Zed Tasks Example greet

How to: Zed Tasks Example greet

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:greet

Add Tasks Example to Zed

01
Open ~/.config/zed/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "context_servers": {
    "tasks-example": {
      "url": "https://tasks-example-ca49f0f6.alpic.live"
    }
  }
}

02
Save the file and restart Zed.
03
Ask for something greet does. Zed lists the server's tools on connect and calls greet itself — you do not invoke it by name.
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Tasks Example'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 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.
