# Connect LFG Alarm to Zed

AI agents · https://lfg.gm/agents/zed · Updated 2026-10-19

To connect LFG Alarm to Zed, add `https://mcp.lfg.gm` as a remote MCP server (in Zed's settings under **AI** > **MCP Servers**, or as a `context_servers` entry in `settings.json`) and sign in with your LFG Alarm account when Zed asks. Then ask Zed's agent for an alarm while you code ("ring me in 20 minutes, when the tests should be done"), and it rings on your phone. LFG Alarm is a social alarm clock for iPhone and Android.

## Before you start

- **Get the LFG Alarm app on your phone** from Google Play or the App Store, and sign in. Your AI agent makes the alarms; the app is what rings them.
- Have your LFG Alarm sign-in handy. You will sign in once, on lfg.gm, to let Zed use your account.

## Connect it

1. Open Zed's settings, go to **AI** > **MCP Servers** (or run the `agent: open settings` action and choose MCP Servers).
2. Click **Add Server**, then **Add Remote Server**, and paste `https://mcp.lfg.gm`. Name it `lfg-alarm`.
3. Zed prompts you to sign in. A browser opens on lfg.gm: sign in with your LFG Alarm account and tap **Allow**.

Or add it to your settings file yourself (`zed: open settings file`). Leave out any `Authorization` header, so Zed uses the sign-in:

```json
{ "context_servers": { "lfg-alarm": { "url": "https://mcp.lfg.gm" } } }
```

These steps follow Zed's own docs. Menus move; if a label differs, look for MCP servers in Zed's AI settings.

## Use it in the agent panel

Ask in the agent panel. Zed's agent reaches for LFG Alarm when you mention an alarm.

It fits the waits in a coding day: a release build, a long test run, a database restore. Sam asks for a one-off alarm when a Rust release build should be done and goes to make lunch. Maya's team waits on the same deploy, so she makes it a friends alarm and adds two teammates; every phone rings at once. For a ring when the job actually ends rather than at a guessed time, ask for an anything alarm: the agent hands back a private link and a `curl -X POST` to it as the last step rings you. See [How to make any app, script or feed ring your phone](https://lfg.gm/webhook-alarm).

## Try it

**Try this.** Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or another AI agent that has the LFG Alarm connector (https://mcp.lfg.gm), not into the LFG Alarm app. The person needs the LFG Alarm app on their phone.

> Use LFG Alarm to set a one-off time alarm for 20 minutes from now called "Tests should be done". Then tell me the date and time it will ring.

Why it works: A one-off from now for a wait in the editor, and the agent tells you the exact time.

More ideas: "Wake me at 7:00 every weekday and call it Standup", "Make a friends alarm for Friday at 4:00pm called Release and add my friends [username] and [username]", or "List my alarms". The agent can set time, price, post, event, wallet, trader and anything alarms, change or delete them, and add friends once you confirm. See [Using LFG Alarm from your AI agent](https://lfg.gm/wiki/ai-agents).

## If it does not work

- **Zed never asks you to sign in.** Check the entry has only `url`, exactly `https://mcp.lfg.gm`, with no `headers`.
- **You would rather use a key.** In LFG Alarm, open **Settings** > **Connected AI apps** > **Make a key**, then add `"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer lfg_pat_..." }` to the entry. A key acts as you; keep it out of settings you share or commit.
- **Still stuck?** Write to us from the [support page](https://lfg.gm/support).

## Disconnect

Remove the `lfg-alarm` entry from Zed's MCP servers. Your alarms stay in your LFG Alarm account and keep ringing.

## Questions

### How does it ring?
A time alarm is a real alarm on iPhone and Android and rings through silent mode and Focus. An anything alarm rings full screen on Android; on iPhone it arrives as a time-sensitive alert with the alarm's sound, so keep the ringer on.

### Does LFG Alarm see my code?
No. LFG Alarm only receives what Zed sends when it uses LFG Alarm's tools.

## About LFG Alarm

LFG Alarm is a social alarm clock for iPhone, iPad and Android. It rings for times and for moments (a post on X, a stream going live, a token price, a wallet buying, an event starting), and one shared link makes every phone that joined ring together. Rocco, the cat inside the app, keeps watch and wakes you up.
