Zed nslookup my_dns_changes

How to: Zed nslookup my_dns_changes

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:my_dns_changes

Add nslookup to Zed

  1. 01

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

{
  "context_servers": {
    "nslookup": {
      "url": "https://mcp.nslookup.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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