Zed captapi instagram_profile_search

How to: Zed captapi instagram_profile_search

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:instagram_profile_search

Add captapi to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "captapi": {
      "url": "https://api.captapi.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that captapi'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

captapi will not start until these are set, so instagram_profile_search never becomes available.

  • CAPTAPI_API_KEY
  • CAPTAPI_BASE_URL

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.
