You can use Tidewave with Zed. First, you must install a mcp-proxy.

Once that's done, open up the Assistant tab and click on the icon at the top right (see image below):

Zed AI panel

In the new pane, select "Add Custom Server" to open a new dialog. Fill in the name of your choice and the following command.

On macos/Linux:

/path/to/mcp-proxy http://localhost:$PORT/tidewave/mcp

On Windows:

/path/to/mcp-proxy.exe http://localhost:$PORT/tidewave/mcp

Where $PORT is the port your web application is running on.

And you are good to go! Now Zed will list all tools from Tidewave available. If your application uses a SQL database, you can verify it all works by asking it to run SELECT 1 as database query. If it fails, check out our Troubleshooting guide. You can also manage your installation, by clicking on the same icon and then on "Settings".
