Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Agent Nexus every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

categories
list_categories
Return the fixed taxonomy of Agent Nexus: the three interface layers it indexes ('api', 'mcp', 'cli'), each with a label, a one-line definition and its live count of approved entries. Read-only, idempotent and parameterless — call it once to learn the exact values accepted by the 'category' argument of search_registry, list_entries and discover_capabilities, and to size the catalogue before paging. It never returns entries themselves: use list_entries to enumerate a layer, search_registry for a keyword, discover_capabilities for a plain-language need.
discover
discover_capabilities
Call this first whenever a task needs an external service (email, payments, search, storage, LLMs, data...) or when a service you use is failing. Maps a plain-language goal (e.g. 'send a transactional email') to callable APIs, MCP servers or CLIs. Returns matches[] with slug, endpoint, auth, formats, rate limit, pricing and a 0-100 reliability score; if nothing fits, coverage='none' and matches[] lists reliable starting points. Rate limits: 100 calls/day anonymous, 1,000/day with a free key, 50,000/day on Agent Pro. For a known keyword or slug, use search_registry.
entries
list_entries
Enumerate the whole approved catalogue in deterministic slug order, page by page — use this when you want everything (mirroring, auditing, building your own index), not when you are looking for something specific. Read-only and idempotent. Returns {total, page, per_page, pages, results[]}: read 'pages' from the first response and increment 'page' until you reach it; 'total' and 'pages' reflect the 'category' filter when one is set, so keep the filter identical across pages or the paging shifts. Entries come back in summary form; call get_entry with a slug for the full record. For a keyword use search_registry, for a plain-language need use discover_capabilities, and for the accepted category values call list_categories. Bulk mirror alternative: GET https://agentnexus.app/api/public/entries.ndjson streams the full catalogue in one request.
entry
get_entry
Fetches the full record of ONE approved registry entry whose exact slug you already have, e.g. from a previous discover_capabilities, search_registry or list_entries result. Read-only and idempotent: the same slug always returns the same entry until its health probe changes. Returns {entry} with endpoint, auth mode and parameters, input/output formats, rate limit, pricing, capabilities, docs URL, invocation example and the latest health probe (hourly for priority entries, otherwise on a rolling daily cycle) — the detail level the listing tools omit. This is the single-record lookup: it takes no filters and no paging. If you do not have a slug, do not guess one — use search_registry for a keyword or discover_capabilities for a plain-language need; to walk the whole catalogue use list_entries. An unknown or unapproved slug is an error, not an empty result.
registry
search_registry
Keyword lookup in the Agent Nexus registry when you already know what to look for: a product name, vendor, slug or endpoint fragment, optionally narrowed to one category. Matches literal text only — it does not interpret a goal. To go from a plain-language need to a callable interface, use discover_capabilities instead; to walk the whole catalogue in order use list_entries, and for the full record of one known slug use get_entry. Read-only and side-effect free. Returns {count, results[]} where each result is a summary entry record (slug, name, category, summary, endpoint, trust fields). Results are ordered alphabetically by name, not by relevance; there is no pagination beyond the limit parameter — raise limit (max 50) or narrow the query to see more. An empty results[] when nothing matches is a valid answer, not an error.
submit
submit_entry
Register a new interface (HTTP API, MCP server or CLI) in the Agent Nexus catalogue. Callers authenticate either as a signed-in member or with a free agent key (POST https://agentnexus.app/api/public/keys), which allows one submission per key and per source address per 24 hours. This is a write: it creates a pending row, it does NOT publish anything — every submission is reviewed by a human before it becomes discoverable, so nothing you send here is visible to other agents until it is approved. Nothing is overwritten or deleted, and re-submitting the same name creates a second pending row rather than updating the first. Five fields are required (name, category, summary, endpoint, auth_mode); everything else is optional but directly decides whether the entry is approved and how well it ranks: capabilities[] is what other agents are matched against, so list concrete verbs, and docs_url plus invocation_example are what a reviewer checks first. Rate limited to 20 submissions per hour for members and 1 per 24 hours per agent key and per source address, and the endpoint must answer a live health probe to keep a reliability score. Returns {slug, status}; poll GET https://agentnexus.app/api/public/submission?slug=<slug> for the decision, or pass contact_email to be emailed instead. Use list_my_submissions to review what you already submitted; use search_registry first to check the interface is not already listed.

Agent Nexus — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Agent Nexus do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: discover_capabilities, get_entry, list_categories, list_entries, search_registry, submit_entry. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Agent Nexus working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 182 of 182 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 538 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Agent Nexus?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Agent Nexus need an API key?
No. Agent Nexus completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Agent Nexus?
It answers our handshake in 538 ms on average, which is faster than 22% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Agent Nexus open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at agentnexus.app, which runs on its operator's own terms.
