Agent Discovery

Agent Discovery lets you publish agents to a public directory so other developers, agents, and platforms can find and connect to them. Each agent gets a card — a structured profile with capabilities, tags, and protocol URLs.

Overview

Feature	Description
Agent Card	Public JSON profile at GET /v1/agents/{id}/card
Directory	Searchable, filterable listing at GET /v1/agents/directory
A2A URL	Agent-to-Agent protocol endpoint (Google A2A)
MCP URL	Model Context Protocol server URL
Tags	Categorize agents for filtered search
Marketplace	Platform apps listed with categories and screenshots

Enable discoverability

By default, agents are private. To publish an agent to the directory:

curl

curl -X PATCH "https://api.1claw.co/v1/agents/$AGENT_ID/discovery" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "discoverable": true,
    "public_description": "A DeFi research agent that analyzes token metrics and on-chain data.",
    "public_tags": ["defi", "research", "analytics"],
    "a2a_url": "https://my-agent.run.1claw.co/a2a",
    "mcp_url": "https://my-agent.run.1claw.co/mcp"
  }'

TypeScript

await client.discovery.updateDiscovery(agentId, {
  discoverable: true,
  public_description: "A DeFi research agent that analyzes token metrics.",
  public_tags: ["defi", "research", "analytics"],
  a2a_url: "https://my-agent.run.1claw.co/a2a",
  mcp_url: "https://my-agent.run.1claw.co/mcp",
});

CLI

1claw directory update <agent-id> \
  --discoverable \
  --description "A DeFi research agent" \
  --tags defi,research,analytics \
  --a2a-url "https://my-agent.run.1claw.co/a2a" \
  --mcp-url "https://my-agent.run.1claw.co/mcp"

Only human users can update discovery settings — agents cannot make themselves discoverable.

Agent card

Every discoverable agent has a public card (no authentication required):

curl "https://api.1claw.co/v1/agents/$AGENT_ID/card"

{
  "id": "550e8400-...",
  "name": "DeFi Researcher",
  "description": "Analyzes token metrics and on-chain data.",
  "tags": ["defi", "research", "analytics"],
  "a2a_url": "https://my-agent.run.1claw.co/a2a",
  "mcp_url": "https://my-agent.run.1claw.co/mcp",
  "capabilities": ["secrets", "signing", "memory"]
}

Directory search

The directory is public and supports full-text search and tag filtering:

curl

# Search by query
curl "https://api.1claw.co/v1/agents/directory?q=defi&tags=research"

# Paginated listing
curl "https://api.1claw.co/v1/agents/directory?limit=20&offset=0"

TypeScript

const { data } = await client.discovery.directory({
  q: "defi",
  tags: ["research"],
  limit: 20,
});
data.agents.forEach((a) => console.log(a.name, a.tags));

CLI

1claw directory search --query "defi" --tags research
1claw directory card <agent-id>

Platform marketplace

Platform apps can also be listed in the marketplace with additional metadata:

curl "https://api.1claw.co/v1/platform/marketplace"

Each listing includes category, listing_tags, pricing_summary, and optional screenshots.
