What are the prerequisites for using PDF Search for Zed?
You need an OpenAI API key to generate embeddings and `uv` installed on your system. The extension also requires cloning the repository and manually building the search index.

PDF Search for Zed is a document search extension for the Zed editor that enables semantic search through PDF documents. It integrates with Zed’s AI Assistant, allowing users to query PDF content and add relevant sections directly to the assistant’s context. The extension is built on a Python-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and currently requires an OpenAI API key for generating embeddings and uv for managing the Python environment.
Clone the repository, set up the Python virtual environment with uv venv and uv sync, then build the search database by running uv run src/pdf_rag/rag.py build "file1.pdf" "dir1" .... Configure Zed’s context_servers in its settings to point to the extension path. In Zed’s AI Assistant panel, type /pdfsearch <query> to search and add results to the assistant’s context.
You need an OpenAI API key to generate embeddings and `uv` installed on your system. The extension also requires cloning the repository and manually building the search index.
Run `uv run src/pdf_rag/rag.py build` with one or more PDF files or directories as arguments. Indexing may take a few minutes depending on document size.
Yes. You can provide multiple file paths and directories as arguments when building the index. The extension will search across all indexed documents.
No, it currently requires an internet connection and an OpenAI API key because embeddings are generated via OpenAI’s API. Future versions plan to support self-contained embeddings.
Yes, the vector store is self-contained and has already been implemented. However, manual index building is still required before first use.
