Zed pdfedit mcp pdf_find

How to: Zed pdfedit mcp pdf_find

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:pdf_find

Add pdfedit mcp to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "pdfedit-mcp": {
      "url": "https://pdfedit-mcp-remote.niubai-pdfedit-remote-worker.workers.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

pdfedit mcp will not start until these are set, so pdf_find never becomes available.

  • PDFEDIT_API_KEY
  • PDFEDIT_BASE_URL

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 16 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.
