Zed Everything add

Add Everything to Zed

1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "server-everything": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"
      ]
    }
  }
}

2. 02

   Save the file and restart Zed.

3. 03

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

4. 04

   If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Everything's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Merge this into your existing settings object — do not replace the file. Zed docs
