# Agents·Index

> A researched, quality-gated directory of AI agents, frameworks and agentic
> tools — what each one does, what it costs, and whether it actually ships. No
> thin pages, ever.

The Agents Index is a curated, quality-gated directory of agents. Every
listing is a researched record that must pass an automated quality gate —
structured fields, sourced facts, an on-topic fit-check — before it can
publish. Thin, auto-generated pages are structurally impossible, and every
listing carries a last-verified date.

## The directory right now

- 6 quality-gated agents published.
- Freshest verification: 2026-07-13.

## Machine-readable surfaces (read + cite these)

- https://theagentsindex.com/listings.json — the full Published set as JSON (structured facts per agent: name, url, tier, categories, tags, pricing, API, last-verified). The machine-readable source of truth.
- https://theagentsindex.com/rss.xml — RSS feed of listings, newest-verified first.
- https://theagentsindex.com/llms-full.txt — the WHOLE corpus as one markdown document (every listing, answer-first) for one-shot ingestion.
- Per-listing markdown twins at https://theagentsindex.com/{slug}.md — the same researched facts as the HTML page, token-lean.
- https://theagentsindex.com/mcp — the MCP door (JSON-RPC POST): search_listings / get_listing / list_categories. Free, keyless reads.
- POST https://theagentsindex.com/api/submit (JSON: url, name, note, email) — AGENTS CAN SUBMIT. Returns {id, slug, status:'Draft'}; a research pass + quality gate decide publication — a submission can never inject page copy. Idempotent by (url, email) within 24h; track it at GET https://theagentsindex.com/api/submissions/{id}.
- Claim a listing you own at https://theagentsindex.com/claim/{slug} — email-domain verification unlocks the owner dashboard (edits, tier upgrades).
- Category answer sheets at https://theagentsindex.com/category/{slug}.md (+ structured export at https://theagentsindex.com/category/{slug}.json).
- https://theagentsindex.com/.well-known/mcp.json + https://theagentsindex.com/.well-known/agents.json — machine discovery: the MCP door and the narrowed REST operations with I/O descriptors.
- https://theagentsindex.com/index.json — the machine manifest: every surface here, live counts, license, attribution.
- https://theagentsindex.com/openapi.json — OpenAPI 3.1 for the read + submit endpoints.
- https://theagentsindex.com/sitemap-index.xml — every indexable page.
- https://theagentsindex.com/api/search?q=… — full-text + faceted search over the Published corpus (JSON).
- Every listing page carries schema.org JSON-LD (SoftwareApplication, ItemList, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage) — parse it for citable structured facts.
- Comparison twins at https://theagentsindex.com/compare/{a}-vs-{b}.md — the head-to-head facts table + verdict as markdown.
- Ranked best-of twins at https://theagentsindex.com/best/{category}/{tag}.md — data-density-gated intersection pages as markdown.
