How it works
Three steps from the apps you already run to a directory any agent can search and call.
Publish your apps
Push entries over the API, import an existing catalog, or point us at your MCP servers. Each app gets a stable URN in your directory, at your own address.
PUT /api/v1/directories/acme/entries/{id}Rank, with trust you can see
Hybrid search ranks apps by what the agent needs. Verified publishers, signed attestations and readiness scores reorder results, and every boost is disclosed.
"hubs:ranking": { "relevance": 94, "boosts": { … } }Connect once
Agents add one MCP connector for the whole directory: search apps, list their tools, call them. Reads go straight through; anything that writes hands off to the app.
https://sport-venues.hubs.host/mcp
Made to be read by machines
Every directory speaks ARD, the open discovery spec, at well-known paths. Any agent that knows the spec finds your apps without a plugin, an SDK or a partnership.

}Agents can check who they’re dealing with
Verified publishers
A DNS record or a well-known file proves you own the domain an app runs on.
Signed attestations
Trust statements are signed with Ed25519 and checkable against the directory’s
/.well-known/jwks.json.Agent readiness
An independent grade of how well each app works with agents, shown next to every result.

See what agents ask for
Every search is recorded: what was asked, what ranked and what got picked. Questions with no good answer tell you which app to add next.
