Zed
Add to ~/.config/zed/settings.json.
Zed’s native
context_servers setting — one paste, restart Zed, your banking tools are in every agent thread.Step 01
Edit Zed settings.
Open ~/.config/zed/settings.json (Cmd-, on macOS) and add under context_servers:
settings.json
{
"context_servers": {
"bankbridge": {
"source": "custom",
"command": null,
"url": "https://bankbridge.money/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer bbk_your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}Restart Zed after editing the config.
Step 02
Verify it works.
Open the Assistant panel in Zed and ask:
try this
how much did I spend this week?
Zed shows a “Tools” chip with the 12 BankBridge tools enabled. If it says 0 tools, re-check that the settings.json saved without a syntax error.
Troubleshooting
Client connects but shows 0 tools.
Usually the client is caching an old config, or you're on a mode that doesn't expose tools (Ask/Edit vs Agent, for example).
Fix: Fully quit + relaunch the host app. In VS Code Copilot, switch to Agent mode.
401 Unauthorized on every call.
The API key is missing, typo'd, or got revoked. Check the Authorization header starts with `Bearer ` (note the space) and ends in a key you still own.
Fix: Paste a fresh key from Settings.
Tools return a NO_CONNECTIONS warning.
You haven't linked a bank yet.
Fix: Visit Connect a bank — the bank-connect flow opens automatically, ~30 seconds.
