Zed ContextLayer Resource/User Profile

How to: Zed ContextLayer User Profile

client:Zed transport:streamable-http resource:User Profile

Add ContextLayer to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "context-layer": {
      "url": "https://api.dotnova.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

    User Profile 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 ContextLayer 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.
