client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:subscribe_rate_alert

Add RateAPI — live US mortgage, auto, HELOC, personal & deposit rates to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.rateapi.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that RateAPI — live US mortgage, auto, HELOC, personal & deposit rates'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 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.
