New Protocol Aims to Make APIs Discoverable for AI Agents

The Intention Market Protocol (IMP) aims to solve the problem of APIs being invisible to AI agents by creating a discoverable and ranked index. Script Master Labs offers a hosted Premium Index service that operates the Match API, handles API keys and metering, and distributes Agent Manifest Beacons (AMBs), which broadcast an API's capabilities and pricing. This service, priced at $49 for a starter plan, ensures that APIs can be found and utilized by agents, moving beyond the limitations of private toolboxes like MCP alone. AI

IMPACT Enhances discoverability for APIs used by AI agents, potentially increasing their adoption and monetization.
