Format Notes
Section titled “Format Notes”Zed uses a different JSON key for MCP server definitions. Where most providers use mcpServers, Zed uses context_servers. Syllago handles this key mapping automatically.
Zed discovers rules from three file formats: .rules, .cursorrules, and CLAUDE.md.
Detection
Section titled “Detection”Syllago detects Zed by checking for the ~/.config/zed directory or the zed command in PATH.
