Connect Apollo.io to Zed
Give Zed governed access to Apollo.io’s 99 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Apollo.io to Zed in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Zed then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Add Apollo.io to Runlayer
Apollo.io isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.
Adding a connector manually - 2
Connect Zed to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Zed by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Zed reaches Apollo.io’s 99 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Sign in to Apollo.io
Sign in the way Apollo.io requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Zed
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Zed exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Apollo.io call from Zed passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, Zed as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Zed yet, so control happens at the gateway.
