Install Recruitment Ai in Zed

What you need first

• Zed, installed.
• uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.

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": {
    "recruitment-ai-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["recruitment-ai-mcp==1.0.8"]
    }
  }
}

3. Save the file. Zed starts the server, and Settings › AI › MCP Servers lists it.

Check it worked

Ask Zed: List the tools of recruitment-ai-mcp.

If it does not start

spawn uvx ENOENT

uv is not on the PATH that Zed sees. Install it, or write the full path of uvx in the config.

Nothing changes after a restart

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