Zed crosscheck skillcheck_lookup

How to: Zed crosscheck skillcheck_lookup

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:skillcheck_lookup

Add crosscheck to Zed

  1. 01

    Open ~/.config/zed/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "context_servers": {
    "crosscheck": {
      "url": "https://crosscheckapi.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

    Ask for something skillcheck_lookup does. Zed lists the server's tools on connect and calls skillcheck_lookup itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that crosscheck's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Merge this into your existing settings object — do not replace the file. Zed docs

Set these first

crosscheck will not start until these are set, so skillcheck_lookup never becomes available.

  • CROSSCHECK_WALLET_KEY
  • CROSSCHECK_MAX_USD
  • CROSSCHECK_NETWORKS

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 25 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
