Zed reference data mcp server ref_constant_lookup

How to: Zed reference data mcp server ref_constant_lookup

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:ref_constant_lookup

Add reference data mcp server to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "reference-data-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://reference-data.caseyjhand.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

reference data mcp server will not start until these are set, so ref_constant_lookup never becomes available.

  • MCP_LOG_LEVEL

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.
