Add the Admin MCP server to Zed

Add the Admin entry the way Zed’s own docs describe, fill in what it needs, then check it’s connected.

  1. Open settings.json

  2. Paste the server entry

    {
      "context_servers": {
        "microsoft-admin": {
          "url": "https://agent365.svc.cloud.microsoft/agents/tenants/<tenant_id>/servers/mcp_AdminTools"
        }
      }
    }

    If the file already has servers, add the entry inside the existing object.

  3. Fill in the values

    What you fill in

    Required values appear as <NAME> placeholders in the snippets; add optional ones the same way. Descriptions are the server’s registry entry’s.

    • <tenant_id> Value Required

      Microsoft Entra tenant ID

  4. Check it’s connected

    Restart or reload Zed and look for microsoft-admin in its list of MCP servers. A server that needs sign-in opens it on first use.
