Zed Setup
Add Memcone memory to Zed in under 60 seconds.
Automatic setup (recommended)
Run this in your project directory:
npx @memcone/cli linknpx @memcone/cli linklink detects Zed and writes the MCP config automatically. Reload Zed and you're done.
You need a Memcone API key from dashboard → API keys. The CLI will prompt for it on first run and save it to ~/.memcone/credentials.
Manual config
Open your Zed settings (Cmd+,) and add a context_servers block:
{
"context_servers": {
"memcone": {
"url": "https://memcone.com/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer mem_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}{
"context_servers": {
"memcone": {
"url": "https://memcone.com/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer mem_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}Reload with Cmd+Shift+P → Reload Extensions or restart Zed.
Using it
In any Zed AI panel session, the AI now has access to:
memcone.context— injects your project identity, rules, and past session memorymemcone.remember— stores facts the AI learns about youmemcone.recall— searches past memory on demand
"Remember that I use two-space indentation in this project"
"What have we discussed about the API design?"
Troubleshooting
Tools don't appear
→ Confirm the context_servers key is at the root of your settings JSON and reload extensions.
401 Unauthorized
→ Verify your key at dashboard → API keys. It must start with mem_live_.
No memory returned → Nothing is stored yet. Tell Zed AI: "Remember that this project uses Elixir and Phoenix". Confirm at dashboard → Memory.
