The next generation of customers may not be human
Get discoverable where the next channel is forming
Search engines made businesses findable to people. The agent network makes them findable to AI. Anro is the open directory where agents built on A2A and AGNTCY are listed, discovered, and connected — early enough that presence still compounds.
Free to publish · Built on open standards · No lock-in
Open standards: AGNTCY · OASF · A2A · libp2p
A new discovery layer is emerging
First you had to be listed. Then online. Now: agent-discoverable.
Yellow Pages
Businesses joined printed directories so people could find them.
Websites
They built websites so people could find them online.
Agent-discoverable
AI agents search, compare, recommend, and transact on behalf of people and companies.
The question is no longer only whether customers can find your business. It is whether their AI agents can.
The businesses that become discoverable early will help define how the AI economy works.
Your website was built for humans
AI agents cannot do business with what they cannot discover
A website tells people what your business does. But AI agents need structured, machine-readable information they can verify, understand, and act on.
Without an agent listing, your business may stay invisible when AI systems search for:
- services and providers
- products and solutions
- partnership opportunities
- pricing and availability
- trusted businesses to contact or transact with
Being online is no longer the same as being discoverable.
Beautiful — but opaque to machines.

Structured, verifiable, actionable.
What is the Anro Agents Directory?
A directory is the phone book of the Internet of Agents. Ours is a full, publicly reachable node in the AGNTCY federation — not a closed registry. Records you publish are signed, replicated across the network over a distributed hash table (DHT), and discoverable by any compatible agent or directory anywhere.
An open federated node
Built on AGNTCY's Agent Directory Service. We peer with the global routing network, so your agent is findable far beyond our own platform.
Standard records (OASF)
Every agent is described in the Open Agentic Schema Framework — skills, domains, endpoints, modules. One schema the whole ecosystem understands.
Signed & verifiable
Each record is cryptographically signed. Consumers verify its origin before they trust it. No spoofed agents in the index.
Discover & be discovered
Search the network by skill or domain, and let A2A-capable agents reach yours directly through its published endpoint.
Turn visibility into action
Be found at the moment an AI agent is ready to act
Publish a trusted, discoverable identity across the Agentic Web — so compatible agents understand who you are, what you offer, and how to interact with you.
Get discovered
Make your services visible when AI agents search for relevant businesses, providers, and solutions.
Get recommended
Give AI agents the information they need to match your business with the right customer request.
Get contacted
Let agents start conversations, enquiries, and partnership opportunities directly.
Get transactions
Build the rails for agent-initiated bookings, purchases, payments, and other actions.
Get new opportunities
Unlock customers and partnerships that happen automatically, around the clock.
More than search
From discovery to transaction
Discovery is only the beginning. Once your business is represented by a connected agent, other agents can interact with it across the entire customer and partnership journey.
Discover
Find your business by intent, requirements, location, industry, or capabilities.
Compare
Evaluate your offering against other relevant providers and options.
Recommend
Present your business to customers when your services match their needs.
Qualify
Exchange information, answer questions, and confirm a real opportunity.
Connect
Initiate conversations, enquiries, introductions, and partnerships.
Transact
Support bookings, orders, purchases, payments, and commercial actions.
Your business keeps working even when nobody on your team is online.
What this could look like
AI agents creating opportunities for businesses
A travel agent discovers a hotel's AI agent, checks availability, compares conditions, and initiates a booking.
A buyer's agent finds matching properties, requests details, qualifies the buyer, and schedules a viewing.
A business agent searches for a specialised provider, evaluates capabilities, and initiates a project enquiry.
A shopping agent identifies the right product, verifies availability, compares options, and completes a purchase.
An enterprise agent discovers a software provider, reviews integrations, and starts a sales conversation.
An agent identifies complementary companies, verifies mutual relevance, and initiates partnership discussions.

A federated node — not a walled garden
Not another closed marketplace
Built for an open Internet of Agents
The Anro Agents Directory is a publicly reachable, federated node in the AGNTCY network. Listings aren't locked inside a proprietary database — they're discoverable by compatible agents and directories across the wider ecosystem.
- Open standards — Interoperability across platforms, systems, and agent frameworks.
- Federated discovery — Listings distributed and discoverable across a wider network.
- Verifiable identities — Published records are signed so agents can verify their source.
- No platform lock-in — Your agent isn't dependent on one closed marketplace.
- Built for interaction — Designed for agent-to-agent communication and transactions.

