Zed Algenta MCP Server refresh_data

How to: Zed Algenta MCP Server refresh_data

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:refresh_data

Add Algenta MCP Server to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "algenta": {
      "url": "https://api.algenta.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Algenta 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

Set these first

Algenta MCP Server will not start until these are set, so refresh_data never becomes available.

  • ALGENTA_API_KEY
  • ALGENTA_BASE_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.
