Zed Crank Protocol get_source_weights

How to: Zed Crank Protocol get_source_weights

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:get_source_weights

Add Crank Protocol to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "crank": {
      "url": "https://mcp.crank.ing/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

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

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 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.
