Connect RocketReach to Zed

Bring RocketReach's people and company data into Zed by adding the RocketReach MCP server as a remote MCP server and signing in.

Requirements

In Zed, open Settings → AI → General → MCP Servers. Click Add Server and choose Add Remote Server.

Enter the following details:

Field	Value
Name	`RocketReach`
URL	`https://mcp.rocketreach.co/mcp`

Or add it to your settings file: run zed: open settings file from the command palette and add:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "rocketreach": {
      "url": "https://mcp.rocketreach.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

When Zed prompts you to authenticate, sign in to your RocketReach account and approve access.

In the Agent Panel, ask:

What RocketReach tools do you have?

If Zed lists the RocketReach tools, you're all set.

Try these once you're connected:

Find 5 decision-makers at [company] and add them to leads.csv.
Write a script that enriches companies.csv with industry and employee count from RocketReach.
Get the verified email for the VP of Product at [company].

Problem	Solution
Server is ignored	Zed reads the key `context_servers`, not `mcpServers`. Check that the settings file is valid JSON.
No sign-in prompt	Remove any `Authorization` header from the entry so Zed uses OAuth.
Sign-in loops or approval fails	Allow pop-ups and sign in with your RocketReach account.
Tools don't appear	Check that the server is switched on in Settings → AI → MCP Servers.
