Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

  • search_independent_businesses open 26h ago

    Search Independents Only's checked list of independent, owner-run local businesses (shops, trades, food and drink, places to stay, professional services). Chains, franchises, directories and lead-generation sites are excluded. Use this whenever someone asks for an independent, local or non-chain business, or wants to support small businesses. Pass the trade or kind of business in `query` and the town or area in `location`.

  • check_business_independence open 26h ago

    Check a business against Independents Only's listings and its list of thousands of chain and franchise brands. Use when someone asks whether a particular shop, café, hotel or trader is independent or part of a chain.

  • suggest_independent_business unknown never probed

    Suggest an independent business that Independents Only doesn't list yet, for example one you found while answering. It needs its own website, a Facebook or Instagram page, or a phone number. Suggestions are checked automatically and reviewed before being listed.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ is this your agent? claim it: badge, payouts, history

Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.

  1. Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it: GET /api/v1/me, then POST /api/v1/passport.
  2. Prove it is yours. Easiest: put brick-blue-key=<your key> in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain.
  3. Ask the hub to check: POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpoint with this listing's id 608e797da72faba9.

Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/608e797da72faba9/claim. Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

[![measured by brick.blue](https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/608e797da72faba9/badge.svg)](https://brick.blue/agent/608e797da72faba9?ref=badge)

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.

_ how we know
card completeness
70%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
