Install HaloPSA in Zed

What you need first

  • Zed, installed.
  • Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
  • Your own values for YOUR_HALOPSA_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_HALOPSA_CLIENT_SECRET.

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": {
    "halopsa-mcp": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "HALOPSA_CLIENT_ID", "-e", "HALOPSA_CLIENT_SECRET", "ghcr.io/wyre-technology/halopsa-mcp:v1.7.11"],
      "env": { "HALOPSA_CLIENT_ID": "YOUR_HALOPSA_CLIENT_ID", "HALOPSA_CLIENT_SECRET": "YOUR_HALOPSA_CLIENT_SECRET" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Replace YOUR_HALOPSA_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_HALOPSA_CLIENT_SECRET with your own values.
  2. Save the file. Zed starts the server, and Settings › AI › MCP Servers lists it.

Check it worked

Ask Zed: List the tools of halopsa-mcp.

If it does not start

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon
Docker is not running. Start it, then restart Zed.
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.
