Overview

This extension connects Zed's Agent Panel with GitHub's MCP server to provide GitHub-specific context in AI conversations. It requires a personal access token with repo permissions and provides GitHub integration through the context server configuration. The extension enables developers to leverage GitHub repository information, issues, and pull requests directly within Zed's AI-powered features.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 5 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:AI-assisted code review with GitHub PR context
you:Querying GitHub issues and repositories from within Zed
you:Enhanced AI responses based on GitHub repository content
you:What permissions do I need for the GitHub PAT?
you:Can I use this with GitHub Enterprise?

When to choose this

Choose this if you're a Zed user who wants GitHub repository context integrated into your IDE's AI workflow.

When NOT to choose this

Don't choose this if you use a different IDE besides Zed, or if you need access to GitHub features beyond repository context.
