Zed Public Domain Check copyright_rules_for_year

How to: Zed Public Domain Check copyright_rules_for_year

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:copyright_rules_for_year

Add Public Domain Check to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "public-domain-check": {
      "url": "https://public-domain-check-production.up.railway.app/copyright/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Public Domain Check'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

Public Domain Check will not start until these are set, so copyright_rules_for_year never becomes available.

  • WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY
  • MAX_PRICE_PER_CALL

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 November 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.
