Zed mrd selection_guide

How to: Zed mrd selection_guide

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:selection_guide

Add mrd to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "mrd": {
      "url": "https://newspacemarket.com/mrd-connect/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

mrd will not start until these are set, so selection_guide never becomes available.

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.
