Zed Terradev setup_provider

How to: Zed Terradev setup_provider

client:Zed transport:sse tool:setup_provider

Add Terradev to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "terradev": {
      "url": "https://terradev-mcp.terradev.cloud/sse"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

Terradev will not start until these are set, so setup_provider 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.
