Connect Zed to BCTRL MCP

On current Zed builds, add BCTRL to context_servers in settings.json:

1
{
2
  "context_servers": {
3
    "bctrl": {
4
      "source": "custom",
5
      "url": "https://api.bctrl.ai/mcp"
6
    }
7
  }
8
}

Zed prompts for the standard MCP OAuth flow when a remote server has no Authorization header. Add it from Agent Panel → Settings → MCP Servers → Add Custom Server.

If your Zed build only supports command-based context servers, bridge through mcp-remote:

1
{
2
  "context_servers": {
3
    "bctrl": {
4
      "source": "custom",
5
      "command": "npx",
6
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.bctrl.ai/mcp"]
7
    }
8
  }
9
}
