Zed Smarter Weather get_map_snapshot

How to: Zed Smarter Weather get_map_snapshot

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:get_map_snapshot

Add Smarter Weather to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "weather": {
      "url": "https://mcp.smarterweather.com"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

Smarter Weather will not start until these are set, so get_map_snapshot never becomes available.

  • SMARTERWEATHER_API_KEY
  • SMARTERWEATHER_MCP_URL

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.
