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

      "url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
      "settings": {

        }
      }
    }
  }
}
