Zed

Zed IDE supports AI Bridge via its language_models configuration in settings.json.

Configuration

To configure Zed to use AI Bridge, you need to edit your settings.json file. You can access this by pressing Cmd/Ctrl + , or opening the command palette and searching for "Open Settings".

You can configure both Anthropic and OpenAI providers to point to AI Bridge.

{ "language_models": { "anthropic": { "api_url": "https://coder.example.com/api/v2/aibridge/anthropic", }, "openai": { "api_url": "https://coder.example.com/api/v2/aibridge/openai/v1", }, }, // optional settings to set favorite models for the AI "agent": { "favorite_models": [ { "provider": "anthropic", "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5-thinking-latest" }, { "provider": "openai", "model": "gpt-5.2-codex" } ], }, }

Replace coder.example.com with your Coder deployment URL.

Note

These settings and environment variables need to be configured from client side. Zed currently does not support reading these settings from remote configuration. See this feature request for more details.

Authentication

Zed requires an API key for these providers. For AI Bridge, this key is your Coder Session Token.

You can set this in two ways:

  1. Open the Assistant Panel (right sidebar).
  2. Click Configuration or the settings icon.
  3. Select your provider ("Anthropic" or "OpenAI").
  4. Paste your Coder Session Token for the API Key.
