MCP

Install: Zed

Add the Jobby.dev MCP server to Zed via the assistant config — config snippet and a screenshot.

Last updated

Add Jobby.dev to Zed via the assistant's context-server config — Zed's name for MCP.

1. Mint a token

At /account/api-tokens, with the scopes you want available to Zed's assistant.

2. Open Zed settings

Zed > Settings (Cmd+, on macOS, Ctrl+, on Windows / Linux). This opens ~/.config/zed/settings.json (or equivalent on other platforms).

3. Add the context server

{
  "context_servers": {
    "jobbydev": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@jobbydev/mcp"],
        "env": {
          "JOBBYDEV_API_TOKEN": "jbb_..."
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

If context_servers already exists, add the jobbydev entry as a sibling.

4. Save and reload

Zed picks up the change automatically. Open the assistant panel (Cmd+? / Ctrl+?). The jobbydev_* tools should appear under the tools list.

5. Test

Ask the assistant: "What live job-fair events are happening on Jobby.dev?". It should call jobbydev_live_now and surface the results.

HTTP transport

Zed's context-server config supports HTTP transport too — if you'd rather not run a local Node process:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "jobbydev": {
      "url": "https://jobby.dev/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer jbb_..." }
    }
  }
}
