Zed
Open-source code editor written in Rust, with a built-in agent and support for outside agents such as Claude and Codex.
Overview
Zed is an open-source code editor written in Rust that runs on your computer and supports collaborative editing. Its built-in agent edits files, navigates code and runs tools, and users review its changes before committing. It also hosts outside agents such as Claude Agent and Codex through the open Agent Client Protocol.
Models come from Zed’s hosted service, the user’s own API keys or local models, and users can connect MCP servers. The editor and agent are mainly GPL-3.0 licensed. Plans are free with your own keys, $10 a month with $5 of tokens included, or $30 per seat for teams.
