Install Data Gleaner in Zed
What you need first
- Zed, installed.
- Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and Zed connects to it.
Steps
- Open Zed's settings file,
~/.config/zed/settings.json(on Windows%APPDATA%\Zed\settings.json), or.zed/settings.jsonfor one project. - Add this block. If the file already has
context_servers, add only the entry inside it.
{
"context_servers": {
"data-gleaner-mcp": {
"url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=datagleaner/website-contact-details-scraper,datagleaner/team-page-contacts,datagleaner/company-domain-finder,datagleaner/google-maps-leads,datagleaner/youtube-channel-contacts,datagleaner/weibo-scraper,datagleaner/wechat-articles,datagleaner/google-play-scraper,datagleaner/youtube-comments-scraper,datagleaner/xiaohongshu-rednote-scraper,datagleaner/tiktok-contacts,datagleaner/company-enrichment-by-domain,datagleaner/bio-link-email-finder,datagleaner/aliexpress-scraper"
}
}
} - Save the file. Zed starts the server, and Settings › AI › MCP Servers lists it.
Check it worked
Ask Zed: List the tools of data-gleaner-mcp.
If it does not start
- 401 Unauthorized
- The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when Zed asks.
- Nothing changes after a restart
- The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
