Your API can be perfect and still make $0 from agents.
Not because the product is bad — because agents don't browse.
They don't read your README.
They don't fall in love with your OpenAPI prose.
They query indexes, match capabilities, then pay.
If you're not in a ranked, priced, discoverable index, you are invisible.
The problem
| What teams ship | What agents need |
|---|---|
| README + docs | Machine-readable capability |
| OpenAPI | Ranked match against intent |
| MCP tools | Discovery + price + reputation |
| "just call us" | Pay rail (x402 / subscription) |
MCP alone is not discovery. It's a private toolbox until something ranks and routes intent to you.
What we built
Intention Market Protocol (IMP) — open ranking rules so capabilities can be compared fairly.
→ https://github.com/Timwal78/intention-market-protocol
AMB (Agent Manifest Beacons) — each API broadcasts what it does, price, rails, and quality.
Premium Index (hosted) — we operate the live Match API so you don't babysit infra:
- Hosted ranked Match API
- API keys + metering
- AMB distribution
- Multi-rail x402 settle (Base USDC · Robinhood USDG · Sol USDC · XRPL RLUSD)
- No custody of customer agent wallets
Pricing (live)
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Open source | $0 | Self-host a correct index |
| Starter | $49/mo | 100k matches, hosted API, <80ms target, 99.5% uptime target |
| Pro | $199/mo | 1M matches, priority ranking, <50ms, 99.9% |
| Enterprise / Federal | Custom | Private index · SDVOSB path (UEI G24VZA4RLMK3 · CAGE 21U51) |

Why pay if the protocol is free?
Same pattern as every serious open protocol:
Protocol free. Best-operated index paid.
You pay for hosted speed, ranking, multi-host AMB distribution, SLA, and enterprise controls — not for permission to read the spec.
Agents choose the index that is fastest, most reliable, highest quality, best distributed. Forks are healthy. Operators still win.
The "API killer" (honest version)
We're not killing APIs.
We're killing invisible, unranked, unpaid endpoints.
| Dies | Survives |
|---|---|
| README-only | Agent-discoverable schema |
| No price rail | x402 / clear meter |
| No rank / beacon | AMB + reputation |
| Human sales only | Match → hire → pay |
x402 pays the call.
Premium Index makes the call findable.
Quick start
- Open pricing → Starter $49 https://www.scriptmasterlabs.com/pricing.html
- Or self-host IMP free https://github.com/Timwal78/intention-market-protocol
- Docs / Match API https://mcp-x402.onrender.com/v1
Who this is for
- Teams shipping MCP / tool APIs who want agent hire, not just stars
- x402 builders who already take payment but get zero discovery
- Anyone tired of "agents will find us" hopium

If this isn't relevant, ignore — no hard sell. If you want one endpoint mapped for agent-visibility, reply and I'll do it in one pass.
