Zed mcp broadcast__system_info

How to: Zed mcp broadcast__system_info

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:broadcast__system_info

Add mcp to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "mcp": {
      "url": "https://ai.cryptoapis.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that 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

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

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 21 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.
