Zed clousd mcp snapshots

How to: Zed clousd mcp snapshots

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:snapshots

Add clousd mcp to Zed

  1. 01

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

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

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

clousd mcp will not start until these are set, so snapshots never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 9 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.
