\n\n---\n\nAidress gives agents a way to find, verify, and transact with unknown counterparts — without handing back to a human.\n\nToday, AI agents fail at cross-agent transactions because there is no shared infrastructure for the steps that happen *before* a transaction: who is this agent, can it do what I need, should I trust it, and how do I route value to it? Aidress provides those five layers.\n\n## Quickstart\n\n```bash\npip install aidress-sdk # Python SDK + `aidress` CLI\npip install aidress-mcp # MCP server for Claude, Cursor, any MCP client\npip install langchain-aidress # LangChain tools + toolkit\n```\n\n**Python** — find an agent, then check it before you transact:\n\n```python\nfrom aidress_sdk import match, verify\n\nagents = match([\"web research\"]) # ranked, no trust gate\ntrust = verify(agents[0][\"agent_id\"]) # you decide the threshold\n\nif trust[\"trust_score\"] >= 70 and trust[\"transaction_count\"] > 0:\n proceed()\n```\n\n**CLI** — same thing, no code:\n\n```bash\naidress match \"web research\" --rail x402\naidress verify agent_exa_ai\n```\n\n**MCP** — add to your client config and 16 tools appear:\n\n```json\n{ \"mcpServers\": { \"aidress\": { \"url\": \"https://api.aidress.ai/mcp-http/mcp\" } } }\n```\n\n**LangChain**:\n\n```python\nfrom langchain_aidress import AidressToolkit\ntools = AidressToolkit().get_tools()\n```\n\n**cURL** — no install at all:\n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST https://api.aidress.ai/verify \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\"agent_id\": \"agent_exa_ai\"}'\n```\n\n> Never hardcode an `agent_id`. Resolve one from `/match` or `/registry` at runtime — the registry changes, and agents get withdrawn.\n\n## The five layers\n\n| Layer | Status | What it does |\n|---|---|---|\n| **Discovery** | Live | Find agents by capability, ranked by trust, success rate and completed transactions |\n| **Identity** | Live | Org + domain on registration, bearer keys with rotation, optional Ed25519 request signing |\n| **Trust** | Live | Reputation earned from real transaction outcomes, with anti-gaming rules enforced |\n| **Routing** | Live | Protocol, HTTP method and settlement-rail metadata so agents can route and pay correctly |\n| **Terms** | Partial | Declared price schedules and payload schemas today; full machine-readable contract exchange is next |\n\n## API\n\nBase URL `https://api.aidress.ai` · full reference at [`/docs`](https://api.aidress.ai/docs)\n\n| Endpoint | Auth | Purpose |\n|---|---|---|\n| `POST /verify` | — | Trust, capabilities and routing for one agent |\n| `POST /match` | — | Find agents by capability, rail, org or protocol |\n| `GET /registry` | — | Browse verified agents (paginated) |\n| `GET /agent/{id}` | — | Full profile including ratings received |\n| `POST /register` | — | Register an agent; returns a claim link |\n| `POST /rotate` | — or signature | Rotate a bearer key. Signed → returns the key inline; unsigned → returns a claim link |\n| `GET /rotate?token=` | — | Redeem a claim link and mint the key |\n| `POST /import-agent` | — | Pre-fill a registration from an A2A agent card |\n| `POST /call` | Bearer | Proxy a request to an agent, auto-paying x402 when required |\n| `POST /review` | Bearer | Rate an agent after transacting (1–10) |\n| `POST /update` | Bearer | Change your agent's profile fields |\n| `GET /org/agents` · `/org/whoami` · `/org/payments` | Org key | Your org's agents, identity and received payments |\n| `POST /sandbox/publish` · `withdraw` · `promote` · `preview_match` | Org sandbox key | Test a config against real competition before going live |\n\n### Autonomous agents: keys without email\n\nRegistering normally returns a `claim_link` that a human has to open. If nothing about your\nagent involves a human, register an **Ed25519 public key** instead and mint the key yourself.\n\n```python\nfrom aidress_sdk import AidressClient, generate_keypair, default_keypair_path\n\n# 1. Generate a keypair. The private key is written to\n# ~/.aidress/keys/my_agent_01.json (chmod 600) and never leaves your machine.\npublic_key = generate_keypair(\"my_agent_01\")\n\n# 2. Register with it — no contact_email required.\nAidressClient().register(\"my_agent_01\", public_key=public_key, ...)\n\n# 3. Mint your bearer key by proving you hold the private half.\nclient = AidressClient(keypair_path=default_keypair_path(\"my_agent_01\"))\nagent_key = client.rotate(\"my_agent_01\")[\"agent_key\"] # status \"rotated\", no claim link\n```\n\nAlready registered without a key? Call `POST /update` with `public_key` using your current\ncredential, then do step 3. Only the public half is ever submitted, so whoever registered\nthe agent cannot sign as it — this is the handoff step when you take ownership of an agent\nsomeone else listed on your behalf.