Zed#

Connect ClipKit to Zed's Agent Panel as a context server, so its agent can author and preview ClipKit videos.

ClipKit's connector is open (no key) and speaks Streamable HTTP at https://www.clipkit.dev/mcp.

Add the connector#

In Zed's settings.json, add ClipKit under context_servers (Zed's name for MCP servers — not mcpServers):

{
  "context_servers": {
    "clipkit": {
      "url": "https://www.clipkit.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Verify#

Open the Agent Panel → Settings; the clipkit context server should show a connected indicator and an expandable tool list. Then ask the agent to run a ClipKit tool.

Notes#

  • Zed keys servers under context_servers, not mcpServers — pasting a Cursor / Claude block verbatim does nothing.
  • The remote url form needs current Zed. On older builds, use the stdio bridge instead:
{
  "context_servers": {
    "clipkit": {
      "source": "custom",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://www.clipkit.dev/mcp", "--transport", "http-only"]
    }
  }
}
  • Don't add a placeholder Authorization / headers entry — a bogus header can make the open server reject the request. Omit headers entirely.
