Zed + Nitrosend MCP

Zed is a high-performance code editor with AI assistant support. Zed currently supports MCP servers via stdio transport — use mcp-remote to bridge the connection to Nitrosend’s HTTP server.

​
Setup

​
Step 1: Add the MCP server

Add to your Zed settings (Settings → Open Settings): 
{
  "context_servers": {
    "nitrosend": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.nitrosend.com/mcp"]
      }
    }
  }
}

​
Step 2: Sign in

On first tool call, mcp-remote opens your browser for Nitrosend sign-in. Log in or create a free account — no API key needed.

​
Step 3: Verify

In Zed’s AI assistant, ask: 
What's my Nitrosend account status?

​
Alternative: API Key

If browser-based OAuth doesn’t work in your environment, use the stdio bridge with an API key: 
{
  "context_servers": {
    "nitrosend": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@nitrosend/mcp"],
        "env": {
          "NITROSEND_API_KEY": "nskey_live_your_key_here"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
Get your API key from Settings > API Keys in the Nitrosend dashboard.

​
Example workflows

Set up my brand from https://mysite.com and draft a welcome email.

Create a campaign called "Product Update" targeting my main list.

​
Troubleshooting

Make sure npx is available in your PATH. You may need Node.js 18+ installed.
mcp-remote launches a browser for auth. If your environment doesn’t support this, use the API key method instead.
Zed’s native HTTP transport and OAuth support is in development. Once available, you’ll be able to connect directly without mcp-remote.
