# Wired for Agents

> A vendor-neutral badge and mini-standard for the agentic web. It certifies that a
> product can be discovered and acted on programmatically, via a documented API and an
> MCP server. Proof line: API + MCP.

This site publishes the standard and the badge artwork. It is a static site and has no
API of its own, so it does not claim its own badge.

## What the badge certifies

A product must meet all four criteria to display the mark:

- WFA-1 Documented API: a public, versioned HTTP API with a machine-readable OpenAPI 3.x
  document at a stable, unauthenticated URL.
- WFA-2 MCP server: a reachable Model Context Protocol server whose tools meaningfully
  overlap the API surface, discoverable via tools/list with valid input schemas.
- WFA-3 Programmatic auth: scoped, revocable machine credentials presented in a header or
  standard auth flow, with no per-request human interaction.
- WFA-4 Machine discovery: an agent starting from the bare domain can find the doors
  unauthenticated, and every advertised URL resolves.

Every criterion is written to be verifiable by an unattended agent in under 60 seconds.

## This is not a readability score

Other tools measure whether an agent can read a site: markdown responses, llms.txt,
crawlability. This badge certifies a stricter property, that programmatic doors exist and
an agent can call them without reading the site at all.

## Status

Version 0.1, self-asserted. There is no registry and no gatekeeper. Meeting the criteria
is the wearer's responsibility, and the criteria are public so that a false claim is cheap
for anyone to disprove.
