Zed GitHub create_pull_request

How to: Zed GitHub create_pull_request

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:create_pull_request

Add GitHub to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "github-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

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.
