Add the NVIDIA CUDA Docs MCP server to Zed

Add the NVIDIA CUDA Docs 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": {
        "nvidia-cuda-docs": {
          "url": "https://api.copilot.nsight.ngc.nvidia.com/mcp/cuda-docs"
        }
      }
    }

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

  3. Check it’s connected

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