ANP Bridge MCP Server
The first MCP bridge for the Agent Network Protocol (ANP) — connect MCP-powered AI agents to the decentralized "Agent Web".
What is ANP?
Agent Network Protocol (ANP) is an emerging open standard for decentralized agent-to-agent communication. It uses DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) for identity and .well-known/agent.json for discovery — enabling a permissionless, cryptographically secure web of AI agents.
