# Zed with zurelay

> The fast editor with a built-in agent panel. Made by Zed Industries.

Source: https://zurelay.com/docs/integrations/zed

The examples use `claude-opus-5-5`. Any model ID from [the models page](https://zurelay.com/docs/models) works.

## Set it up

1. Export `ZURELAY_API_KEY`. Zed reads it for a provider named `zurelay`, or you can paste the key in Agent Settings.
2. Add zurelay under `language_models.openai_compatible` in your settings, or use Add Provider under LLM Providers in Agent Settings.
3. Pick the model from the Agent Panel’s model menu.

## Configuration

settings.json (`~/.config/zed/settings.json`):

```json
{
  "language_models": {
    "openai_compatible": {
      "zurelay": {
        "api_url": "https://api.zurelay.com/v1",
        "available_models": [
          {
            "name": "claude-opus-5-5",
            "display_name": "Claude Opus 5.5",
            "max_tokens": 1000000
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
```

> **Note:** Keep the key out of `settings.json`. Zed reads `ZURELAY_API_KEY` from your environment, or stores a key you paste in the system keychain.
