Install Afya Ya Akili in Zed
What you need first
- Zed, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with.
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": {
"afya-ya-akili-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["afya-ya-akili-mcp==0.1.10"]
}
}
} - Save the file. Zed starts the server, and Settings › AI › MCP Servers lists it.
Check it worked
Ask Zed: List the tools of afya-ya-akili-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
uvxin 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.
