Prerequisites

Zed installed (zed.dev)
A ClearMaas API key starting with sk-

Setup via Agent Panel (UI)

The simplest setup path:

Open Zed settings: Cmd+, (macOS) or Ctrl+, (Linux/Windows)
Navigate to AI > Providers
Find OpenAI API Compatible and expand it
Enter your API key in the input field and press Enter

API keys are stored in your OS’s secure credential storage, not as plain text.

Setup via settings file

For programmatic or repeatable configuration, edit settings.json directly:

Open the settings file: Cmd+Shift+P �?”Open Settings File (JSON)”
Add the language_models section:

{
  "language_models": {
    "openai": {
      "api_url": "https://api.clearmaas.com/v1",
      "available_models": [
        {
          "name": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6",
          "display_name": "Claude Sonnet 4.6",
          "max_tokens": 200000
        },
        {
          "name": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
          "display_name": "GPT-4o Mini",
          "max_tokens": 128000
        },
        {
          "name": "deepseek/deepseek-chat",
          "display_name": "DeepSeek Chat",
          "max_tokens": 64000
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Then add your API key via the Agent Panel UI (agent: open settings), or set it as a header in settings:

{
  "language_models": {
    "openai": {
      "api_url": "https://api.clearmaas.com/v1",
      "api_key": "sk-...",
      "available_models": [
        {
          "name": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6",
          "display_name": "Claude Sonnet 4.6",
          "max_tokens": 200000
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Selecting a provider and model

After adding the provider:

Open the Agent Panel: Cmd+Shift+A
Click the model selector dropdown
Choose OpenAI API Compatible as the provider
Select your desired model from the list

To set a default provider, add to settings.json:

{
  "assistant": {
    "default_model": {
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6"
    }
  }
}
