Connect Zed to Entalpa

Configure Entalpa as a Zed custom remote MCP server with context_servers, then install the skills in Zed's documented skills path.

before you start

Zed will ask you to log in

The MCP server serves your own projects, so it authenticates you: the first connection opens a browser and asks for your Entalpa account. Register first, otherwise that prompt has nothing to accept. Registration is free, no card, and MCP calls never spend credits.

Create a free account

requirements

Current stable Zed build with MCP support.
Browser access for OAuth.

install mcp server

Add through Zed settings

Open Settings, AI, MCP Servers, choose Add Server, then Add Remote Server. Name it entalpa, use https://api.entalpa.com/mcp, and leave the Authorization header unset so Zed starts standard MCP OAuth.

Direct remote MCP config

{
  "context_servers": {
    "entalpa": {
      "url": "https://api.entalpa.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

install entalpa skill

Install from entalpa/entalpa-mcp's default branch for the latest skill, or use a release tag for a reproducible install.

Install the Entalpa skills manually

tmpdir="$(mktemp -d)"
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/entalpa/entalpa-mcp.git "$tmpdir"
mkdir -p .agents/skills
cp -R "$tmpdir/skills/." .agents/skills/

verify

Open the Zed Agent Panel and confirm the Entalpa MCP server status.
If Zed prompts for OAuth because no Authorization header is configured, complete the browser authorization flow.

known limitations

Validate Entalpa OAuth behavior against the installed Zed build before sharing this as a team standard.
Do not document a bridge until it is tested against the current stable Zed build.
