Install Clearfeed Labs Data Feeds in Zed

What you need first

• Zed, installed.
• Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and Zed connects to it.
• Your own value for YOUR_AUTHORIZATION.

Steps

1. Open Zed's settings file, ~/.config/zed/settings.json (on Windows %APPDATA%\Zed\settings.json), or .zed/settings.json for one project.
2. Add this block. If the file already has context_servers, add only the entry inside it.

{
  "context_servers": {
    "apify-data-feeds": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=clearfeedlabs/grant-fellowship-radar,clearfeedlabs/entry-jobs-feed,clearfeedlabs/ats-jobs-feed,clearfeedlabs/form4-insider-trades,clearfeedlabs/form-d-funding-feed,clearfeedlabs/storm-roofing-feed,clearfeedlabs/local-business-leads,clearfeedlabs/company-contact-enrichment,clearfeedlabs/clinical-trial-tracker,clearfeedlabs/money-trail-federal-awards,clearfeedlabs/political-ad-spend-tracker,clearfeedlabs/district-pain-point-tracker,clearfeedlabs/legislator-record-tracker,clearfeedlabs/retirement-place-scorer,clearfeedlabs/paper-to-lab-research-finder,clearfeedlabs/congress-issue-activity-tracker,clearfeedlabs/open-dataset-finder",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "YOUR_AUTHORIZATION" }
    }
  }
}

3. Replace YOUR_AUTHORIZATION with your own value.
4. Save the file. Zed starts the server, and Settings › AI › MCP Servers lists it.

Check it worked

Ask Zed: List the tools of apify-data-feeds.

If it does not start

401 Unauthorized

The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when Zed asks, or check the value in place of the placeholder.

The server starts, but its tools fail

A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.

Nothing changes after a restart

The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
