How to: Zed PDF/UA accessibility check (veraPDF) with measured auto-fix check_pdf_accessibility

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:check_pdf_accessibility

Add PDF/UA accessibility check (veraPDF) with measured auto-fix to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "pdfua-check": {
      "url": "https://pdfua-check.onrender.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that PDF/UA accessibility check (veraPDF) with measured auto-fix'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 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.
