Welcome to the Zed integration guide. This guide will help you connect ByteRover with Zed editor, providing persistent memory capabilities to enhance your AI-powered development experience.

​
What You’ll Need

  • Zed editor installed
  • A ByteRover account

​
Getting Started

​
1. Start the Connection

Go to your ByteRover dashboard and:
  1. Find the “Connect your agent” section
  2. Click on Zed from the list
  3. Hit the “Connect with Zed” button

​
2. Connect ByteRover to Zed

Step 1: Install Byterover Extension Click below button to install Byterover Extension. Install Byterover in Zed Step 2: Update project settings Open or create Zed project settings file at <project-root>/.zed/settings.json, and add the following configuration: 
{
  "context_servers": {
    "mcp-server-byterover": {
      "settings": {
        "source": "extension",
        "memory_workspace_key": "[DASHBOARD_TOKEN]",
        "user_email": "[YOUR_EMAIL]"
      }

Test the Connection

Try this with Zed’s AI assistant: 
Store this string manipulation utility to ByteRover:

function capitalizeWords(str) {
  if (!str || typeof str !== 'string') {
    return '';
  }
  
  return str
    .toLowerCase()
    .split(' ')
    .map(word => word.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + word.slice(1))
    .join(' ');
}
Zed’s AI should confirm the pattern was stored successfully.
