Part3 Developers

Zed

Connect Part3 to the Zed editor's MCP support.

Zed has built-in MCP support under its Context Servers feature. Add Part3 in settings.json.

Locate the config file

OSPath
macOS~/.config/zed/settings.json
Windows%APPDATA%\Zed\settings.json
Linux~/.config/zed/settings.json

You can also open it from the command palette: cmd-shift-pzed: open settings.

Add the MCP server

{
  "context_servers": {
    "part3": {
      "source": "custom",
      "command": null,
      "args": [],
      "env": {},
      "url": "https://mcp.part3.io"
    }
  }
}

HTTP MCP support

Zed's HTTP MCP support is the path you want. If your Zed install only exposes the command-based stdio interface, run a local MCP HTTP-to-stdio bridge or upgrade Zed.

No header, no secret. Zed opens a browser on first use to sign in and approve access.

Prime-only access

MCP is currently limited to users who are a Project Prime on at least one project, plus super-duper-admins. Non-Primes will see an access-denied page on the consent screen.

Verify

Open Zed's assistant panel. The part3 server should appear with its tools listed under the context picker.

Troubleshooting

See the Claude Code troubleshooting section — the causes and fixes apply to Zed as well.
