Zed Kinocut video_layout_grid

How to: Zed Kinocut video_layout_grid

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:video_layout_grid

Add Kinocut to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "kinocut": {
      "url": "https://mcp.kyanitelabs.tech/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Kinocut'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 13 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.
