Connect your data to Zed

Connect Zed's AI assistant to your databases for real-time data access while you code.

What Zed can do with Sequel

Fast editor, full data access

Zed is built for speed. Adding Sequel means you get low-latency data access alongside Zed's fast editing experience — no lag, no context switching.

Schema context for better code

Zed's AI can pull your actual database schema through Sequel and use it to generate accurate SQL, TypeScript types, and ORM models — not guesses based on training data.

Collaborative data exploration

With Zed's multiplayer editing, your whole team can share a session and explore data together. One person queries through Sequel; everyone sees the result.

Example prompts

Everything you can ask Zed about your data.

Ask in plain English. Sequel turns it into a query, runs it read-only, and Zed hands back the answer. No SQL, no dashboards, no CSV exports.

Setup

Add Sequel to Zed

Drop the Sequel MCP server into Zed, then ask it anything about your connected data. Sequel is read-only by default and shows each query before it runs.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "sequel": {
      "url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
      "settings": {
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Install

Install Sequel MCP in Zed

Pick your app and Sequel installs itself: a one-click link where the client supports it, that client’s own few steps where it doesn’t. Every route signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to copy and nothing to keep in sync.
