JiZhiMCP: An Agent-First MCP Gateway with a Cross-Agent Settlement Ledger (Hands-On)

I've been testing JiZhiMCP (https://xn--5kvtwv52d.com) for a few days — a remote MCP gateway that bundles 21 everyday tools and, more interestingly, ships a cross-agent settlement ledger for the machine economy. Here's my hands-on.

What it is

JiZhiMCP is a hosted MCP server you reach over Streamable HTTP. One endpoint, 21 tools:

  • weather_query, exchange_rate, unit_convert — everyday utilities
  • github_search, stackoverflow_search, hacker_news_search — developer research
  • dns_lookup, ip_info, world_time, holiday_cn — infra and time helpers
  • web_fetch, todo_manage — workflow tools

Quick setup

The public tools need no API key. Add this to your MCP client config:

"jizhineng": {
"url": "https://mcp.xn--5kvtwv52d.com/mcp"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode




The interesting part: the settlement ledger

Most MCP gateways stop at tools. JiZhiMCP goes further with a settlement.* tool family — a hash-chained, tamper-evident ledger where autonomous agents hold balances and settle between each other with atomic credit/debit and idempotency keys. That's the machine-economy piece: agents paying agents with an auditable trail, no human in the loop.

What I liked

  • Zero-friction onboarding — public tools work with no API key
  • Clean tool naming — each tool does one clear thing
  • The settlement ledger is genuinely differentiated

What could be better

  • The punycode domain is awkward to type; a clean ASCII domain would help
  • Docs could use more English-first examples

Bottom line

If you're wiring up agents that need everyday tools AND a way to settle between each other, JiZhiMCP is worth a look. Live at https://xn--5kvtwv52d.com, source on GitHub: https://github.com/alanwang100/jizhineng-mcp
