How to: Zed Api2Pdf MCP by usefulapi api2pdf_url_to_image

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:api2pdf_url_to_image

Add Api2Pdf MCP by usefulapi to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "api2pdf": {
      "url": "https://api2pdf.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

    Ask for something api2pdf_url_to_image does. Zed lists the server's tools on connect and calls api2pdf_url_to_image itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Api2Pdf MCP by usefulapi'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 14 November 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.
