Zed is a high-performance code editor whose MCP client implements the
Tools and Prompts features, refreshing tools dynamically when a server
sends notifications/tools/list_changed. Servers come in through two
doors: extensions from the Zed marketplace, or custom entries under
Settings > AI > MCP Servers, where a url connects a remote HTTP
server and command plus args runs a local stdio one.
Zed's documentation references the 2025-11-25 specification for both supported features and names Discovery, Sampling, and Elicitation as future work it welcomes contributions on, which grounds a legacy spec status: verified support for a specific earlier revision, with 2026-07-28 support not claimed on any surface.
