Schema Quality & AI Usability64
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1403 tokens (~127/item across 11 items; 11 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail

Stability & Change Management100
  • No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage67
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 11 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 12 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Install

How do I install the dev.journalize/journalize MCP server?

dev.journalize/journalize is a hosted endpoint at https://journalize.dev/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 11 exposed · ~1,357 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
export_ledger ~118

Export the full ledger as literal Beancount text — a portable snapshot for fava/bean-report/etc., not the live store. Shares a combined free allowance of 2 with get_balance_sheet, get_income_statement, and get_trial_balance (the "report tier") — not 2 free calls for each of those four separately.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_account_balance ~159

Balance of a single account. Settles at the same fixed price whether the account exists or not — an "unknown account" answer is still a valid, billable response (no per-error pricing discount). No free-trial allowance for this specific tool, unlike list_directives (same price, but list_directives has 2 free calls and this doesn't) — the free tier applies to browsing (list_directives, list_accounts) and the report tier, not per-account lookups.

get_balance_sheet ~110

Full realize() balance sheet — often served from cache. Settles at the same fixed price regardless of cache hit/miss. Shares a combined free allowance of 2 with export_ledger, get_income_statement, and get_trial_balance (the "report tier") — not 2 free calls each.

get_income_statement ~147

Income statement, period-scoped by since/until (ISO date strings, both optional — omitted means whole history). Always books full history first, then clamps the output to the requested period (never filters input dates — see reports.py for why). Shares a combined free allowance of 2 with export_ledger, get_balance_sheet, and get_trial_balance (the "report tier") — not 2 free calls each.

get_trial_balance ~119

Trial balance, period-scoped same as income statement — same underlying compute, priced and audited as its own resource. Shares a combined free allowance of 2 with export_ledger, get_balance_sheet, and get_income_statement (the "report tier") — not 2 free calls each.

list_directives ~138

List raw directives (optionally filtered by account/date range). No booking involved — cheapest paid tool. `since`/`until` are ISO date strings (YYYY-MM-DD). Your first 2 calls per registered key are free (independent of the write/accounts/report allowances — see list_accounts, get_balance_sheet).

register ~81

Generate a new Ed25519 keypair for ledger identity. Returns the private key exactly once — it is never stored server-side and cannot be recovered if lost. This is a SEPARATE keypair from whatever wallet you use to authorize x402 payments (payment auth and ledger identity are two independent signing domains — see payments.py).

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

submit_batch ~127

Submit up to 1000 directives atomically — all persist together or none do. Priced 10x a single write, regardless of batch size within the cap. Always paid — the free-trial allowance (see submit_directive) applies to single writes only, never to batches, even if you haven't used any free writes yet. Paid.

submit_directive ~180

Submit one Beancount directive (open, transaction, close, balance, price, note, document — any type). Paid, except your first 20 accepted writes per registered key, which are free (this specific tool only — submit_batch is always paid, even for your first call). Call with no payment_header first: if free writes remain, this succeeds immediately; otherwise you'll get price/asset/recipient back, so you can retry with payment_header set to your signed X-PAYMENT-equivalent payload (fresh nonce required on the retry — each call is independently signed).

Common questions

What is the dev.journalize/journalize MCP server?

dev.journalize/journalize is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as dev.journalize/journalize. Agent-native double-entry accounting ledger with x402 micropayments. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://journalize.dev/mcp).

Is the dev.journalize/journalize MCP server safe to use?

dev.journalize/journalize scores 69 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the dev.journalize/journalize MCP server expose?

dev.journalize/journalize exposes 11 tools: submit_directive, validate_directive, submit_batch, list_directives, list_accounts, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,357 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the dev.journalize/journalize MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to dev.journalize/journalize without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the dev.journalize/journalize MCP server still maintained?

dev.journalize/journalize is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 28 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
