Common questions about connecting and running Ejfkdev Zread.
What is zread.ai and what can this MCP server do?
Zread.ai is a documentation platform that indexes GitHub repositories. This MCP server lets you read repository documentation, search code, and interact with repository-specific AI assistants directly from your AI chat interface.
How do I authenticate with the zread.ai MCP server?
Set the ZREAD_TOKEN environment variable with your API key before running the server. You can install it via npx zread-mcp@1.0.1 and it communicates over stdio.
Can I search across multiple repositories at once?
The registry metadata does not specify multi-repository search capabilities. Refer to the zread.ai documentation or your ZREAD_TOKEN setup to confirm supported scope and query limits.
What are the alternatives to zread.ai for code search and documentation?
Alternatives include GitHub's native code search, Sourcegraph for semantic code search, and dedicated documentation platforms like Mintlify or ReadTheDocs. Zread.ai differentiates by combining search with AI-powered repository chat.
Do I need a zread.ai account to use this MCP server?
Yes, you need a valid ZREAD_TOKEN API key, which requires a zread.ai account. The token is required to authenticate all requests to the platform.
