Zed glim.sh Prompt/research_topic

How to: Zed glim.sh research_topic

client:Zed transport:streamable-http prompt:research_topic

Add glim.sh to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "glim": {
      "url": "https://glim.sh/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

    research_topic is surfaced in the client's prompt or command menu. Unlike a tool, you invoke it deliberately — Zed will not call it for you.

  3. 04

    If it does not appear, check that glim.sh is connected and that you are looking at its prompts rather than its tools.

Merge this into your existing settings object — do not replace the file. Zed docs

Same prompt, other clients

Read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling prompts/list on 24 September 2026. A listing does not declare its prompts, so asking is the only way to know them, and this is what the server actually offers rather than what its listing claims. Names only are stored; connect the server for each prompt's arguments.
