Zed Web Evidence verify_claim_research

How to: Zed Web Evidence verify_claim_research

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:verify_claim_research

Add Web Evidence to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "web-evidence": {
      "url": "https://api.aisoup.net/web-evidence/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Web Evidence'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 7 October 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.
