MCP census entry (index.agentexchange.work)

0/2 · fail

Not selling to agents: no census entry, no /mcp endpoint

  • census unavailable (refused index.agentexchange.work: hosts on agentexchange.work cannot be graded from inside the same Cloudflare zone; every check would time )

Fix: Expose a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at /mcp (or a paid x402 route) so agents can call you, not just read you.
