description: Add FLORA MCP to Zed via settings.json.
---

Zed calls MCP servers **context servers**. Add FLORA to your user `settings.json`.

## Install

Open the command palette (`Cmd+Shift+P`) → **zed: open settings** → add a `context_servers` entry:

```
{
  "context_servers": {
    "flora": {
      "source": "custom",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://florafauna-ai.stlmcp.com/"]
    }
  }
}
```

Zed currently invokes context servers as local processes. The `mcp-remote` shim ([npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-remote)) bridges Zed’s stdio interface to FLORA’s hosted HTTP transport and handles OAuth in your browser.

Save the file. Zed picks up the change immediately.

## Authorize

Open the AI panel (`Cmd+?`) and ask:

> List my FLORA Techniques.

`mcp-remote` opens a browser for OAuth on first use. Sign in to FLORA and approve. The token is cached in `~/.mcp-auth/`.

## Verify

Zed’s AI panel will show **flora** as a connected context server. The available tools appear in the slash-command menu and the agent picks them automatically when relevant.

## Remove

Delete the `flora` entry from `settings.json`. To clear the cached OAuth token: `rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth/flora`. Revoke server-side in FLORA → Settings → Connected apps.
