Zed Parallax Protocol explorer_stats
How to: Zed Parallax Protocol explorer_stats
Add Parallax Protocol to Zed
-
01
Open ~/.config/zed/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"context_servers": {
"parallax-mcp": {
"url": "https://mcp.parallaxprotocol.org/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Zed.
-
03
Ask for something explorer_stats does. Zed lists the server's tools on connect and calls explorer_stats itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Parallax Protocol'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
Parallax Protocol will not start until these are set, so explorer_stats never becomes available.

PARALLAX_MCP_GROUPS
Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 13 October 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.
