# Use Forkmate in Zed

Zed connects to remote MCP servers and handles the OAuth sign-in itself. Add Forkmate in settings and click Authenticate.

No Forkmate account yet? [Create one free](https://app.forkmate.ai/) first. It takes under a minute, and Zed sends you there on first connect anyway.

## Set up Forkmate in Zed

`https://mcp.forkmate.ai/`

Forkmate’s server URL. Streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in, no API key.

1. Add a remote server

Open Settings → AI → MCP Servers → Add Server → Add Remote Server, or add the JSON below to settings.json.
2. Sign in to Forkmate once

Zed (click Authenticate on the server) opens a Forkmate sign-in in your browser. Sign in (or create your free account) and approve access. That one-time OAuth step connects it to your diary and nobody else’s.
3. Log your first meal

In Zed’s agent panel, say “I had two eggs and toast for breakfast.” It logs the meal with calories and macros to your Forkmate diary.

settings.json

```
{
  "context_servers": {
    "forkmate": {
      "url": "https://mcp.forkmate.ai/"
    }
  }
}
```

## What you need

- A free Forkmate account ([sign up](https://app.forkmate.ai/)). There is no paid plan.
- A recent Zed. Zed 1.21 fixed OAuth for some servers, so update if sign-in fails.

Checked September 30, 2026 against the vendor’s documentation: [Zed docs: MCP](https://zed.dev/docs/ai/mcp). Zed changes its menus often; if yours looks different, trust what it shows.

## What to say first

Once it’s connected, talk to Zed the way you’d tell a friend:

> I had two eggs and toast for breakfast.

It logs the meal with calories, protein, carbs and fat to your diary at app.forkmate.ai. Then try:

- How many calories have I had today?
- Make the toast two slices.
- What did I eat this week?
