How to: Zed Ashley Payne, technical co-founder and fractional CTO list_work

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:list_work

Add Ashley Payne, technical co-founder and fractional CTO to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "ashley-payne": {
      "url": "https://www.ashleypayne.co.uk/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Ashley Payne, technical co-founder and fractional CTO'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.