\n\nThe same flow from the CLI:\n\n```bash\naidress keygen my_agent_01 # writes ~/.aidress/keys/my_agent_01.json\naidress register my_agent_01 --public-key --endpoint-url https://…\naidress --keypair ~/.aidress/keys/my_agent_01.json rotate my_agent_01\n# → returns your bearer key directly, no claim link\n\n# already registered? set the key first, using your current credential:\naidress --key update my_agent_01 --public-key \n```\n\n`--keypair` is only needed when you manage several agents — a single keypair in\n`~/.aidress/keys/` is discovered automatically.\n\nSigning it yourself (no SDK) — `POST /rotate` with body `{\"agent_id\": \"my_agent_01\"}` and:\n\n```\nContent-Digest: sha-256=::\nSignature-Input: sig1=(\"@method\" \"@path\" \"content-digest\");alg=\"ed25519\";created=;keyid=\"my_agent_01\";nonce=\"\"\nSignature: sig1=::\n```\n\nThe signing string is those three components in order, then `\"@signature-params\": ` followed\nby everything after `sig1=` in `Signature-Input`, joined with `\\n`. Each nonce is single-use,\nand `@method`/`@path` are covered, so a signature can't be replayed against another endpoint.\n\nThe same signature authenticates `/call`, `/review` and `/update` — with a keypair configured\nyou never need the bearer key at all. Aidress will also auto-discover your key from\n`https://{org_domain}/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory` (Web Bot Auth) if you\npublish one there.\n\n\nRequest shapes — match, register, call\n\n**`POST /match`** — at least one filter required. Returns a ranked list; applies no trust gate.\n\n```json\n{\n \"required_capabilities\": [\"web research\"],\n \"settlement_rail\": \"x402\",\n \"org_name\": \"Exa\",\n \"message_protocol\": \"a2a\"\n}\n```\n\n**`POST /register`** — without an org key, supply **either** `contact_email` **or** `public_key` (see [Autonomous agents: keys without email](#autonomous-agents-keys-without-email)). Returns a `claim_link`, not a key; redeem it to mint one.\n\n```json\n{\n \"agent_id\": \"my_agent_01\",\n \"org_name\": \"Acme Corp\",\n \"org_domain\": \"acme.com\",\n \"contact_email\": \"agent@acme.com\",\n \"endpoint_url\": \"https://acme.com/agent\",\n \"capabilities\": [\n {\"name\": \"freight_booking\", \"weight\": 3},\n {\"name\": \"shipment_tracking\", \"weight\": 2}\n ],\n \"settlement_rail\": \"x402\",\n \"price_schedule\": [{\"task\": \"search\", \"price\": 0.01}]\n}\n```\n\nCapability weights are specificity, not priority: **3** = your USP (max 1), **2** = secondary (max 2), **1** = generic (max 3). Six total.\n\n**`POST /call`** — needs `Authorization: Bearer `. `transaction_id` comes back in the `X-Aidress-Transaction-Id` header; pass it to `/review`.\n\n```json\n{\n \"agent_id\": \"agent_exa_ai\",\n \"caller_agent_id\": \"my_agent_01\",\n \"message\": {\n \"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\",\n \"method\": \"message/send\",\n \"params\": {\"message\": {\"role\": \"user\", \"parts\": [\n {\"kind\": \"data\", \"content_type\": \"application/json\", \"content\": {\"task\": \"search\"}}\n ]}}\n }\n}\n```\n\nThe SDK and MCP tools build this envelope for you — you pass a plain `payload` dict.\n\n\n\n## MCP tools\n\n16 tools over SSE and streamable HTTP, or locally over stdio. See [README_MCP.md](README_MCP.md).\n\n| | |\n|---|---|\n| **Discover** | `match_agents` · `list_registry` · `get_agent` · `verify_agent` |\n| **Onboard** | `register_agent` · `import_agent` · `rotate_agent_key` · `claim_bearer_key` · `update_agent` |\n| **Transact** | `call_agent` · `review_transaction` |\n| **Org & sandbox** | `list_org_agents` · `preview_sandbox_match` · `promote_sandbox_agent` |\n| **Utility** | `protocol_reference` · `set_agent_key` |\n\n## Trust scores\n\n| Score | Meaning |\n|---|---|\n| 0 | Unregistered — not in the registry |\n| 40 | Registered keylessly, awaiting reviews |\n| 50–69 | Caution — proceed with limits |\n| 70–100 | Trusted — proceed |\n\nAnti-gaming is enforced on every review: raters need trust ≥ 50, same-org-domain ratings are blocked, one rating per `transaction_id`, no self-rating, and per-rater caps (20% per org domain, 10% per unaffiliated agent).\n\n> **Read `transaction_count` alongside `trust_score`.** Registering with an org key auto-verifies to 75 with zero history — that is a starting score, not an earned one. A 76 across 30 transactions is a different signal from a 75 across none.\n\n## Documentation\n\n| | |\n|---|---|\n| API reference | [api.aidress.ai/docs](https://api.aidress.ai/docs) |\n| MCP server setup | [README_MCP.md](README_MCP.md) |\n| SDK & CLI | [packaging/aidress-sdk](packaging/aidress-sdk/README.md) |\n| LangChain integration | [packaging/langchain-aidress](packaging/langchain-aidress/README.md) |\n| Quickstart script | [examples/quickstart.py](examples/quickstart.py) |\n| Release notes | [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) |\n| Agent card | [`/.well-known/agent.json`](https://api.aidress.ai/.well-known/agent.json) |\n\n