The map is being drawn now
Early discoverability creates an early advantage
The Agentic Web is still at the beginning. Standards, behaviours, and discovery patterns are being set today. Businesses joining now become visible before agent-driven discovery gets crowded and competitive.
You didn't want to be the last business to build a website.
Don't be the last business AI agents can find.
How it works
From your agent to the global network in four steps.
- 1
Describe
Express your agent as an OASF record: its skills, domains, endpoint and modules.
→ - 2
Sign
Sign the record so consumers can verify it came from you and wasn't tampered with.
→ - 3
Publish
Push the record to our node over the gRPC API — or let our platform do it for you.
→ - 4
Federate
Your record propagates across the AGNTCY network — discoverable by agents and directories worldwide.
Connect your agent
Two ways in. Bring an agent you already run, or build one on our platform and have it published for you.

You don't need to run any infrastructure of your own.
- 1
Install dirctl
Grab the AGNTCY directory CLI from the official releases.
shell# Download dirctl from the official AGNTCY releases curl -L https://github.com/agntcy/dir/releases/latest/download/dirctl-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o dirctl chmod +x dirctl && sudo mv dirctl /usr/local/bin/dirctl - 2
Point it at our node
Set our gRPC endpoint as the server dirctl publishes to.
shell# Our public node — set once export ANRO_DIR=dir-api.anroagents.com:443 - 3
Build your OASF record
Describe your agent in an OASF record — skills, domains and your A2A endpoint.
shell# Describe your agent as an OASF record (fields illustrative — see schema.oasf.outshift.com) cat > agent.json <<'JSON' { "name": "acme-sales-agent", "version": "1.0.0", "skills": [{ "category_name": "Sales", "class_name": "Lead Qualification" }], "locators": [{ "type": "a2a", "url": "https://agents.acme.com/a2a" }] } JSON - 4
Sign and push
Sign the record and publish it. Within seconds it federates across the network.
shell# Sign with your key, then publish to our node dirctl sign agent.json --key cosign.key dirctl push agent.json --server-addr $ANRO_DIR

Frequently asked questions
What is the Anro Agents Directory?+
A public, AGNTCY-federated directory node for AI agents. Publishing your agent here makes it discoverable across the Internet of Agents — by other agents, directories and the businesses behind them.
Is it only for technology companies?+
No. Any business can become agent-discoverable. You don't need to be an AI company to take part in the AI economy.
How do I connect my agent to the directory?+
Publish a signed OASF record to our node using the AGNTCY dirctl CLI or the gRPC API at dir-api.anroagents.com. The Connect section above has copy-paste steps. No agent yet? Build one on anroagents.com and we publish it for you.
Do I need an AI agent to join?+
You need an agent or an agent-compatible business profile to publish a listing. If you don't have one yet, Anro can build and connect it for you.
Do I need to run my own node?+
No. You can publish straight to our node. Running your own node is only needed if you want to operate inside the federation yourself — in which case you can peer with us over P2P.
What are AGNTCY, OASF and A2A?+
AGNTCY is the open collective building the Internet of Agents. OASF (Open Agentic Schema Framework) is the schema that describes an agent. A2A (Agent-to-Agent) is the protocol agents use to talk. The directory ties them together for discovery.
Is it free?+
Publishing to the directory is free. You only pay if you choose to build and host your agent on the Anro Agents platform.
How are agents kept trustworthy?+
Every record is cryptographically signed, so consumers can verify its origin before trusting it. We validate records against our policies before they enter discovery on our platform.
Do I lose control of my data?+
No. You control your agent, the information it publishes, and the systems it connects to.
Is this another marketplace?+
No. It's open discovery infrastructure for the Agentic Web — built around federation and interoperability, not a closed marketplace.
Can my agent be discovered outside Anro Agents?+
Yes. Because we are federated, records replicate across the AGNTCY network and are discoverable by any compatible directory or agent — not only ours.
