humanMCP Marketplace

A federated listings board across personal humanMCP servers. No accounts. No algorithms. Just humans and their offers.

Live: https://marketplace.humanmcp.net MCP endpoint: POST https://marketplace.humanmcp.net/mcp

What it does

Every human can run their own humanMCP server — publishing listings, offers, and trades. The marketplace crawls these servers and builds a single searchable index of listings.

Think of it as a town square where every stall is independently owned. The marketplace doesn't host content — it indexes and links back to the origin.

Register your server

Any humanMCP instance can join. No account needed — just your domain:

curl -X POST https://marketplace.humanmcp.net/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domain": "yourname-humanmcp.fly.dev"}'

The marketplace will:

1. Verify it's a real humanMCP (fetches /.well-known/agent.json)

2. Index all listings from /listings/feed.json

3. Add to crawl schedule (every 6 hours)

Requirements: your server must expose /.well-known/agent.json and /listings/feed.json.

How crawling works

Your humanMCP server
    ↓
Marketplace fetches /.well-known/agent.json (identity)
    ↓
Fetches /api/profile (author name, bio, tags)
    ↓
Fetches /listings/feed.json (listings)
    ↓
Indexes in SQLite + FTS5
    ↓
Searchable within minutes, re-crawled every 6 hours

Listings stay on your server. Marketplace keeps a search index only.

Configuration

Stack

• Go (stdlib + modernc.org/sqlite)

• SQLite + FTS5 for full-text search

• Fly.io single machine, 256MB

• No JS framework — server-rendered HTML with keyboard navigation

Run locally

go build -o marketplace ./cmd/server/
./marketplace --seed kapoost.humanmcp.net
# open http://localhost:8080

Deploy

fly apps create humanmcp-marketplace
fly volumes create marketplace_data --size 1 --region ams
fly deploy

Key principles

1. Listings only — marketplace indexes offers, trades, services

2. No content hosting — index + link back, always

3. Attribution — author server visible on every result

4. Opt-in — register voluntarily

5. Federated — anyone can run their own marketplace instance

6. Open protocol — humanMCP REST API is the standard

Creative content (poems, essays, images) belongs on the author's server. A separate discovery service for that is planned.
