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 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. 1

    Add a remote server

    Open Settings → AI → MCP Servers → Add Server → Add Remote Server, or add the JSON below to settings.json.

  2. 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. 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). 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. 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?
