# Zed

> Connect the Appeeky MCP server to Zed and query live App Store & Google Play intelligence by chat.

Zed connects to Appeeky as a **context server** at `https://mcp.appeeky.com/mcp`, authenticated with your API key.

<Note>
  Get your API key from [appeeky.com → Settings → API Key](https://appeeky.com) or the [API Dashboard](https://dashboard.appeeky.com).
</Note>

## Connect Appeeky

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the Appeeky context server">
    Open your Zed settings JSON (`cmd`/`ctrl` + `,` → **Open Settings**) and add a context server:

    ```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
    {
      "context_servers": {
        "appeeky": {
          "url": "https://mcp.appeeky.com/mcp",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer apk_your_key_here"
          }
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    <Tip>
      Prefer the UI? Open **Settings → AI → MCP Servers → Add Server → Add Remote Server** and paste the same URL and header.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the tools">
    Open the assistant panel and confirm the `appeeky` tools are available.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Build with Appeeky

Ask Zed in plain language and it calls the right Appeeky tools:

```
Find keyword suggestions for "screen recorder" and tell me which ones
have high volume but low difficulty.
```

```
Compare keyword overlap between Headspace (id: 493145008) and Calm (id: 571800810).
What keywords is Calm ranking for that Headspace is missing?
```

```
What new apps were released in the last 3 days? Are any of them in the Games category?
```

See the full [tool reference](/docs/mcp#available-tools) for everything Appeeky exposes.

## Troubleshooting

* **Tools missing or "not connected"** — re-open Zed's Agent/AI settings and re-add the `appeeky` server, then restart Zed.
* **401 / "authentication required"** — your API key is missing or invalid. Regenerate it at [appeeky.com → Settings → API Key](https://appeeky.com) and update the `Authorization` header.
* **429 / "rate limit"** — you hit a plan or burst limit. See [Rate Limits](/docs/rate-limits).
