Connecting PF Create to Zed

Difficulty: Moderate — Zed routes remote SSE servers through a local bridge.
Requires: Zed v0.18+, Node.js (for mcp-remote bridge)

Before You Start

• Your pfk_… Portal Access Key — log in at user.pfcreate.ca, select Security from the menu, click Rotate Portal Access Key, and copy the key immediately. It will not be shown again.
• Install the mcp-remote bridge: npm install -g mcp-remote

Config File

Edit ~/.config/zed/settings.json and add:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "pfcreate": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": ["-y","mcp-remote","https://mcp.pfcreate.ca/sse","--header","Authorization: Bearer pfk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"]
      }
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

mcp-remote not found — Run npm install -g mcp-remote.

401 errors — Check the full pfk_ prefix is present.
