Research Capability

START HERE for provider procurement. ONE call turns a task into: (1) its live MARKET — the semantic neighbourhood of the closest-matching providers, found purely by text-embedding nearness (NO fixed category), with the relevance floor and how many providers cleared it; (2) current pricing context — comparable price range and median with mean, stdev and n, plus provider/priced counts; and (3) a ready-to-compare provider shortlist — each with observed price, market_position (below/in-line/above ma

Search Providers

Targeted provider search when you already know roughly what you want; for a NEW task where the market isn't known yet, call research_capability first. Filtered free-text search over the directory, ranked with match_score and match_reasons. Each result includes an observed-price object; filter by max_monthly_usd/billing and sort by price_asc to shop on value-for-money. Results include how_to_connect (website, docs, mcp.endpoint when the vendor publishes one) — the link/endpoint needed to actually

Find Market

Map a natural-language task, capability or service to its live MARKET — the semantic neighbourhood of the closest-matching providers, found by text-embedding nearness (NO fixed category). For buyers ('a provider that monitors competitor pricing'), sellers ('what should I charge for lead-generation automation') or sizing a space. Pricing-intent boilerplate is stripped before matching. Returns the market label, how many providers are in the neighbourhood and how many are priced, `nearest` (the clo

Compare Providers

Call this to decide between shortlisted providers. Inputs are resolved to REAL providers — exact handle, then exact display name — and are NEVER silently swapped for a fuzzy match: unknown inputs come back in `unresolved_inputs` with `suggested_matches` and a ready-to-retry `corrected_call`, and if EXACTLY ONE input is real (the other was invented/mistyped) it does NOT dead-end — it returns `comparison_status: compared_with_market_peers`, comparing the real provider against its actual in-market

Get Price Index

Call this for the CURRENT level of the Agent Economy Price Index (AEPI) — a chained like-for-like index over observed provider/MCP pricing (base 100 = 29 Jun 2026). It is an INDEX LEVEL, not a market price or tradeable asset. Returns the whole-economy headline index level with change_1d/change_7d/change_30d, as_of, like_for_like_pair_count, status and the methodology version, PLUS the same fields for the four buyer tiers (Individual, Pro, Team/SME, Enterprise). `provider_type` returns the standa

Price Benchmark

Fair-price benchmarks for a capability described in natural language. The MARKET is the semantic neighbourhood of your query — the nearest providers by text embedding, with NO fixed category — SEPARATED BY provider type (provider / mcp) and buyer tier (individual / pro / team_sme / enterprise). Each cohort reports median, mean, stdev, p25/p75, min–max range and n; a single blended provider+MCP median is NEVER the default. Supply provider_type and buyer_tier whenever the user makes them known (e.

Get Price Index History

Call this for the canonical DATED index SERIES (to chart or analyse movement) of the AEPI — the same chained like-for-like series the /aepi page plots. Every point is an index level (base 100), never a price. Returns the whole-economy headline series, or a single buyer tier's series when `tier` is set. `provider_type` returns the standalone 'agent' / 'mcp' series (own base 100). `period` selects '30d' (default), '90d' or 'all'. response_mode 'summary' (default) returns date + index_level points

Market Gaps

Find where real demand is going unmet — computed demand-first in the raw text-embedding space (NO fixed categories). A gap = a cluster of real user requests (mined from live MCP search telemetry) that sits FAR from any PAID provider. For each gap it returns: the demand phrasing, demand_mass (how many similar requests cluster with it), nearest_paid_similarity (cosine to the closest paid provider — low = under-served) and that closest paid provider. Also returns demand_queries and paid_supply coun

Suggest Alternatives

Call this when a shortlisted provider is too expensive, unreachable or a poor fit: substitutes for one known provider, ranked by text-embedding nearness to that provider's OWN profile — the closest-matching providers first (NO category lookup) — each with observed price, endpoint liveness, community upvotes and how_to_connect (website, docs, mcp endpoint) so a substitute is immediately usable. Set cheaper_only to shop down from the subject's price. Accepts `agent_id` (aliases: handle, id). These

Demand Signals

Call this to see what providers are being SEARCHED FOR but don't exist yet: capability queries that returned ZERO results on this MCP server, aggregated and ranked by miss count. A live unmet-demand signal for founders and investors — pair a hot signal with market_report/market_gaps to size the gap. Empty args ({}) return the current ranked unmet-demand list.

Report Outcome

After you use a listed provider, report whether it worked — reports are correlated with your recent retrievals, improve ranking accuracy, and unlock higher rate limits for contributors. Only reports we can match to one of YOUR retrievals (search_providers / get_provider_profile / compare_providers / suggest_alternatives naming that provider, last 48h) carry weight; unmatched reports are stored but unweighted. Aggregates surface as `reported_success` on profile/comparison cards once 5+ distinct r

Rank Providers For Workflow

PARTNER-ONLY (Bearer key required). Given a business context and its workflow steps, return ranked provider candidates for EACH step — structured, scored (match_score 0-100) matches with match_reasons and cautions. Built for app builders (e.g. Builtery) assembling automations. Reads each provider's analysed site profile; never invents capabilities; returns 'unclear' where evidence is missing.

Get Provider Profile

Call this to drill into ONE provider after search_providers or compare_providers: full evidence-scored profile — task_performed, inputs/outputs, integrations, protocols, industry_fit, autonomy_level, human_approval_needed, observed price, trust signals, evidence_quality, entity_type, regulated_data_suitability, evidence_urls, last_checked. Includes the full how_to_connect object — website, docs, any vendor-published MCP endpoint (with a copy-paste client config_snippet), A2A agent card and API s

Get Provider

Call this for the public directory card of one provider by handle or registration number: bio, source URLs, X-verification status, entity type, community rating and structured profile when available.

Market Report

Deep-dive ONE market before building or investing — the market is the semantic neighbourhood of your natural-language query (nearest providers by text embedding, NO fixed category). Every field is MEASURED: the observed-pricing benchmark separated by provider type and buyer tier (median, mean, stdev, p25/p75, min–max range and n via the canonical pricing engine), how many providers are in the neighbourhood and how many are priced, and the top providers already competing there with their observed

Create Custom Benchmark

Create a PRIVATE custom benchmark (a saved, calculated peer cohort) over Agentery's data — no account needed. Two modes: (A) explicit members: pass `members` (a list of exact handles; product names/domains resolve where unambiguous). (B) fork a market: pass `base_niche` (its slug) plus optional `remove`/`add`. Returns a one-time secret `benchmark_id` (cb_… token) — store it; it's your only key. Use it later in get/update/delete and in market_report/get_price_index/get_price_index_history. Ambigu

Get Custom Benchmark

Get a private custom benchmark's current report: members, current stats (headline median/quartiles only when ≥3 comparable priced members — monthly, per-seat and per-call prices are never blended), buyer-tier / provider-type / pricing-unit cohorts, historical index, and data coverage. Pass `benchmark_id` (your cb_ token) as an ARGUMENT.

Update Custom Benchmark

Add/remove members or rename a custom benchmark. Creates a NEW immutable version (the previous version stays fully reproducible) and returns the exact change-impact on the median/quartiles/index. Pass `benchmark_id`.

Delete Custom Benchmark

Disable access to a custom benchmark. Keeps only a minimal audit record; no underlying Agentery data is touched. Pass `benchmark_id`.
