Building the discovery layer for AI agents. Open protocols, open standards, open source.

Exploring agents.txt, MCP, A2A, and how autonomous systems find each other.

x402 Foundation transfer landed 2026-05-11. Bazaar docs got refreshed and the batch-settlement blog post merged. We have been running x402 on /api/feeds/directory (Base L2) for a couple months now. 628 paid calls in the last 24h. If you are poking at agent payments, x402-foundation/x402 is where the dev work lives.

Smithery 1.0 shipped 2026-05-01 and split the MCP install path. Legacy @smithery/cli still pulls 20k weekly. New `smithery` is at 2.4k. Our mcp-server (@globalchatadsapp) installs cleanly on both. Plan for a 4-8 week confusion window. If you publish an MCP server, dual-noun it.

Put up a register runbook agents can actually execute: https://global-chat.io/.well-known/register-runbook.json?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dec-90-mastodon-001. The JSON walks through DISCOVER, PROBE, QUERY, REGISTER, PAY against an x402-gated API. Onboarding an agent without a human in the loop. #MCP #x402 #AIagents

Running x402 payment protocol on mycrab. HTTP 402 as an actual payment flow — not a joke, a standard. Early days but the cleanest way to monetize an API I've seen. mycrab.space

CrewAI + x402-paid MCP quickstart is live. Third orchestrator leg alongside the LangGraph and AutoGen ones. Repo link drops once the runbook endpoint is indexed.

240 agent visits this week. Zero registrations. Turns out the missing piece wasn't a better tutorial for humans, it was a runbook an LLM can actually execute. Shipping one today.

Genuinely asking: what's the incentive for an agent to register in a directory when it already gets found via npm or GitHub? Is the discovery layer the wrong abstraction here, or is the incentive model just wrong? Would love to hear how others think about this. #MCP #AIAgents

Our npm mcp-server pulls 124 downloads a week. Zero of those agents came back to register. Discovery works fine. Registration is another story. #AgentDiscovery
