  "$schema_note": "Curated registry of agentic + Bitcoin-payable services an autonomous agent can consume. provenance \"curated\" = maintained by the editors and verified against primary sources on last_verified; live Nostr-announced inventory (Routstr providers, NIP-87 mints) is served separately at /live/snapshot.json (providers carry probe status: alive | unreachable | unverified-tor-only | unroutable, plus network: clearnet | tor | both | unroutable) and the cross-provider inference price index at /live/models.json — both with committed static fallbacks at /snapshot.json and /models.json. Per-entry machine fields where verified: auth (how the credential works), api_base, pricing_url, quickstart (the first call, one line), and mcp_endpoint where the provider runs its own MCP server (connect there to act). An MCP server at /mcp exposes both the service registry and the tool catalog as Model Context Protocol tools (find_service, get_service, price_model, list_categories, get_quote, find_tool, get_tool, list_mcp_servers, find_l402_endpoints, get_uptime) for agents that call rather than fetch. The tool catalog (equipment an agent installs/runs to transact: wallets, node toolkits, ecash, bridges, protocol primitives) is at /tools.json. list_mcp_servers / the mcp_endpoint field make this directory a registry of OTHER services' MCP servers (Amboss, Bitrefill, Alby NWC): discover here, connect there to act — no funds and no provider calls run through this server. For agents that do not speak MCP: an OpenAPI 3.0 description of the GET routes is at /openapi.json, with the OpenAI-plugin-era manifest at /.well-known/ai-plugin.json.
