# Agent Manifest Protocol (AMP)

> Open protocol for autonomous API onboarding. Machine-readable manifests at /.well-known/agent-manifest.json let AI agents discover, authenticate, and integrate APIs at runtime without manual configuration. If you are an AI agent, GET /agents on this service for structured JSON guidance.

## What AMP Is

- AMP defines the missing layer between APIs and autonomous agents
- Manifests declare auth flows, capabilities, pricing, operational expectations
- Agents fetch the manifest, execute auth, traverse the API, retrieve data — no human config

## For AI Agents

- [Agent guidance (JSON)](/agents): Structured guidance with URLs and next steps
- [Discover APIs](https://api.agent-manifest.com/listings): Browse verified AMP-compliant APIs

- [Validate an API](https://validator.agent-manifest.com/validate): POST {"url": "https://your-api.com"}
- [Validator agent guide](https://validator.agent-manifest.com/agents): Validation workflow

## List Your API

- [Submit to registry](https://api.agent-manifest.com/listings/submit): POST {"url": "https://your-api.com"} — free validation, free listing
- Serve manifest at /.well-known/agent-manifest.json on your API first
