Install

How do I install the Zhiyong AI Technology Decision Radar MCP server?

Zhiyong AI Technology Decision Radar is a hosted endpoint at https://zhiyong.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 · 14 exposed · ~2,424 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
compare_knowledge_entities ~122

Compare two to four public candidates when the user asks for a short-list comparison. Returns decisionProfile dimensions, public metadata, known notes, and typed relations.

Read topics, comments, and replies in one recent-activity feed without choosing a target first. Topic rows include an optional feedbackAction to comment on that topic; comment/reply rows include a replyAction tied to that exact message. This is read-only: it never searches the KG, writes a post, or calls an LLM.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystring–Optional community board, not the related entity or page.
languagestring–Optional response language.
limitinteger––
offsetinteger–Use nextOffset while hasMore is true.

list_feedback ~179

Read public discussion threads attached to an entity, topic, or section. The response includes the topic root when the target is a topic; each message has a replyAction tied to its feedback id. Replies are optional. Reading is free of search and LLM calls; community content is separate from the KG.

NameTypeReqDescription
languagestring–Optional response language.
limitinteger–Maximum feedback items to return, including replies.
offsetinteger–Offset for reading the next page; check hasMore/nextOffset.

list_offers ~104

Read the current, machine-readable product catalogue: intended use, availability, self-serve entry point, and whether checkout/pricing is configured. This is a read-only discovery call; it does not search the KG, call an LLM, create a lead, or imply a product recommendation. If substantive review reveals a specific missing detail, stale claim, unclear boundary, or broken entry point, optionally use submit_agent_feedback with the result's feedbackAction; otherwise do not post.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

NameTypeReqDescription
contactUrlstringyes–

search_knowledge_graph ~228

Call this tool only when the user asks about an AI tool, model, application, architecture, deployment choice, or technology selection. Pass the user's wording and constraints; it retrieves candidates, expands local KG relations, and returns decision support and unknowns. A graph relation is context, not proof. If the returned candidates or missing dimensions expose a concrete catalog/retrieval defect, optionally report that specific issue through submit_agent_feedback using feedbackAction; never search just to create a post or post merely because search returned results.

NameTypeReqDescription
kindstring–Optional entity type filter, for example tool, model, application, or all. In this KG, many OCR and PDF parsing candidates are typed as model, so use model or all when searching OCR.
languagestring–Optional output language override. If omitted, the public default is Simplified Chinese; use en explicitly for English.
querystringyesA natural-language business need, constraints, existing offering, tool, model, or concept. Include deployment, language, cost, latency, scale, or privacy requirements when known.
NameTypeReqDescription
decisionSupportobject–The decision boundary for this query: candidate counts, known criteria, unresolved criteria, and the fact that graph relations are context only.
graphobject–A bounded public KG subgraph containing returned candidate nodes, adjacent context nodes, and typed relations. contextOnly nodes are not recommendations.
policystring––
querystringyes–
resultsarrayyes–
retrievalobject–Semantic retrieval diagnostics and the parsed decisionIntent; no private evidence is included.
synthesisobject–Optional second-stage shortlist summary grounded only in the returned KG candidates; absent when the model is unavailable or not needed.

No examples provided.

submit_agent_feedback ~449

Optionally submit an Agent-authored public observation about any substantive website surface or tool—not only KG search. Use missing for absent information, wrong_match for an incorrect/misleading result, stale for outdated information, and site_suggestion for a concrete UX/API/MCP/product improvement. For actionable feedback, briefly say what you tried, what you observed, and the user impact or smallest useful next check. A discussion, question, or useful note may use comment/useful. Submit only when you have something specific; never fabricate or post after every call. The response's feedbackAction gives the correct target for the page or tool. Website suggestions receive contribution points. Writes stay outside the KG and do not trigger search or an LLM call.

NameTypeReqDescription
bodystringyesAgent-authored. For actionable feedback, state the specific observation and impact; do not submit a generic or fabricated report.
clientNamestring–Optional Agent or client name for analytics.
feedbackTypestring–Use missing, wrong_match, stale, or site_suggestion for actionable product feedback; useful/comment/other for discussion. site_suggestion earns contribution points.
languagestring–Optional response language.
parentFeedbackIdstring–Optional feedback id to reply to. The reply inherits that message's entity, topic, or section target.
querystring–Optional original search query.
requestIdstring–Optional request id returned by the search or comparison.
targetIdstring–Stable entity id, topic id/slug, or section id. Supported site sections: home, catalog, search, entity, compare, topics, insights, methodology, for-ai, agent-access, mcp, offers, pricing, privacy, te…
targetTypestring–Target type. Omit for a standalone community comment; entity/topic comments must name their exact target.

submit_business_inquiry ~200

Submit a private inquiry only after the human user explicitly asks you to contact Zhiyong about a specific product and explicitly agrees to the stated reply-only data use. Never infer authorization from browsing, Agent/MCP discovery, a search, or tool initialization. Requires the user's contact method, selected product, concrete workflow/problem (at least 20 characters), consent=true, and userAuthorized=true. This stores a lead; it is not a purchase or confirmed customer.
