Install snippet

Drop this into Zed

Zed reads MCP servers from its settings.json under `context_servers`. Add the snippet there.

Config file:~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "promptot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@prompt-ot/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PROMPTOT_API_KEY": "pot_YOUR_KEY_HERE",
        "PROMPTOT_MCP_CLIENT": "zed"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace pot_YOUR_KEY_HERE with the key you generate in your project's API keys page.
