Zed aifree best_list

How to: Zed aifree best_list

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:best_list

Add aifree to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "aifree": {
      "url": "https://aifree.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

aifree will not start until these are set, so best_list never becomes available.

  • AIFREE_MCP_URL

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 November 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.
