Connect Zed to your task board
High-performance editor, MCP-ready.
To connect Zed to a task board, add Weft — a task board with an MCP server — to Zed and sign in once. It takes about three minutes and is free for 50 tasks. After that, Zed creates, moves and finishes tasks on your board when you ask.
Weft is the AI task manager for solo founders and small teams.
Zed's Assistant can call MCP context servers. Point it at Weft to plan and track work from the same window you write code in.

Zed and MCP: common questions
Does Zed support MCP?
Yes. Zed connects to remote MCP servers, and Weft is one: a single endpoint, https://letsweft.com/api/mcp. You sign in once in the browser; there is no API key to copy.
Where do I add an MCP server in Zed?
In Zed itself, not in a file. Start here: Open Zed → Assistant Settings → Context Servers.
Is Weft free to use with Zed?
Yes, for up to 50 tasks, with no credit card. Pro removes the limit.
What can Zed do on my Weft board?
Create, update, move and complete tasks, plan and run sprints, sort work into projects and search across all of it: 32 MCP tools in all.
