Zed Vision Driven Design (VDD) MCP Server vdd_tasks
How to: Zed Vision Driven Design (VDD) MCP Server vdd_tasks
Add Vision Driven Design (VDD) MCP Server to Zed
-
01
Open ~/.config/zed/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"context_servers": {
"vision-driven-design": {
"url": "https://vdd.simonmak.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Zed.
-
03
Ask for something vdd_tasks does. Zed lists the server's tools on connect and calls vdd_tasks itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Vision Driven Design (VDD) MCP Server'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
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 3 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.
