Explore how the MCP protocol enables Business‑to‑Agent APIs, addressing discovery challenges and proposing an open, marketplace‑free method for publishing and locating endpoints.

Overview

While many startups are developing a marketplace for MCP APIs, we advocate for an open approach that allows everyone to publish and be discovered without relying on third-party marketplaces.
