How to Connect HubSpot to Zed
Query your HubSpot data directly from Zed using Sequel’s MCP server. Ask questions in plain English, with no SQL, no dashboards, and no context switching.
Short answer
Connect HubSpot to Sequel, then add Sequel's MCP server to Zed using the config on this page. Zed can then query your live HubSpot data in plain English, with no connector code and no CSV exports. Both steps take a few minutes.
Everything you can ask Zed about your HubSpot data.
Ask in plain English — Sequel translates it into a HubSpot query, runs it, and Zed hands back the answer. No SQL, no dashboards, no CSV exports.

How it works
Three steps to get started
Connect HubSpot to Sequel
In your Sequel dashboard, go to Connections and add HubSpot. Sequel handles authentication and schema discovery automatically.
Add Sequel to the agent
Copy the Sequel MCP configuration into Zed's settings file (shown below). Swap in your API key from Settings → API Keys.
Ask Zed about your data
Restart Zed and start asking questions. "How many open deals do we have, broken down by stage and owner?" — and get a real answer backed by live HubSpot data.
Why Zed
What Zed does with your HubSpot data
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.
Configuration
Add Sequel to Zed
Place this in ~/.config/zed/settings.json and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.
~/.config/zed/settings.json
{
"context_servers": {
"sequel": {
"url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
"settings": {
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
}
}
}
}
}Install
Install HubSpot 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.

Frequently asked questions
How do I connect HubSpot to Zed?
You need two things: (1) connect HubSpot to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to Zed using the setup shown above. Once both are done, Zed can query your HubSpot data directly.
What HubSpot data can Zed access?
Zed can access any data available through your HubSpot connection in Sequel. Use Sequel's search tool to discover available metrics and dimensions, then execute queries to pull the data you need.
Is my HubSpot data sent to Zed's servers?
Query results are returned to Zed as context within your conversation. Only the data you explicitly ask about is retrieved. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.
Do I need a Sequel account?
Yes. You need a Sequel account to connect HubSpot and generate an API key. Sign up free at sequel.sh — no credit card required. Then create a connection to HubSpot and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.
Can I connect multiple HubSpot accounts?
Yes. Sequel supports multiple connections of the same type. If you have multiple HubSpot accounts or properties, add each as a separate connection in Sequel. Zed will be able to query all of them.
How do I add Sequel to Zed?
Open Zed settings (Cmd+, on macOS), find the `context_servers` key, and add the Sequel configuration shown above. Restart Zed for changes to take effect.
Which Zed AI features work with Sequel MCP?
Sequel tools are available in Zed's AI panel (Assistant). You can call them from the chat interface. Support for additional Zed AI features depends on Zed's MCP integration updates.
Does Zed support HTTP MCP servers?
Yes, Zed supports MCP over HTTP (Streamable HTTP transport). The Sequel MCP endpoint uses this transport, so no extra configuration is needed.
Can I use Sequel MCP in Zed's multiplayer sessions?
MCP tools in Zed are currently per-user — each collaborator connects with their own API key. Tool call results are visible to all participants in a shared session.
How do I connect HubSpot to Sequel?
Click 'New Connection' → HubSpot, name it, and click 'Connect with HubSpot'. HubSpot's OAuth screen will ask you to choose a portal and confirm the read-only CRM scopes Sequel needs. The whole flow takes under a minute.
What HubSpot permissions does Sequel ask for?
Read-only access to contacts, companies, deals, tickets, and their schemas: crm.objects.{contacts,companies,deals,tickets}.read plus crm.schemas.{contacts,companies,deals,tickets}.read. No write scopes are requested, so Sequel cannot create, update, or delete CRM records.
Does Sequel support custom properties?
Yes. The connector pulls the property schema for each object type at query time and uses your real custom property names — so 'ACV', 'Onboarding Status', or whatever you've built shows up in answers without manual configuration.
Can Sequel see Marketing Hub data — emails, forms, workflows?
Out of the box the connector ships read tools for CRM objects (contacts, companies, deals, tickets) and pipelines. Marketing assets like emails and workflows are not currently exposed; ping us if you need them and we'll prioritize.
