# BankBridge with Zed

Updated Apr 23, 2026·2 min read

Add BankBridge to Zed once, then ask it about your real bank accounts, transactions, subscriptions, and investment holdings. Every question live-fetches in real time — nothing is cached. $5/mo per connected bank.

## Setup

Paste the config below into `~/.config/zed/settings.json`. Swap the placeholder key for your real `bbk_` key from [your dashboard](/dashboard/settings).

```
{
  "context_servers": {
    "bankbridge": {
      "source": "custom",
      "command": null,
      "url": "https://bankbridge.money/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer bbk_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

The [full doc page](/docs/zed) for Zedauto-fills your real key when you’re signed in.

## Three prompts to try

-   > “List my bank accounts and current balances.”
    
-   > “How much did I spend on food this month?”
    
-   > “What are my recurring subscriptions?”
    

## If it doesn’t work

Check the [Zed doc page](/docs/zed) for the Troubleshooting section. 90% of first-time failures are either a missing `Bearer` prefix (note the space) or a placeholder key that didn’t get replaced with a real one.
