MCP Server for Directory

GitHub Release (latest by date) CI Coverage License OpenSSF Scorecard

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for working with OASF agent records in the AGNTCY Agent Directory.

The server runs via the dirctl CLI and connects AI assistants and IDEs to Directory infrastructure. Use it to validate and publish agent metadata, search and discover records, navigate OASF skill and domain taxonomies, and generate records from a codebase.

Capabilities:

  • Work with OASF schemas and validate agent records
  • Search, push, and pull records from Directory servers
  • Verify record signatures and domain name ownership
  • Import from and export to MCP, A2A, Agent Skills, and GitHub Copilot formats
  • Run guided workflows via MCP prompts (create, validate, search, and more)

See docs/directory-mcp.md for full documentation — tools, prompts, setup, configuration, and usage.
