Connect Follow Up Boss to Zed.

Ace AI is the FUB-native real-estate copilot. Zed reads MCP servers from the context_servers key in ~/.config/zed/settings.json. One block, 189 Follow Up Boss tools — search contacts, draft messages, run Zillow workflows, score leads with BANT+M.

Before you start: The MCP connector requires an Ace Pro seat ($55/mo). Sign up free first. Then, if your team pays for your seat, ask your admin to move you to Ace Pro from the Seats page; if you pay for your own seat, upgrade it yourself. Each agent also connects their own Follow Up Boss login in Ace once, so the connector only sees what Follow Up Boss lets you see.

  1. Open Zed settings.

    In Zed, hit Cmd+, (macOS) or Ctrl+, (Linux) — that opens ~/.config/zed/settings.json.

  2. Add followupace to context_servers.

    {
  "context_servers": {
    "followupace": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://followupace.com/mcp"]
      }
    }
  }
}

  3. Reload Zed and sign in.

    Open the Zed Assistant panel and call any Ace tool. Sign in with the email on your Ace Pro seat (normally the work email you use in Follow Up Boss) and paste the 6-digit code mailed to that inbox.

  4. Connect your own Follow Up Boss login (one time).

    Open Ace inside Follow Up Boss (or, in the Ace workspace, Settings → Integrations) and click Connect as yourself, authorizing with your own Follow Up Boss login. The connector answers through it, so it only sees the contacts Follow Up Boss lets you see. Until you do, your first CRM request will ask you to connect.

Why this matters for realtors

Zed is fast — multiplayer-fast. If your team's tech operator is already pairing in Zed, having Follow Up Boss accessible from the Assistant panel means the same window that's editing your IDX site can pull a live pipeline view or fire a compliance-checked Zillow first-touch.
