zed transport:streamable-http resource:Real life, across every walk of it

Add ~Alter Identity to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "identity": {
      "url": "https://mcp.truealter.com/api/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

    Real life, across every walk of it 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 ~Alter Identity 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 24 September 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.
