What makes Zed Editor different from VS Code?

Zed is written in Rust and utilizes GPU-accelerated UI rendering, resulting in significantly lower latency and faster performance compared to Electron-based editors.

How do I debug AI agent communication in Zed?

You can open the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P) and run 'dev: open acp logs' to see the real-time messages being exchanged between Zed and the AI agent.

Can I use MCP with Zed Editor?

Yes, Zed supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) indirectly through ACP-compliant agents like Claude Code that have built-in MCP support.

How do I enable Claude Code in Zed?

Zed natively integrates Claude Code; you can configure it via the agent_servers section in your settings.json and activate it using specific keybindings.

What is the Agent Client Protocol (ACP)?

ACP is a standardized protocol, inspired by LSP, that standardizes communication between code editors and AI coding agents using JSON-RPC over stdio.
