# apifare for Zed

One prepaid, capped key for every API your agent needs, under hard caps and a kill switch.

1. Get a token: https://apifare.com/start?origin=page:integrations-zed (shown once).
2. Add this to your Zed settings file (run zed: open settings file). Zed calls MCP servers context_servers.

```
{
  "context_servers": {
    "apifare": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "apifare-mcp"],
      "env": { "APIPAY_TOKEN": "<your-token>" }
    }
  }
}
```

   Replace <your-token> with your token. Save the settings: Zed starts the server, and the agent can use its tools.
3. Try it: "search the web for X", then "fetch a URL", then "what's the weather in London".
4. Caps and the kill switch are checked before dispatch. An empty balance returns HTTP 402 with a top-up link (see /errors.md).
