zed -sequential-thinking

This MCP server extension integrates the Sequential Thinking context server with Zed's Agent Panel, enabling Zed to query and leverage sequential reasoning capabilities as part of its AI workflows. Once installed, the extension exposes a context server endpoint that Zed can connect to in order to retrieve sequential-thinking insights, plan actions, or reason through multi-step tasks in a coordinated fashion. Use the Zed Extension Manager to enable this MCP extension, then configure the Zed Agent Panel to point to the Sequential Thinking context server as a context source. The extension acts as a bridge, allowing Zed to incorporate Sequential Thinking outputs into prompts, task planning, and agent reasoning flows within the UI.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js installed on your system (or the environment where Zed runs extensions)
• Access to the Zed Extensions marketplace or the ability to install extensions from a local/package source

Installation steps:

1. Obtain the MCP server extension package for Zed Sequential Thinking (e.g., loamstudios-zed-mcp-server-sequential-thinking).
2. Install the package in your Zed environment via the preferred method:
   • If using a marketplace or built-in extension manager: search for and install the extension named 'loamstudios-zed-mcp-server-sequential-thinking'.
   • If installing locally via npm: npm install loamstudios-zed-mcp-server-sequential-thinking
3. Ensure Node.js is available since this extension runs a Node-based server wrapper. If using a different runtime, adapt the command accordingly (see mcp_config).
4. Start or enable the extension so that Zed can discover and connect to the MCP server. This might involve reloading Zed extensions or restarting the Zed application.
5. In Zed, navigate to Extensions and enable the Sequential Thinking MCP server extension, then verify that the context server endpoint is reachable from the Agent Panel.

Tips:

• If you already have a running Sequential Thinking context server, ensure the MCP extension is configured to point to the correct endpoint in Zed.
• Check Zed extension logs for connection status between the Agent Panel and the Sequential Thinking context server. Look for initial handshake messages and any auth or network-related errors.
• If environment variables are required (for example, API keys or endpoints for Sequential Thinking), set them in the mcp_config under env. Common issues include network access restrictions or mismatched endpoint URLs.
• The exact path to server.js in the mcp_config should reflect your deployment layout; adjust "path/to/server.js" to the actual entry script in your environment.
