Agent discovery

Everything an agent needs to find, understand and call this service is published as a real file or endpoint.

URL Format Purpose
/.well-known/x402 JSON x402 and bazaar discovery: resources, prices, accepted networks, payTo, input and output schemas with examples, preview routes, status
/openapi.json OpenAPI 3.1 Every route including previews and /mcp, with x-payment-info
/mcp MCP Streamable HTTP Tool server, see MCP
/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json JSON (SEP-1649) Server info, transport endpoint, capabilities, tool list. Alias at /.well-known/mcp.json
/.well-known/agent-card.json JSON (A2A) Agent card with one skill per tool. Alias at /.well-known/agent.json
/.well-known/api-catalog application/linkset+json (RFC 9727) Catalog linking the OpenAPI document, MCP endpoint, docs and llms.txt
/llms.txt text Short index for language models
/llms-full.txt text Full documentation inlined
/docs/*.md markdown Raw markdown twin of every docs page
/robots.txt text Crawl policy with Content-Signal and explicit AI bot allowances
/sitemap.xml XML All pages

The landing page also sends Link headers: rel="service-desc" for the OpenAPI document, rel="api-catalog", rel="mcp-server", rel="service-doc" for the docs and rel="describedby" for llms.txt.

x402 bazaar discovery#

/.well-known/x402 follows the convention x402 crawlers read: version plus absolute resources, and the richer x402Version 2 body with endpoints. Each endpoint carries accepts (empty until the operator sets a payout address), a bazaar entry in extensions with the input example, input schema, output example and output schema, plus the free preview route. The 402 responses embed the same bazaar extension so a facilitator can catalog the resource after the first settled payment.

Status field#

status is accepting_payments or payments_not_configured. A crawler or agent should treat the second as "free tier only for now" and not as an outage.

Crawl policy#

robots.txt allows the open web, disallows /api/ for generic crawlers, and explicitly allows GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, OAI-SearchBot, Google-Extended and PerplexityBot, with Content-Signal: search=yes, ai-input=yes, ai-train=no.
